Change can be stressful – even changes you asked for. A promotion or new job, although welcome, immediately throws you back into learning mode. You move from total mastery and competence, into unknown territory – Hero to Zero. And to add to the challenge, there is usually no one in the workplace available that you can trust with any hint of weakness or “not knowing”.

 In the coaching relationship, we create a safe place to tell the truth about what is working and what is not. I will provide you will resources, models, suggestions, and advice – supporting your speedy movement to new mastery.

Whether you are a full-time manager/leader or you still have responsibilities as an individual contributor, the success of the team is the key factor for achievement of your goals. Together we will identify the gaps in your leadership know-how and create strategies for getting the best from your team. Let me coach you to coach others.

It is a nearly impossible task - to achieve more productivity with fewer resources, especially fewer people. With a flatter matrix-organization there is a need to motivate and influence people who may not even report to you. Learn how to listen for individual “hot buttons”. Ask a different kind of question that pulls each person’s best into the game. “Work smarter, not harder” - What does that mean in your situation? As you experience being coached and working from this new perspective, you will learn to increase productivity of your team by using the same coaching skills and mindset.

How long can you do it before burning out?  Is it really a requirement, or an unfocused perception that is keeping you locked into an impossible work schedule?

It’s a “catch-22” that if you manage to do the work of 2-3 people, others will continue to expect you to do that load of work.  But what is the cost in terms of quality, accuracy, and effectiveness of that work? What would be the actual consequences of NOT working 12-14 hours a day? 

Coaching will give you tools for prioritizing your work and your personal well-being. Learn how to negotiate for reasonable expectations. Establish personal and work boundaries that give you the room to perform at your highest level. Together we will build skills, confidence, and perspectives that support your highest achievements and greatest level of satisfaction.
