How I Work

It starts with a complimentary conversation to lay the groundwork, identify objectives of the engagement, and mutually discern if there’s a good ‘fit’ and whether I be of value to you and your company.

If we decide to move forward, most initial coaching client engagements are six to twelve months, focused on one-on-one advisory and/or coaching, anywhere from once a week to twice a month and 60-90 minutes each (and of course I’m always available via technology between scheduled sessions as things come up - I am an available resource).

Often the organization sponsors the work and the executive is the client. Or a business owner or entrepreneur is the client.

This structure creates the trust and discretion required for honest dialogue, thoughtful challenge, sustained leadership development, and better decision making.

Success Factors

  1. Fit. Personalities need to gel. If the fit is not good, we’ll both know and I am happy to recommend others to you.

  2. Trust. This is earned over time of course, but from the first meeting, confidentiality is paramount. You must be willing to be honest. Soon you will come to view me as a safe confidant. If not, I will help you find someone else.

  3. Willingness to learn and be challenged. Most of us are more close minded than we realize in areas where we would do well to be more open minded. If you’re not stretched, you will eventually pull something.

  4. Commitment. This is necessary for success in any endeavor. I will give you my 100%. A client’s benefit correlates to their level of commitment to the process.
