LEADERSHIP COACHING

One of my great joys comes from working with conscious leaders who are ready to step into the next expression of their purpose so they can bring their boldest visions into form.

This journey can be difficult to undertake without support because the call of leadership is an opportunity to reclaim parts of yourself that have been set aside, to develop new levels of emotional intelligence and maturity, and transform old patterns through self-awareness and aligned action. A leader’s openness to do inner work is essential for outer transformation.

How does the leadership coaching process work?

The journey begins with an inspiring vision: for yourself as a leader, your team, your organization, and even the world. Your vision is the North Star that guides our work together.

Once your vision is established, we identify 2-3 specific and measurable goals to work toward during our coaching engagement. Often, these goals are informed by feedback from others as it is essential for leaders to understand the impact their words and actions have on others. 

Once we have an inspiring vision, clear goals, and an understanding of where you are today, we can begin the work of bringing vision into form. This is also where it gets real: old patterns arise, internal and external challenges appear, and you begin to identify behaviors that need to be transformed so that you can expand as a leader.

In the process, you will tap into the wisdom of your mind, and also the wisdom of your heart and body. You will uncover and refine the values you hold as a leader, increase your self-awareness, discover new strengths and identify blind spots. Your capacity for leadership expands as you take aligned action. This results in greater success - personally and professionally - in whatever way you define “success”.

Leadership Coaching
Snapshot

“By working with Nancy I was able to transform old patterns so that I could become a much more effective leader. My self-awareness increased exponentially and she provided me with techniques that I continue to leverage to show up as the best human possible…professionally and personally.”
— T.S., VP Infrastructure

T.S., Senior Tech Leader

Leadership Challenge: T.S. came to me for help with inspiring excellence in his team without having those folks feel like they were being criticized. While T.S.'s words were measured and encouraging when providing direction, his colleagues sensed underlying frustration and impatience, resulting in a loss of trust which negatively impacted collaboration.

The Ah-Ha Moment: Through our coaching, T.S. noticed pain in his shoulder when frustration and impatience arose. This somatic marker was an early warning sign. A sign to pay attention and take a few deep, slow breaths to calm down his nervous system and reconnect with his intention before speaking.

Meditation Experiment

Meditation and mindfulness practice help to clarify the mental field and calm our nervous system, increasing our capacity to make conscious choices rather than be held hostage by our old patterns.

The Path: Inspired by this early win, we crafted an experiment to see if regular mindfulness meditation would lead to less instances in which his impatience showed up as sharp language and an intimidating tone. T.S. discovered that when he practiced mindfulness meditation it was easier for him to manage his emotions and show up as an inspiring and encouraging leader.

The Impact: As a result of these changes, T.S. was able to rebuild trust with his team as they began to feel deep care and support which had previously been hidden under a layer of frustration. T.S. has been able to achieve much more with his team and now has one of the highest employee satisfaction scores in the larger organization.

  • “Nancy possesses that exceptionally rare combination of profound kindness and miles-high standards that makes you confident she’ll never let you take the easy way out, but you’ll feel inspired by all the hard work along the way. I’m not the only one who has found her ability to dig deeply, to encourage me to understand my vulnerabilities, and to hold myself accountable for improving significantly. I’ve recommended her to colleagues of many backgrounds and they all come back to thank me—and often to tell me that compared to any other coach they’ve worked with, Nancy is in a league of her own. I couldn’t agree more.”

    - James B., Director of Product Development

  • “Working with Nancy provides me with a great structure for identifying and working towards my goals as a leader inside my current organization and within the larger context of my career. Nancy’s coaching techniques help me to very quickly understand where and why I get stuck – after which she walks me through concrete, straightforward tools for changing my approach and attitude, and creating actions to get unstuck! She brings a good breadth of experience, an excellent sense of humor and a genuine commitment to her clients – since working with Nancy I’ve felt like there’s nothing I can’t handle as a new member of my company’s executive team. She’s great!”

    - Stacia C., Director of Technology

  • “Nancy brings to the table a wealth of knowledge on how to tackle tricky organizational and management problems. One of the things I enjoy most about working with Nancy is that she has taken the time to understand me as both a leader and an individual. She helps me tackle the problems I may be facing by reminding me of my strengths and how those can be used to address the issue. When I’m stuck, she asks sincere questions that help guide me towards what I’m trying to achieve. She’ll spend time with individuals in my team as well, to help me better understand them and build a stronger organization and better leaders. I believe that I’m a stronger leader because of my time working with Nancy.”

    - Pedro C., VP of Infrastructure Operations

  • “Over the course of our sessions, Nancy consistently anchored our time in the areas I set out to work on. She provided a lot of space for me to think critically about where I wanted to improve, both as a manager and as an individual. Nancy also armed me with a wealth of tools and resources that I will carry with me for a long time. I could not recommend Nancy more highly. I trust she will continue to lead, inspire, and coach any leader assigned to her case. Thank you for the opportunity to be coached. It was tremendously helpful."
