What is Executive Coaching?
Executive coaching is a powerful tool for leaders who want to have a big impact without burning out. As an executive coach, I work with clients in high-demand fields of academia, medicine, law, K-12 education, non-profit leadership, and more.
In executive coaching, we cover a range of topics that align with my clients’ goals. Some examples include (though the possibilities are limitless):
Managing up: communicating with your boss or leadership team effectively to advance your goals.
Navigating conflict and challenging conversations: understanding your communication and conflict preferences, structuring difficult conversations to align with your values, reframing your default patterns and perspectives on conflict.
Productivity: creating more time for deep work, changing patterns of procrastination, developing a schedule that syncs with your energy ebbs and flows, building motivation and focus.
Well-being, balance, and boundaries: understanding the foundation you need to live and work sustainably, learning how to set boundaries that honor the work/life balance you’re craving.
Inner game: shifting patterns of negative self-talk, self-sabotage, and imposter syndrome into greater confidence, ease, and a generous relationship with yourself.
Human-centered leadership: identifying ways to support team members, creating tailored accountability that works, using a coaching approach with team members, building a positive culture.
Leadership strengths and blind spots: Knowing where you excel and building upon that while identifying blind spots, challenges, and opportunities for growth.
Team dynamics: Cultivating greater productivity, building a values-aligned team culture, navigating team conflicts.
Relationship-building: Building networks, collaborative projects, and allyship.
Executive coaching is a game changer. Clients feel like they have a thought-partner, co-conspirator for growth, and a person who sees their essence and potential. They appreciate the time to work on their growth and transformation in service of greater well-being and impact. Over time, they see the ripple impacts of executive coaching throughout their team, organization, relationships, and personal life.
