Coaching Philosophy
The ongoing discovery and exploration of personal purpose and vision is your biggest lever in leadership development. This is your greatest source of power because it is what will keep you going even in the face of risks and uncertainty. Without a compelling vision and purpose, it is too tempting to play it safe, but there is no safe way to be a great leader.
Leadership development is deeply personal and requires a fundamental shift of mind and consciousness. My intention is that the changes clients make during the time we work together come not only from learning some valuable skills but also from growing into a whole new way of being and seeing themselves at work.
