Executive Coaching

Common reasons people engage an executive coach

Contemplating a life change. You know it's time to make a change, but you're not sure where to start. Maybe you're feeling stagnant in your current role, or thinking about the next phase of your business or life. Coaching helps you take action to explore different paths for your future.

Taking on a new role. You're stepping into a new role that's going to stretch you. You see this as an opportunity to show up differently and take your leadership to the next level. Coaching helps you develop new leadership skills, put them into practice, and build confidence.

Ready to act on feedback. Your biggest strength sometimes turns into your biggest opportunity. You've heard the feedback before, but it never felt worth it to change. It's starting to impact others and get in your way and you're ready to put in the work to grow.

Growing with your company. You realize what got you here isn't what’s going to get you or your organization to the next level. You want to be more intentional about the way you show up to your team and the type of leader you need to be to realize your organization's strategic goals.

Investing in high-potential leaders. You have top performers on your team that you want to retain and who are eager to expand their roles in the organization. You want to put them in stretch roles and also give them the support they need to be successful. 

Building a high-performing leadership team. You may have just formed a leadership team or added new members and want to be intentional about how you work together as a team. Or you may be experiencing an unhealthy team dynamic and want to rebuild trust and alignment as a team.
