Executive Coaching to Maximize Impact & Minimize Burnout
Develop your mindset and advance your organization’s mission
How Executive Coaching Can Help Your Organization
Executive coaching helps organizations generate long-term benefits such as increased self-awareness, improved leadership skills, better people management abilities, enhanced goal setting and prioritization, increased productivity and engagement, and improved communication skills.
By learning to shift perspectives and practices, your organization’s leaders can increase impact and reduce stress for themselves and those they serve.
Challenges Holding Back Your Organization
The effectiveness of your organization’s leaders is key — from directors to VPs to chief executives. Here are some common challenges we work with leaders to address.
Recruitment & Retention
You’re seeking to attract and retain skilled, passionate professionals. You recognize the importance of investing in your team members so they can grow within the organization. Your leaders’ self-awareness and emotional intelligence will shape your organization’s ability to do so.
Building an Engaged Workforce
Team members who feel connected and engaged will enhance your organization’s reputation and effectiveness. With employees working remotely or hybrid, it’s especially important to bring people together to build a sense of community. Do your organization’s leaders do this effectively?
Managing Up
Your organization needs team members to manage up and in all directions so everyone can shine. But what if that’s new for them?
Impactful Partnerships
Your organization needs to connect and engage with key stakeholders, be it partners, funders, members, or clients. Some relationships are suffering due to neglect, miscommunication, or a gap in expectations. How will you repair these relationships and get fresh ones off to a strong start?
Cultivating a Supportive Culture
Increasingly, a supportive workplace culture that is respectful and offers mentorship opportunities is important to today’s workforce. Your leaders need to create and maintain a welcoming, supportive company culture.
Clear Communication
Miscommunication, too many communication channels (or not enough), differing levels of comfort with technology, and rambling meetings are getting in the way of work satisfaction and productivity. What if you could develop approaches to free up time and increase impact?
Prioritization
There’s so much to do and so little time. Your people need to be clear on priorities while cultivating adaptability so they can pivot as needs change. How do you choose what to focus on right now and get your team on the same page?
Burnout
Team members are feeling like they can’t keep up with their work. At times they feel overwhelmed and frustrated. That impacts team morale and productivity. It is a vicious cycle that can contribute to a toxic work environment. How do your organization’s leaders handle this?
Helping Your Organization Live Up To Its Potential
I’m here to help your organization’s leaders address these challenges. Here’s how…
✔ A holistic approach tapping into my degrees in psychology, public administration, and law.
✔ Insights from 20+ years of professional experience in a wide array of settings, from tiny grassroots organizations to leading research institutions
✔ Experience coaching hundreds of professionals to help them increase their clarity and take intentional action
✔ Expertise guiding clients to engage in storytelling to reflect, explore possibilities, and connect for optimal impact
Through executive coaching, I support organizational leaders to navigate issues and move forward with increased effectiveness.
An Accountability Partner for Your Organization’s Leaders
Leaders often struggle with making decisions aligned with the organization’s values and policies while fostering a supportive work environment.
They may ask themselves these common questions:
How do I delegate effectively?
How do I develop my team members effectively?
How do I use my time and guide my team to maximize impact?
How do I leverage my skills to advance the organization’s mission and avoid burnout?
How do I work effectively across different departments?
That’s where I come in.
I use questions that help leaders reach the heart of challenges and opportunities, and move forward with purpose.
Many leaders find that having a trusted person from outside their organization to talk with can help them think through tricky situations so they can move forward intentionally.
Leading with Clarity to Drive Change
When people lead with clarity and confidence, they are better equipped to take on BIG issues, like our climate crisis and racial and gender inequity. Driving organizational and systemic change requires leaders who are self-aware and emotionally intelligent.
When we work together, you have a dedicated space to focus on tapping into your strengths, bringing more joy to your work, and creating the kind of impact you’ve dreamed of.
