World class athletes work with coaches to hone their skills, find blind spots and optimize their performance - so do world class leaders. I was skeptical of coaching when my organization hired a coach for me in my first CEO role. There are a lot of charlatans in this industry - people who call themselves “leadership experts” when they've never actually led anyone. I’m a lifelong leadership practitioner – learning from getting it wrong and getting it right in some of the toughest situations a leader can face. Through more than three decades of leading people, from small teams to complex organizations, I've learned leading is more art than science. As a member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF), I leverage modern coaching techniques and my multi-sector executive experience to help leaders develop - intentionally and authentically. If you're thinking about getting a coach - for yourself, your successor or the executive in charge of your organization - but need to know more about benefits, commitment and cost, let's do a virtual coffee and talk it out. No charge, no sales pitch, no hassles.
