My approach to leadership coaching is unique in that I approach it from a deep, holistic level versus a surface level.  Leadership tips and tricks are great but often fail to address the underlying reasons why our efforts aren’t exactly hitting the mark.

Maybe it’s a need for validation and belonging that is showing up as a failure to correct poor performance and have the difficult conversations that really matter.  Or a deep rooted fear of making a mistake that pushes us to micromanage our staff in a way that disempowers them.  Or a belief that it’s impossible to trust people with power that shows up as defensiveness or defiance with key stakeholders and is derailing your ability to influence and build rapport.  I call myself a transformational coach and push my clients to dig deep, and go beyond the surface level issues to understand the true root cause.

Behaviors are the visible things that others can see – what we say and what we do.  But sustainable behavior change isn’t created by just slapping a bandaid on something that’s not working.  It’s looking beneath the surface of our life’s lily pad – to the underlying stories, needs, beliefs, values, thoughts and feelings that drive our behavior as leaders.

And as we address these underlying root causes I will share valuable tools and frameworks that will build your leadership competency and capability.  I’m very well versed in management tends and have been teaching for the University of Texas Center for Professional Education since 2014 – whether it’s a framework for giving feedback or having a difficult conversation, I carry a full leadership tool box that we will leverage in our work together.
