Leadership Coaching

Our Leadership Coaching Program is a popular, widespread transformational learning process targeted at nurturing and sustaining change in participants to accelerate their performance, effectiveness and capacity as leaders and human beings. Our highly individualized program transforms leaders and organizations by building new “muscles” required to support deep and lasting change desired.  We teach participants how to harness change or challenges, as development opportunities.  Change or challenges then become a crucible for development, not an impediment.  We develop high levels of self-awareness required to observe, feel and act, and identify areas of resistance and personal ways of supporting change.  What is important to you now?  By identifying “how you are "versus“ how you want to be” and the gaps in between, we help participants reinvent themselves, while preserving their unique “humanness,” so positive change lasts and even grows.  We use this approach because we feel that when we are able to act as our best selves, we are less likely to default to old habits.  We do not coach problems to be fixed.  We coach people who simply want to get better.  Participants will embrace rather than resist challenges as they start observing what is happening to them and self-managing the outcomes in their varied situations.
