My Coaching Approach

Transforming Pivotal Moments into Leadership Breakthroughs

As a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) trained by the Hudson Institute of Coaching and certified by the International Coaching Federation, I bring both rigorous coaching methodology and 30 years of leadership experience to our partnership. My approach is designed to help you navigate your most pivotal professional moments with clarity, confidence, and exceptional results.

The Pivotal Leadership Framework™

My coaching methodology follows a structured yet flexible approach that adapts to your specific leadership challenges:

1. Comprehensive Assessment

We begin by gaining deep insight into your current leadership reality. Through targeted assessments, 360° feedback (when appropriate), and in-depth conversations, we identify your strengths, growth opportunities, and the specific pivotal moments you're navigating.

2. Strategic Development Plan

Together, we create a clear, actionable development plan focused on your most important leadership priorities. This plan serves as our roadmap, with specific goals, success metrics, and development strategies tailored to your unique situation.

3. Targeted Capability Building

Through our coaching sessions, you'll develop the specific leadership capabilities needed to excel in your pivotal moments. Using a combination of evidence-based frameworks, reflective inquiry, and practical application, you'll build lasting leadership strengths.

4. Real-World Implementation

Coaching insights become valuable when applied in real leadership contexts. We'll focus on immediate application, addressing your current leadership challenges while building capabilities for long-term success.

5. Ongoing Refinement

As you implement new approaches, we'll regularly assess progress, celebrate successes, refine strategies, and address emerging challenges. This iterative process ensures continuous growth and sustainable results.

My Coaching Philosophy

My coaching approach is guided by several core principles:

  • Leadership is contextual. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to leadership. I help you develop the specific capabilities needed for your unique leadership context and challenges.

  • Transformation happens at the edge of comfort. Growth requires stretching beyond familiar patterns and embracing new perspectives. I create a supportive environment for productive discomfort and breakthrough learning.

  • Results matter. While personal growth is important, leadership coaching must ultimately deliver tangible outcomes. Our work together is designed to create measurable impact for you, your team, and your organization.

  • Sustainable change requires integration. True development integrates new insights, behaviors, and mindsets into your leadership identity. We focus on changes that align with your authentic self and can be sustained over time.

  • Partnership creates power. Our coaching relationship is a collaborative partnership built on trust, candor, and mutual commitment to your success. This partnership provides the foundation for transformative growth.

Through this approach, you'll not only navigate your current pivotal moments with greater effectiveness but develop lasting leadership capabilities that serve you throughout your career.
