Your Challenge
You are crushing it. You've built and grown your business unit faster and more successfully than you ever imagined. Some days you think, "Wow, did I really get us this far?" But at the same time, you have been thinking a lot lately - what got you to this point, is likely not going to get you or your company to the next level.
You know you need help to get to the next level. But do you need an advisor or consultant to help you figure out your next best strategic moves? Or maybe it's time to invest in an executive coach that can push you and your leadership skills to the next level? Some days, you simply want a shoulder to lean on - a partner in crime (let's be honest, it can be lonely in the top spot!)
The Good News
You can have it all.
A few years ago, I had this vision of being a "coach-sultant." It wasn't something I read about in books or online. It was something in my heart. That is, I knew that it was lonely being an executive. I also knew I had the background, skill set, and passion to give leaders something extraordinary - both powerful traditional coaching, combined with practical, powerful business advice and consulting.
What you need is a leadership "partner-in-crime." Someone who can help you work through your business and personal leadership goals all at the same time, which will in turn catapult the success of your company.
You need someone by your side that will help you raise the vibrational frequency of your company by working with you to make small adjustments that propels everyone forward - your team, your customers, and your investors.
How Do I Know Anything About Anything?
I was you. Well, not you exactly you of course. In 2016 I was tapped to be the CEO of a company that had approx. 1,000 employees, $2bn assets under management, and bringing in revenue well in the 9-digits.
But the company was struggling. Big time. Coming off of several years of operational issues and flat year-over-year earnings, many people were questioning the company and its future.
In just under three years leading the company, I led a massive turnaround, tripling earnings over those three years (yes, 300% growth!) At the same time, and not coincidentally, our employee engagement scores across all indices skyrocketed.
The Playbook
There is no cookie cutter playbook. But the GREAT news is that there is a secret sauce...authenticity. Yep, it's so simple that some people may just "x" right out of here.
But for those of you that stayed, I am dead-serious when I tell you that creating more of who you are - exploiting your unique, authentic self - will make you zoom past so many other leaders out there.
Why? Because people - employees, customers, and yes, investors too - are yearning for a leader that is real, humble, charismatic, and most importantly, that can stick out from the pack. People are also looking for the same in the companies they buy from. We'll work on both.
I am here to make sure you and your company sticks out from the pack.
Why Me?
There are thousands of "Executive Coaches" out there. They all likely have more formal coaching training or HR experience. But they don't have my unique superpower - actual experience leading a company that probably looks a lot like yours (+ they also likely don't have a straight-shooting, authentic, no-BS approach.)
Said another way, if you're looking for a coach that will take a methodical approach to your coaching, I'm just not your person. But if you're looking for someone that will give you real, practical, and super simple adjustments that will make you the positive talk of water coolers everywhere, then I cannot wait to work with you.
How Does Coach-sulting Work?
Generally we meet for 90-minute calls every two weeks. This allows us to have a solid amount of time to slow down, talk, think, pause and experience breakthroughs. In between our formal sessions, I am available via email and text anytime. Often times, I also might send you a podcast, article or movie that I recommend based on our discussions.
If there is a need for additional support - e.g. attending client meetings or calls, etc. - I'll work with you to develop a custom arrangement to ensure I fully meet your needs.
What I Ask Of You
Our time together can - and likely will be - transformational. In order to reach our highest selves, I ask the following from you:
Bring an open mind. Our sessions will be most effective if you are willing to let your mind wander, semi-aimlessly, in a way you likely don’t let it in your everyday life.
Be vulnerable. I know, this can be a tough one. This doesn’t mean you have to break down in tears. This simply means that the more willing you are to open up about things that may feel a bit uncomfortable, the further you will go. As Brene Brown once said, “Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage.”
Use me. I'm here to be your sidekick, sounding board and resource in any way you need it most. No reach-out or question is out-of-bounds.
Challenge and inspire me…too. Inspiration is a circular reference. I don’t know everything. I may push you to think in a way that ultimately isn’t right for you. Or you may have heard and learned great things that I haven’t yet grasped
