CLOSING THE GAP FROM WHERE YOU ARE TO WHERE YOU WANT TO BE.

you know the phrase “she’s a born leader” ?

we don’t believe that.

While people may be born with certain personality traits, leaders aren’t born, they are made. They’re developed through thoughtfulness, intention, experience and perspective.

We partner with clients - be they executives, entrepreneurs, emerging leaders or seasoned professionals - to grow, expand and evolve.

We support you completely as you shift into new behaviors and understand how mindset can positively impact the way you think about your business and career journey.

Together we navigate new ways of thinking, working and being.

Through years of experience with leaders at varying points in their careers, we’ve witnessed how often our fears and internal dialogue limit the growth we crave.

The greatest barrier to our achievements is a lack of time spent fully developing our own capacity. We receive opportunities and abilities only when we’re ready for them, and coaching is the fastest way to embrace that personal empowerment to reach the next level.

This work is designed to connect you with your purpose, understand what’s holding you back and unlock your greatest potential to step into a wildly satisfying life as a highly effective, multi-dimensional leader.

transition coaching

change is inevitable. let’s make the most of it.

stepping into a new role at work

Change can be a source of great inspiration and great anxiety. Transitions can generate thoughts and behaviors that challenge even the most experienced leader.

You just stepped into your “dream role” or an important new assignment for a highly visible project. How do you capitalize on the opportunity while managing unpredictable expectations?

embracing a new role at home

Highly accomplished women who joyously embrace the new role of motherhood often face an emotionally rocky road. Priorities don’t shift – they expand. The stories you tell yourself at this time can be difficult to deal with. How are your new and former identities meshing?

New fathers have the same challenges. How does parenting intertwine with the routine you’re used to? What does it mean to be a supportive partner while meeting the professional demands you’ve been meeting for years? How do you balance these expanded priorities, and what needs to shift?

saying goodbye to the workFORCE

Twenty years with the same company and suddenly you no longer start your day with that place and those people. What does this mean for how you see yourself?

Retirement is supposed to be a wonderful, coveted time in life, but when it’s happening to you, it can feel very different. What will this new phase of life mean for you and how do you want that to feel?

whatever transition you’re facing or questions you’re contemplating, we’ll work together to find the answers that work for you.

EMPOWERING FEMALE LEADERS

TO BE TRULY EMPOWERED, WE MUST FIRST UNDERSTAND what we want and what’s in the way.

in the real world

Women face a multitude of complexities as they strive to navigate their careers, juggle their family lives, and accomplish their definition of “success”.

Many women, even those who have reached the ranks of senior leadership, are not aware of the limiting assumptions and habits they carry with them. These behaviors have a huge impact on their consideration for promotions, perception as leaders and impact on their businesses.

Coaching is the key to understanding what is holding you back from getting to where you want to be. By getting fully comfortable with what you really want, we can work together to recognize the behaviors that are holding you back. We will shift from old, self-limiting beliefs and practices into empowering, purposeful, impactful new behaviors and thought processes. You will become the driver on your road to success.
