Transformational Coaching

“

Before we started on this journey, my department was a mess. Now, I feel like I have a team behind me. Who would have thought that my whole department would change because I changed.

Executive and Leadership Coaching

What’s Essential to be a 21st Century Leader?

Neither expertise nor working harder are enough to guarantee success in today’s constantly changing world. Success requires leading through both good and challenging times to articulate a compelling future, inspire others, coach and develop people so they thrive in their positions, adapt quickly to change, and create strategies that not only bring value to your stakeholders but shift the way you do business by creating a new business paradigm.

With Executive and Leadership Coaching, my goal for you is not just performance excellence where you thrive in your career, it’s your individual development—possessing the wisdom to know what needs to be done, and doing it exceptionally well, with the compassion that supports all involved. By doing this, you are leaving a legacy that people will remember because of who you are and how you lived your life.

Susan’s Approach to Coaching

The Coaching Process Focuses:

On the development of the client so they become:

1. SELF-CORRECTING—they notice their own limiting patterns that don’t support them.
2. SELF-GENERATING—they gain insight to behaviors and actions that will better support their situation and help them stay on course for the long term.

These two elements lead to their long-term excellence performance* where they embody the behavior and their way of being transforms.

* Long Term Excellence Performance: the desired result is not only attained in a way that supports all involved but the client walks away with the insight and wisdom to handle similar issues in the future.

The Coaching Process Includes:

Looking beyond your situation to discover what is causing the issue.
Providing insight so you see a new way of taking action.
Designing practices to remove obstacles and create new habits and competencies, so your way of being transforms for the long term.
Providing constant insight and support to assist as you go through breakdowns and breakthroughs.
Listening deeply so you have a safe place to open up fully and can move forward.

The Results Gained Are:

You gain insight and discover new ways to take action and engage in situations with others.
You develop new habits that replace old ones so you embody powerful new behaviors.
Your way of being changes so you automatically take better actions to achieve your goals.
You develop the capacity to engage and handle more effectively the demands of others.
You become a more effective leader, living the values you want to see in yourself and others.
With commitment, your performance improves significantly in a designated timeframe.
You see the performance and business impact, thus quantifying the value of coaching.
