What Is Leadership Coaching?
Leadership coaching is a confidential, structured partnership between a leader and a coach. It creates space to think out loud, examine what is happening beneath the surface, see what can be difficult to see alone, and decide how to move forward. The coach brings questions, perspective, and honest challenge. The leader brings the real material and makes the calls.
How Do Sessions Flow?
Your engagement includes three confidential, one-hour Zoom sessions. Please schedule all three now, ideally three to four weeks apart. Each conversation begins with the leadership situation most important to you and concludes with a clear action or experiment to carry forward. The next session begins with what you learned.
