The best leaders have coaches.
You deserve one too.

 

Even the most accomplished people, who have achieved much success in their lives, can benefit from individualized attention.

In fact, the more senior you become in your profession, the harder it can be to get support with challenging situations and have a confidential place to develop new skills.

Here are some reasons you may consider coaching:

  • You want to focus on your communication style to improve how you build and sustain professional relationships.

  • You’re a senior executive or business owner looking for a confidential sounding board.

  • You want to make a significant change, but struggle with taking the leap or implementing your vision.

  • You feel burnt-out, overwhelmed, or have decreased motivation at work. 

  • You’re unsure of how to implement feedback that is critical to your success or professional advancement.

As your coach, I will give you a safe sounding board, offer a new perspective, give direct feedback, and provide accountability.

Together we will prioritize your goals and create momentum to close the gap between where you are and where you want to be.

What is Professional Coaching?

Coaching is an interactive partnership where we mobilize your inherent strengths and uncover your growth edges.

Given that you work in a demanding role, you may not have time to focus on your own professional development. The responsibilities of day-to-day functioning can completely consume your attention. Having a coach means there is someone completely focused on your goals and is with you every step of the way.

Not all coaches are created equal.

Few have the breadth of professional knowledge that I can bring to the table. 

 As a licensed therapist, I have a unique understanding of the psychological underpinnings that impact motivation, procrastination, conflict avoidance, competition, fear, performance anxiety, and stages of change. 

 As a certified group psychotherapist, I have specialized knowledge about group dynamics and how they play out at work and in relationships. 

 As a professionally trained coach, I have the knowledge, experience, and skills to get you where you want to be.

Individual Coaching

Together, we will cut through the noise to identify what is truly important to you and map out a path to get you there.

My job as your coach is to provide unbiased feedback, skill development, and support for you to accomplish your goals. During our sessions, we will work to understand where you get blocked and how to create movement.  Insight and knowledge alone do not create change so we will also be practicing new skills together. You will leave each of our sessions with an action plan that creates momentum and accountability. 

 
 

Coaching Workshops for Organizations

Would your employees benefit from learning how to:

  • Listen more actively?

  • Discern non-verbal communication?

  • Understand underlying emotions that drive decision-making?

  • Optimize group dynamics?

  • Upgrade their ability to give/receive feedback?

  • Feel more confident with relationship building, conflict management, and assertiveness?

My coaching specialization is custom-tailoring EQ Workshops for organizations. 

“EQ” refers to Emotional Intelligence ​which is the ability to recognize, understand, and manage your own emotions, as well as perceive and decode the emotions of others, and then use this information to guide behavior.

EQ Workshops can help your team :

  • Identify EQ strengths and areas of growth

  • Learn specific EQ strategies personalized for your industry 

  • Practice EQ skills through experiential exercises 

FAQs About Coaching

  • Coaching is for success-oriented individuals who are motivated to optimize their personal or professional lives.  They want a trained professional to listen without bias, give direct feedback, offer clarity about areas for growth, help with skill development, and provide accountability.

  • 1:1 coaching is most often done virtually via Zoom.  Because there are no geographic licensing restrictions for coaching, it doesn’t matter where you are located.  For EQ Coaching workshops, I can come to your organization or we can meet in person at my office in Beverly, Massachusetts.  I offer a free introductory coaching call to learn about your goals and discuss how we’d work together. In our first session, we will identify your priorities and create a plan to achieve your desired outcomes.

  • I meet with clients anywhere from 50 minutes to two-hour sessions.  Sessions can be scheduled weekly, bi-monthly, or monthly as your needs and schedule determine. 

  • The duration of the coaching relationship varies depending on your type of goal, your motivation, and the frequency of our sessions.  We will create a customized plan and a timeline that works best for your needs, resources, and schedule.

  • It can be helpful to conceptualize your outcomes in two ways: external deliverables and internal changes.  External deliverables could include the achievement of a specific goal established at the beginning of coaching.  Internal shifts might be: increased productivity, enhanced leadership skills, reduced stress, improved communication skills, increased self-awareness, better time management, improved relationships, more flexibility with change, increased confidence, or feeling more satisfied with your life.

  • My coaching specialty is working with individuals and teams who want to improve their social-emotional intelligence and/or implement feedback.  This often includes increasing self-awareness, enhancing interpersonal communication, strengthening relationships, optimizing group dynamics, or working through procrastination.

    I also have a particular interest and extensive experience in working with folks in the helping professions, such as social workers, counselors, psychologists, and psychiatrists.  I coach clinicians with career decision-making, professional identity, burnout avoidance, private practice development, and relocating/retiring their practices.

  • Payment for coaching is due at the time of service.  Contact me for details regarding fees for individual coaching or pricing for team coaching/EQ workshops.
