What Coaching With Me Looks Like
We start with what you want and where things stand today. From there, our sessions are a working space. I’ll bring tools from psychology and leadership development, ask questions that make you think, and expect real effort between sessions. When it’s useful, we can add leadership assessments or 360-degree feedback, available for an additional fee, so we’re working from a clear picture rather than assumptions.
My approach draws on the evidence-based leadership models in psychology — transformational, authentic, servant, and situational leadership, along with the research on emotional intelligence. If my own journey taught me one thing, it’s that no single model fits everyone. I’ve taken the best of what these approaches offer, and I tailor the work to the person in front of me. My goal is not to hand you a template. It’s to help you become an enhanced version of yourself: the leader you want to be, not the leader others think you should be.
Because I practice as both a psychologist and a coach, I pay attention to which one a client needs. Coaching is built for the present and the future — goals, performance, growth. Therapy goes deeper, into healing and the roots of what keeps getting in the way. Sometimes a coaching question turns out to have deeper roots, and if I sense that, I’ll say so. Then we’ll decide together whether therapy is the better fit and what the switch would look like, whether that’s with me or with a therapist better matched to your needs. You won’t have to figure that out alone.
