EXECUTIVE COACHING ~ LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT - EXECUTIVE PRESENCE ~ PERSONAL BRANDING ~ CHANGE MANAGEMENT ~ TEAM PERFORMANCE ~ & BEYOND!
As an Executive Coach & Certified Employee Performance Coach, I get to help my clients RESCRIPT their stories and enhance their professional performance, leadership skills, and overall effectiveness in their roles. I've worked with thousands of executives to guide them in reaching their full potential and achieving their career goals! When considering hiring an executive coach, we usually have a lot of questions. Let's see if we can answer these questions for you to help you determine if executive coaching is a good fit for you!
What is an Executive Coach?
As an executive coach, I play a crucial role in supporting and empowering individuals in leadership positions. Through personalized one-on-one coaching sessions, I work closely with clients to identify their strengths and areas for improvement.
I guide executives in setting clear and attainable goals, both for themselves and their teams. By fostering self-awareness, I enable them to understand their leadership style, communication patterns, and decision-making processes. This self-awareness forms the foundation for personal growth and continuous development.
Throughout the coaching journey, I provide constructive feedback, challenge limiting beliefs, and encourage experimentation with new approaches and strategies. As an executive coach, I act as a confidential sounding board, allowing executives to openly explore challenges and concerns they may not feel comfortable discussing with others in their organization.
Additionally, I may use various assessment tools and techniques to gain insights into their leadership capabilities and identify areas that need further attention. These insights help shape the coaching process and ensure it remains tailored to the specific needs of the individual executive.
Ultimately, as an executive coach, I aim to create a safe and supportive environment where executives can thrive, achieve their goals, and become more effective leaders, positively impacting their organizations and teams.
Because self-talk is at the core of my RESCRIPT Framework, as we work on your specific goals, we simultaneously work on helping you eliminate negative self-talk patterns and develop a positive internal dialogue. By learning and maintaining empowering self-talk strategies, you gain the most important fuel for achieving what you desire.

What Types of Things Do You Help Executives Work on as an Executive Coach?
As an executive coach, here are some specific areas where I assist professionals and leaders:
- Leadership Development: One of the primary focuses of my coaching is to help professionals become effective leaders. As an executive coach, I provide insights into different leadership styles and help them identify their strengths and areas for improvement. Through personalized coaching sessions, we work on enhancing their leadership skills, communication, decision-making, and emotional intelligence.

I provide tools and techniques for effective communication, active listening, and managing difficult conversations.

How Does Your Executive Coaching Process Work?
Can You Share More About Your RESCRIPT Framework?
As a life and career coach, I've developed my own framework for helping my clients quiet negative self talk and become their own best advocates.
We have two very different mental narrators who talk to us in our minds—the Inner Antagonist and the Inner Advocate.
Your Inner Antagonist is your story’s inner opposing force. It tells you that you have disorder, conflict, weaknesses, and deficits within and around you, and that you do not have what it takes to resolve any of it. Your Inner Antagonist can also lead you to act in ways that are not aligned with your values and ultimate desires.
Your Inner Advocate has your back. It’s your inner ally, supporter, encourager, and collaborative problem solver. It tells you that you’re strong and capable. It reminds you of all the resources you have within and around you. It reminds you of the wisdom you’ve gained from life experience. It tells you that you can overcome anything. To amplify our Inner Advocate, we must RESCRIPT:
If you'd like to read a bit more about my RESCRIPT Framework, I wrote this Huffington Post article about it: 8 Practices to Re-Script Your Self-Story.
- Step 1 - ACQUAINT: We schedule a FREE 20-minute Discovery Session to get acquainted, discuss your executive coaching needs, and answer any questions you may have.
- Step 2 - ASSESS: We'll assess your level of satisfaction with each area of your life, as well as evaluate your unique self-talk patterns.
- Step 3 - AIM: We'll have an in-depth discussion of your assessment results and begin setting specific short- and long-term goals based on your assessments and what we discover during our discussion so we know what destinations we are aiming for.
- Step 4 - ACTION: We'll jump right in with "In-Between Session Actions" (AKA - homework ;-) customized to your needs to begin moving you into action toward your executive coaching goals.
- Step 5 - ACHIEVE, ADDRESS, & APPRECIATE: We'll focus our sessions on reviewing your goal achievement progress, discussing and addressing any negative self-talk that is getting in your way, positively tackling any new challenges and opportunities that arise, and CELEBRATING AND APPRECIATING YOUR SUCCESSES - the small ones along the way and big ones following your hard work!
