Executive coaching is a confidential partnership that helps leaders improve how they think, decide, communicate, and influence. The work is tied to real responsibilities and situations, such as stepping into a larger role, preparing for promotion, handling difficult relationships, or leading through change.

No. A mentor generally shares advice drawn from personal experience. A coach helps you examine your situation, challenge assumptions, strengthen judgment, and decide how you want to act.

When useful, I also provide practical guidance based on my own executive experience. I call this coachsulting.

We begin by defining a small number of practical outcomes- communication mastery, executive presence etc. As we move through those goals, we jointly decide if that objective has been achieved.

Progress may show up in clearer communication, less self-doubts, better decisions, a recent promotion or increased readiness for a larger role.

We review those outcomes throughout the engagement and adjust the work when necessary.

Common topics include executive communication, influence, leadership transitions, difficult stakeholder relationships, organizational politics, career planning, career transitions, decision making, and advancement.

Clients do not need to arrive with a perfectly defined problem. Identifying what is really getting in the way is usually integral to the process.

I work with executives, senior leaders, emerging leaders, and high-potential professionals. I also support organizations and leadership teams when the challenge extends beyond one individual.

Yes it is. Individual coaching conversations are confidential. But it is not privileged in the same way a relationship with an attorney is. The substance of coaching conversations remains private unless required by law or you threaten to hurt yourself or another.

The length depends on the objectives and complexity of the situation. Some engagements address a focused transition or challenge; others support development over a longer period.

We agree on the initial duration and meeting schedule before our sessions begin and review them as our work progresses.

Engagements start with a weekly meeting cadence and as particular goals are met we move to a twice monthly schedule. Meetings can be virtual or face-to-face if you are local to me.

Pricing depends on the length, scope, and particular objectives . After an introductory discovery call, I provide a clear recommendation and fee. Engagements start at $2200.00.

My organizational advisory service (e.g. coachsulting) combines business consulting with coaching to help make business initiatives successful, lead through change, manage inter- and intra-departmental underperformance, political challenges and c-suite effectiveness. These services are either project- or retainer-based.
