Frequently Asked Questions
What is leadership coaching?
Leadership coaching is a confidential partnership designed to help you think more clearly, uncover blind spots, challenge assumptions, and take intentional action.
I’m not there to give you a list of answers.
I’m there to help you find better ones.
Who do you work with?
I work with emerging, newly promoted, experienced, and senior leaders, as well as organizations and leadership teams investing in their people and culture.
I’m already a successful leader. Why would I need a coach?
Success doesn’t eliminate blind spots.
In fact, the behaviors and approaches that helped you become successful can sometimes become the things that limit you at your next level.
Coaching creates space to examine those patterns honestly and intentionally.
I don’t have a specific problem. Can coaching still help?
Absolutely.
Sometimes you simply know something needs to change before you can clearly articulate what it is.
That’s often where the most valuable coaching begins.
How is coaching different from consulting, mentoring, or training?
Consultants typically provide expertise and recommendations.
Mentors share experience and advice.
Trainers teach skills.
Coaching helps you examine your thinking, uncover what you may not be seeing, and take ownership of the changes you want to make.
Do you work with organizations?
Yes.
I partner with organizations on leadership development, individual coaching, team development, culture, communication, engagement, and leadership transitions.
Engagements are customized based on the organization’s goals and needs.
What can I expect from working with you?
Expect thoughtful questions, honest reflection, challenge, curiosity, accountability, and practical action.
You should leave conversations with greater clarity and a better understanding of what you want to do differently.
How long does coaching take?
Most individual coaching engagements run between three and six months.
Organizational engagements vary depending on the goals, number of participants, and scope of the work.
What if I’ve never worked with a coach before?
No problem.
You don’t need to know how coaching works before we begin.
We’ll start with a conversation and determine together whether coaching is the right fit.
How do we get started?
We start with a conversation.
No pressure. No sales pitch.
Just an honest discussion about where you are, where you want to go, and whether I can help.
