FAQ
Describe your coaching style.

The client’s agenda always comes first and I use a mentor/coach combination style to ask unique questions that help to move the client forward in leaps and bounds.

How do you measure success with a client?

By hearing from the client themselves and how they felt about achieving their goals and overcoming their challenges.

How do you support clients that don’t have a clear idea of what they want to do?

I ask questions helping them to bring clarity to their goals.

What are the methodologies and tools you incorporate into working with your leadership clients? Include any assessments you are certified to use.

I use a Leadership Scorecard for self-evaluation and a Relationship Map to build new relationships. An Urgency/Important grids to prioritize. I role play as often as possible to introduce real-life situations so the client can practice their leadership skills.
