Candid Outside Input
The people I coach are already successful and committed to getting better. They value having someone outside the organization who can offer candid input and help them continue developing.
Resources and Assignments
Depending on what we are addressing, I may recommend books, articles, frameworks, or other resources that deepen your knowledge and give us additional ideas to explore. I may also give you an assignment between meetings when it will help you examine an issue more closely, develop a skill, or put an idea into practice.
Cross-Industry Perspective
Having worked with executives in financial services, technology, and healthcare, among other industries, I can draw on lessons from similar challenges. When relevant, I can share how others have responded, what I have seen work, and what may be useful for you.
Complete Confidentiality
Our conversations are confidential. That gives us the freedom to discuss sensitive topics, concerns about people or the organization, and anything else that is important to the work we are doing together.
We meet virtually every two weeks. I hold two hours for each session, though most run 60 to 90 minutes, so we can keep going when a topic needs it. Between meetings, you can reach me directly by phone, text, or email whenever something comes up.
Coaching is billed as a flat monthly retainer rather than an hourly rate, and there is no minimum commitment. We continue for as long as the work is creating real value for you. In practice, most of my coaching relationships run for several years.
Yes, completely. Everything we discuss stays between us, which is what makes the work useful. It gives you a place to talk openly about sensitive decisions, concerns about specific people, or anything in the organization that is hard to raise with your own team.
