For Executives
Coaching and Leadership development for Executives
I collaborate with executives. We clarify issues, some internal, others external. I support their ongoing thoughtful self-exploration. This leads to behavior change and growth of their skills and talents in order to maximize leadership impact and personal satisfaction. Stress reduction is almost always a factor in the work. For the executive and leader, I am a thoughtful, wise listener, offering well-delivered, straightforward feedback, a confidante, witness, and accountability partner.
Have you ever thought:
- I’m stuck. It’s hard to admit but I need to change certain behaviors and habits.
- I procrastinate; always need to be right; and I’m afraid to take risks, to stretch myself and my team.
- People tell me that I need to relax – be authentic – be straight with them. I thought I was!
- I have problems communicating.
- How can I stop being so emotionally reactive or at least channel it better?
- I avoid conflict. How can I learn to work with it?
- I want a better career path in my specialty area.
- I’m unhappy in my job, I need a better fit for me.
I am the Director of a busy not-for-profit social service agency, and I reached out to Andrea after my husband suffered a serious medical event. Between a very demanding job, many professional commitments and the tasks that I needed to attend to in order to support my husband's recovery, I felt completely overwhelmed and in need of support and focus. I am generally a very organized and diligent professional who has extremely high standards for my work. Andrea has a very thoughtful, focused, stepwise approach to creating a path forward. She is a deep listener and a sensitive and attentive thought-partner. She did a marvelous job helping me to clear my thoughts, identify priorities and concrete steps to achieve them and to track my progress week by week. I am very grateful to her for her support at a time when I truly needed it. Presently, I feel far more comfortable, in control and optimistic that I can continue my successful path forward.
