1:1 Coaching
for Executives, Emerging leaders & Leaders in transition
Are you a leader who needs a trusted coach in your corner to help you figure out where you’re headed, what you need to get there, and how to ensure you don’t feel empty once you achieve your goals? Are you a high performer who’s somehow stuck?
During 1:1 Executive Coaching, I work with articulate and self-aware professionals who are ready to put in the work to grow and reach new levels of success.
For Executives
Senior leaders facing nuanced challenges in complex environments.
Are you a leader looking for a trusted coach in your corner to help you get the results you want? I offer a high value partnership to deepen your awareness and support you in getting from where you are now to where you want to be.
You’re self-aware and accomplished. Still, maybe you see an aspect of your performance to improve. Or you feel something’s missing in how you’re showing up at work.
With me as your confidential partner, you can shed any façade at the door. I believe in you and your power to not only deal with the external forces at play but make the most of your own strengths and gifts. Whatever the barriers or blindspots, you can shift your perspective, learn new habits, and thrive in life and work.

For Emerging Leaders
Who are you as a leader? Figuring this out is tricky and will set you up for a lifetime of success.
Are you a newer leader who’s taking on increased responsibilities and a bigger team? It’s exciting… and maybe a bit disorienting. You have to step up fast and deliver strong results, all while assimilating change.
With me, you’ll have a safe place where you can identify your personal leadership style, intentionally develop skills for your long-term success, and troubleshoot problems that come up in your new role. Your future self will thank you.

For Leaders in Transition
Whatever the next phase of your journey looks like, having a trusted guide will make it easier.
If you’re a successful leader facing a possible transition, that can feel more daunting than everything that brought you here. Where do you even begin to figure out what you really want in your next phase of life?
Having a couple of in-depth coaching conversations and doing some “career vision” exercises with me will give you clarity and focus. The outcome you can achieve is feeling empowered to know what you want from your next career phase or life chapter, and having an actionable plan to get there.
Coaching Topics
Figuring out your career vision – what do you really want to do now?
Seeking to switch functions or industry, how to tell your transferable story
How to market yourself in a challenging virtual or competitive environment
Building and keeping your confidence in a time of change
After success, what’s next for identity and meaning?
Staying resilient and mentally fit
Choosing to dig deep and invest in your personal and professional growth isn’t easy.
But you didn’t get where you are by choosing easy, did you? Here’s what my best clients bring to the table:
Commitment
To putting in the time and focus; to yourself; to the homework I’ll give you. I promise, every hour you spend investing in yourself will reap dividends in the future.
Curiosity
The process of personal growth is a treasure hunt. Be open to learning about yourself and what you’re capable of, even if you couldn’t have predicted the results.
Care
In my coaching, we leave the self-critique at the door. The Grace aspect of Grit & Grace coaching is to learn kindness for yourself as you explore your potential.
FULL SELF
Do you want to achieve your very best career wins and personal satisfaction in life? Then show up honestly, believe you’re capable of transformation, and together we will get you where you want to go.
Success stories
A Leader’s Promotion
A new Director promoted to much greater responsibility came to me feeling overwhelmed. Together, we worked through how he approached decision making, how to use his strengths in managing the team, and how he could open his aperture on his leadership presence.
Now he is more confident in both his strategic skills and his ability to inspire the larger team. He is more present in meetings, communicates more effectively with his VP, and feels less stress on the job and with his family.
SUCCESS STORIES
The Serial CEO‘s “What’s Next” Moment
After a series of successful ventures, this executive was flummoxed by how to answer, “what is retirement for me?!” Through our conversation, we explored her reflections on her sense of identity. We also used design thinking exercises to scope out alternative “odyssey plans” for her personal journey. As a result, she experienced not just clarity, but excitement about the next phase of her life.
Success stories
New Strategies for a Creative Leader
This C-suite creative leader faced increasing discomfort around his relationships at work, and felt he was losing influence and the confidence of the management team.
We worked on strategies to sharpen his awareness about his style of communication, ways to clarify priorities and manage staff needs and the management team’s expectations. He grew his own listening and empathy skills and reports now having more open and productive conversations with the management team.
How it Works
You’re not an average executive, and you deserve a customized coaching approach. Given how busy you probably are, I like to keep the onboarding process simple.
Step 1
Hop on a Discovery Call
We will have a discovery call where I ask you questions about your goals and needs and learn a bit about what makes you tick. This is a mutual exploration: even if we aren’t the right fit for each other, the questions I ask will add value to your life.
Step 2
Create a Custom Coaching Plan
If you want to move forward with me, I will develop a custom proposal including a draft coaching plan, expected outcomes, time commitment, and fees. If you like it, we’ll make it official and schedule our first coaching session!
Step 3
See you through your action plan together
Next, we dig in together to get below the surface and begin our coaching engagement. We will see through your custom action plan and I’ll support you as you achieve your desired outcomes, and learn a lot about yourself in the process.
