- Coached a High School Principal in an urban school system to reduce work related stress and identify a plan to implement short-term and long-term goals for herself, her staff and her school’s continued growth and development.
- Provided coaching to a CEO in a non-profit organization to further develop communication skills to enable more effective collaboration with her Board of Trustees and other stakeholders. Coaching resulted in greater awareness of non-verbal behaviors and underlying issues that were interfering with her communication. This insight resulted in improved relationships, reduced stress and greater productivity amongst all stakeholders.
- Provided coaching to a newly appointed Chief Administrative Officer who was promoted from within an organization. Coaching focused on integration into her new role as well as enhancing her Emotional and Social Intelligence skills to facilitate her success regarding new responsibilities and expectations.
- Coached a COO to expand her repertoire of conflict resolution skills to achieve better results both within her company and with stakeholders. She also developed her strategic thinking skills to better assist the CEO in expansion and leadership development initiatives. She gained greater expertise in holding direct reports accountable to improve efficiency and reliability of her direct reports.
- Collaborated with Women in Cable Telecommunications (WICT) to provide individual laser coaching to attendees at their annual conference.
- Coached the Nursing Supervisor of a large health care non-profit to develop a greater executive presence and the self-confidence to achieve greater success in her new managerial role. Coaching enhanced her ability to perform in stressful situations and generally reduced her stress level at work, resulting in a more content and productive work and personal life.
- Coached a senior manager at a non-profit social service agency to improve her ability to engage direct reports. Coaching helped her better understand how certain behaviors were perceived by others, resulting in a gap between her intent and how she was often perceived. She developed greater emotional intelligence by identifying her own emotions in certain stressful situations and how they impacted her behavior as well as identifying the possible emotions of others and adjusting her interactions to them accordingly.
- Provided coaching to a high potential employee to prepare her for promotion within her company. Through 360 feedback and coaching she learned to leverage her strengths while being mindful of how certain strengths, when over-used, became deficits. She developed greater self-awareness regarding the impact of her culture and up-bringing on her confidence and developed strategies to overcome these issues at work to enhance her leadership skills.
- Coached a manager in a global non-profit to identify her short and long-term professional and career goals. By better understanding and recognizing her symptoms of Imposter Syndrome, she was able to recognize and embrace her strengths and set higher, yet achievable goals, than she would have prior to coaching.
- Coached several entrepreneurs in various stages of developing their businesses/practices. Coaching addressed such topics as building a client-base, networking, maintaining continuity with personal values and maintaining work/life balance.
- Coached an administrator at an innovative non-profit on increased job satisfaction. He advocated for job enlargement to include areas of personal interest to him and increased his satisfaction and, consequently, productivity in his position. We also addressed his goal of improving his time management skills which enabled him to reduce his stress and have increased time for activities in his personal life that were important to him.
