Cultivate Authentic Heart-Centered Leadership

What if everything you needed to be a great leader was already inside of you?

It is.

What if you let go of the desire to “prove yourself” and accepted your inherent brilliance?

You can.

What type of leader could you be if you felt free, authentic, confident, and naturally creative at work?

It’s time to find out.

Who is Life & Leadership Coaching for?

    New Managers and Directors

    Congratulations, you got the promotion! Now, the real work begins. Managing teams and individuals isn’t easy, and often organizations struggle to provide the specific, on-demand support leaders need. Especially if you’ve been a high performer in the past, your organization knows it can trust you to figure this out. Luckily, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
    Coaching provides individualized leadership development that will take your communication, people management, and organizational development skills to the next level.

    Working Moms

    Being a mom is a blessing … and it’s probably the hardest, most demanding “job” out there. Managing your household and providing for your children while trying to advance your career or grow your business can feel exhausting.
    Coaching creates space for you. Time to reflect on what’s going well and what needs to change. Time to put your thoughts, feelings, and emotions first. Time to strategize and plan your next career move or figure out what your true priorities are. Coaching will help you remember that anything is possible for you, especially because you’re a mom.

    Recovering Workaholics

    It’s easy to create a life that is centered around work, leaving little room for your self-care, hobbies, interests, and relationships. Focusing solely on work may help you achieve success temporarily, but in the long run, it’s a recipe for burnout. What does success provide if you don’t have moments in your life that allow you to fully enjoy your accomplishments and people to celebrate with?
    Coaching will help you shift your mindset, change your unhealthy habits, and implement boundaries that will bring you (not work) back to the center of your life.

    Former Perfectionists & People Pleasers

    Alright, Sis. Let’s be real. You put a lot of effort into being the perfect employee, team player, and leader. You’re so great at being who other people at work need you to be, you’ve almost forgotten who you truly are and how you desire to show up at work. It’s true - the masks have taken you far, but at what cost?
    Coaching is a safe space for you to reconnect with your authentic self, and learn how to leverage your natural gifts, strengths, and talents to demonstrate your value-add. No need to please, perfect, or perform when you are rooted in your authentic power.

After Life & Leadership Coaching, you will …

Feel confident in your authentic leadership style

There are a multitude of pathways to effective leadership, but we’re often told leadership must look a certain way. Are you trying to measure your success using someone else’s standards (and constantly finding that you’re coming up short)? In coaching, we’ll define what your standards of leadership are and how they benefit your team and organization. So that you can feel confident leading in your own unique way.

Understand what success looks and feels like for you

Bestselling Author Anna Quindlen once said, “If your success is not on your own terms, if it looks good to the world but does not feel good in your heart, it is not success at all.” Many of us fall into the trap of chasing someone else’s version of success only to reach it and realize it didn’t bring the joy, satisfaction, and fulfillment we expected it to. Taking time to be radically honest with yourself in coaching will lead you to the right path for you.

Have strategies that support your holistic well-being

Professional success shouldn’t come at the expense of your well-being. Life & Leadership Coaching is a holistic professional development program that will provide you with mindfulness, stress management, and mind-body connection techniques that you can use immediately. We’ll proactively combat burnout before it happens (or help you recover from it with grace) and create the work-life harmony you deserve.

You’ll also …

  • Know your core values, what they mean to you, and how to operationalize them in your job and career

  • Have a deep understanding of your strengths and how to leverage them at work

  • See yourself as someone who does great work and knows that your value and worth don’t lie within said work

  • Have implemented thoughtful and clear boundaries that protect your energy and peace

  • Take up more space at work and in your personal life

  • Know how to lead with integrity in the midst of a challenging work environment

Finally, a Leadership Development opportunity that supports you holistically.

What you can expect:

  • In your free connection call you’ll have an opportunity to:

    • Learn more about Life & Leadership Coaching and what a coaching partnership entails

    • Share what interests you in coaching (i.e., what goals are you hoping to achieve, what challenges are you ready to overcome, etc.)

    • Ask any questions about how coaching can meet your individual needs

    Choosing to embark upon a coaching journey takes courage, and you deserve to be absolutely sure that coaching is the right next step for you.

    There’s no pressure to say yes to coaching during or after the connection call. It is simply an opportunity for you to learn more and see if this feels right for you.

    You can schedule the call at your convenience here.

  • During your 90-minute introductory session, we’ll dive deep into your life and career. You’ll receive tools and exercises before the session that will help you reflect on where you are and start exploring where you’d like to be at the end of our coaching partnership. We’ll set intentions for our partnership, talk about what you need from me to help you succeed, and discuss any other expectations or hopes you have for coaching.

  • Your 1:1 coaching sessions will begin with a short meditative or somatic practice to help you drop into the present moment, set your intention for the session, and give yourself full permission to focus on your desires and goals. Your coaching sessions might be one of the few times in your daily life when you feel comfortable putting yourself first. Make the most of your coaching time by focusing on being present, practicing radical self-honesty, and allowing yourself to show up even when you don’t feel “ready” or “prepared” for a session.

    Coaching helps you create internal clarity and confidence. I will never tell you what to do. Instead, I’ll invite you to explore and access your intuition, subconscious, and higher/future self so that you can determine what’s best for you.

    You can expect to leave each session with new insights about yourself, your desires, and your future. In between each session, you’ll take action to operationalize these insights.

  • A personalized strengths assessment and debrief (using CliftonStrengths or MBTI) is included in every Life & Leadership Coaching Package! This 90-minute session provides time for us to dive deep into your personality and preferences that inform how you work best.

    You may have done a strengths assessment as a member of a team or unit previously, but there likely wasn’t enough space in the debrief to focus solely on you.

    This time you will be the center of attention as I not only share your results but take time to weave in insights from previous coaching sessions through the lens of your top strengths or personality type.

  • In between sessions, you’ll determine what specific actions you’ll take to move toward your goals. Your actions could be anything from finally making time for a hobby or interest you’ve been longing to try to setting your intentions for a heartfelt conversation you’ll have with your boss, friend, or spouse.

    As you take action between each session, you’ll see yourself achieving your goals and changing your life step by step. Progress will feel slow and gradual at times, and instant at other times. Either way, you’ll be moving forward in areas where you previously felt stuck and uninspired.

  • At the conclusion of our coaching partnership, we’ll use our last session together to reflect on your progress, outcomes, and the shifts you experienced during coaching.

    You’ll set intentions for the next chapter of your life and career and you’ll feel empowered to bring said intentions to life.

    If you feel strongly that another round of coaching would be beneficial, you may start the program over again.

    It’s also possible to sign-up for one-off “check-in” sessions as you need them.
