1:1 coaching

Coaching is a dedicated container focused 100% on you, your goals, your vision, your leadership, the impact that you want to make, the big questions that you are grappling with, the possibilities you’ve been considering, the areas of your leadership and life that you feel called to move forward. It combines deep listening, skillful questioning, thought partnership, collaboration, accountability and support —all in service of you and your goals.

Clients consistently leave coaching sessions feeling more energized, less stressed, and more empowered to tackle even the most difficult challenges in their leadership and their lives.

If you’re curious about the ROI of coaching, many clients report receiving their highest performance ratings, bonuses, and salaries when they are actively engaged in our coaching process.

We have an expert team of certified coaches, shown below, to support you on your journey.

FOR HIGH-INTEGRITY, HIGH-IMPACT LEADERS

We might be a great fit for you identify with one or more of the following:

  • You are a Leader: you are leading a team, a department, a project, or a key initiative and are excited to partner with a coach in order to show up as effectively as possible within these roles

  • You are a CEO, a Co-Founder, or an Executive: we partner with high-integrity, high-performing executives who desire a thought partner to work through the tough stuff that goes along with these roles. Oftentimes, this is a space to talk through the things that you really can’t talk about anywhere else.

  • You are Considering a Career Transition: you are considering a career transition to a new role, a new company, or a new industry altogether.

We are typically a great fit for individuals who are ready to jump into the coaching process and are working to find the right coach.

If you are at the very early stages of considering coaching, mentorship, and/or therapy, and aren’t yet sure if you are ready to take this step, we recommend giving yourself a bit more time and space to reflect, so that you can reach out when you’re ready.

“I have grown so much in such a short amount of time. This is amazing.”
