Executive Coaching:  I help executives, professionals, creators, and entrepreneurs be more effective.

Leadership has been described as a skill and as an art.  It is also a practice.  Even George Washington kept working at being a better leader.  Experienced leaders may have a wellspring of experience on which to draw, and just need a little refresher or reminder of what they already know they need to do.  For anyone, whether a senior exec, middle manager, or project leader, leadership challenges show up in new and nuanced ways, often where there is no direct authority. Leading with empathy, deploying soft skills, rethinking strategy, are all areas where coaching can help clarify the path forward.

Many professionals feel successful but unfulfilled, overwhelmed, struggling for work-life balance, or wondering where to find the time to get things done. Or they might need a new challenge to regain their enthusiasm for their work. Creators and makers get stuck sometimes and need to reconnect with their inspiration and flow.  Entrepreneurs need to grow their businesses while facing a wide array of challenges.  Coaching can help you sort through the clutter and find your focus.

Privacy Professional Coaching: I help privacy professionals be effective privacy leaders. 

Many clients come to me interested in some sort of change.  Some experience a sense of burnout or languishing, and we explore the source of that feeling and develop a strategy for growth. Some are quite motivated and benefit from a thinking partner as they navigate their transition or reinvention.  But there is a subset who itch for change and want to talk about that change but lack the tools or “task relevant maturity” to effectuate it.  Some of those people are not ready for the big change but want to position themselves so they can be.

I help privacy pros, execs, lawyers, and teams develop the skills and mindsets they need to grow. 

Let’s talk about how we’ll identify your unique strengths, strengthen the areas where you need to get better, think big about the possibilities, and develop a clear plan to get there.  Let’s find the version of you that can grow anywhere.  Let’s create The Transformable You™.

We’ll develop a strategy to create The Transformable You™

In phase one, we’ll get clear on where you are – finding the True You.

In phase two, we’ll get clear on the outcome you want, or where you want to go – finding your True Direction.

Phase three connects the two, with how you will effectuate the change – we find your True Path Forward. 

Common issues that come up include:

— Leaders looking for ways to help their teams grow in turbulent times.

— Developing the value proposition for your team to better collaborate with leaders and stakeholders.

— Techniques for persuading, selling, influencing without authority.

— Developing strategic plans for privacy teams, business groups, etc.

— People struggling with issues of confidence or other mindsets that are holding them back.

— Privacy pros or their teams coping with feelings of languishing or burnout.  There are many potential causes. We explore causes and develop strategies for growth.

— Privacy pros who want to get to the next level of vertical growth.

— Privacy pros who face new leadership challenges or have never led teams before.

— Public speaking, facilitation, presentation skills, networking skills.

— People are looking for privacy jobs. We develop a career strategy and practical guidance for the job hunt, develop networking strategies, rehearse interview questions, and help you grow into a stronger candidate.
