My approach to Executive Coaching is based on the Ontological Model which distinguishes organizational effectiveness as being driven by the quality of the relationships and conversations in an organization.
My executive coaching is aimed at developing individuals’ excellence in leadership, communication, emotional management, interpersonal relationships and personal well-being. When a talented individual becomes a more effective team contributor, it makes a positive difference in the organization’s performance. When a manager learns to better understand, develop and communicate with other people, the results can be powerful for the organization and for its members.
I work with individuals and teams within organizations to improve communication, relationships, productivity and time management, executive presence, leadership effectiveness, conflict management and cooperation around projects. Coaching can be done for specific performance-related issues and for overall executive performance and effectiveness.
I have a special expertise in coaching high-potential professional women improve their self-expression, executive presence, ability to manage conflict and maintain work/family balance. I also conduct customized workshop sessions to meet the specific needs and challenges of a specific organization or team.
I offer team and Executive Coaching in the following formats:
- on premise at client workplace
- at my Tysons Corner office (Virginia)
- over the phone (often the most convenient method for one-on-on coaching with busy executives)
- a combination of the above
Contact me to discuss one-on-one executive coaching or team workshop fees.
