THE HUMAN PART / LEADERSHIP COACHING

Greater confidence.
A clearer direction.

I coach leaders who want greater confidence, clearer direction, and meaningful change in their lives.

We start with where you are, what matters to you, and what you want to do differently.

Let’s talk about where you are

A PLACE TO START

What would you like
to change?

Greater confidence.

Get to know your strengths, question the assumptions you make about yourself, and explore what leading more authentically means to you.

Clearer direction.

Make space to consider what matters to you now and where you want to go next.

Meaningful change.

Look honestly at familiar patterns and choose a next step that matters in your work and your life.

GROUNDED IN AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP

Being comfortable
in your own skin.

Explore The Crucible’s Gift

When you can own your mistakes and recognize what others contribute, you lighten the room. People have more room to be vulnerable.

That’s why authenticity matters to me. My book, The Crucible’s Gift, provides the backdrop to my coaching: understanding yourself, examining your experiences, and being honest about what gets in the way.

We begin with your life and what you want to work through. The book gives us ideas to explore, while your experience gives the conversation its direction.

WHAT I BRING

I’ve had to question
my own judgment.

I’ve failed as a CEO twice. During my time as a CEO, I also lost my entire retirement savings. I knew it was time to walk away, and I doubled down instead.

Those experiences made me look at my fear of failure and what I believed I could turn around. They’re part of why I care about these conversations.

In coaching, I bring questions, a willingness to listen, and room for an honest conversation. We’ll look at what matters to you, the assumptions you’re making, and a next step you want to take.

START WITH A CONVERSATION

You don’t need
a polished answer.

Tell me a little about where you are and what you’d like to change. We can talk about whether working together feels like a good fit.
