Leadership coaching

Coaching starts with you defining your Leadership Roadmap, which establishes what you need to deliver to your organization, how you want to be perceived as a leader, and what you need to do to drive your team to high performance. The Leadership Roadmap sets the overall purpose and direction for your coaching, which supports you to:

  • Obtain your team’s alignment and commitment to the Roadmap

  • Ensure your leader’s team and the rest of you organization are operating in concert to implement the Roadmap

  • Address and overcome barriers to change

  • Facilitate team and individual performance

The coaching process involves initial expectation setting and periodic status conversations with you and your manager, 360 feedback or other assessments to pinpoint leadership strengths and behaviors that need to be developed, one-on-one coaching sessions to identify actions you can take to advance achievement of your Roadmap, and integration of lessons learned. It all adds up to you achieving a remarkably high level of performance and delivering exceptional results.

 

Culture creation

A culture characterized by enthusiastic engagement, aligned action, leading-edge innovation and extraordinary results doesn’t materialize on its own. To achieve this desirable state, clients are coached to thoughtfully and intentionally develop their organizational cultures. The culture improvement process includes:

  • Identifying systemic causes of the gap between where the culture currently is and where it needs to be

  • Utilizing a high involvement process at all levels in the organization to develop targeted actions designed to close the culture gap – and which fosters deep commitment to executing them

  • Implementing pulse-checks that identify culture change progress and any needed course corrections

  • Integrating culture into the fabric of the organization, making it the north star for how the organization truly operates (instead of merely a handful of slogans and exhortations)

This process dovetails with your organization’s existing artifacts such as mission, vision, and values, so that you avoid the common mistake of throwing the baby out with the bathwater. The result: an organization that meets or exceeds its goals, retains top talent, and outperforms its competitors.

Team development

I coach teams to high performance by working with them in real time as they work to solve thorny problems, address conflict, or create innovative products or services. I utilize a highly hands-on, practical approach to team development that goes well beyond typical team-building events. The outcome is a team that’s more collaborative, productive and creative.
