Package Description:

What personal challenge or leadership issue has brought you here? Effective coaching does not begin by giving advice, but by asking questions. The same can often be said of leadership. Until we can determine, together, what the key questions are that you need to be asking, of yourself and of others, I don't advise committing to any major 'coaching package' or particular methodology. However, we can take a few steps together--to first make sure that the challenge or issue you think you are grappling with is clearly articulated. We will then test your assumptions and, if necessary, try to collect some data to test that understanding before developing an initial action plan. The idea here is to have enough time (more than a brief intro call) to create and evaluate some hypotheses about the opportunities and challenges in front of you, with recommendations to help maximize your growth and learning to address them. If you feel comfortable taking any recommendations and an action plan on by yourself, then we're done. However, we can also determine whether there is additional meaningful support I can provide those efforts, with structured coaching or in other areas. I've developed and used 360 degree assessments, for instance, which can be very effective when used correctly. I'm also an experienced facilitator and consultant that has worked with leaders on change management, conflict resolution, and other organizational challenges (e.g. introducing generative AI initiatives). Depending on your additional need, we will determine if I can provide support, or if I can tap my network to recommend anybody else that might. This package would generally include three one-hour meetings, unless we mutually agree to an alternative format: 1. Initial meeting will focus on your situation, primary challenges you identify, making an effort to articulate a key question (or questions) you want to address 2. Second meeting will review any initial steps taken and any findings to better understand the key question(s) and potential approaches 3. Third meeting will discuss a set of recommendations and action plan that can be employed Prior to the first two meetings, I will ask you to respond to some questions. The more detail you are able to provide in advance, the richer our dialogue can be. I will take primary responsibility for sharing a preliminary set of recommendations and action plan before the third meeting, though this may also require some input from you, as well. I offer this package at a reduced rate because I recognize a short introductory call is not enough to determine if there is a good match between coach and client. My intention is to provide good value whether or not we continue working together afterwards. For now, I invite you to initiate a chat or an intro call if you have any questions.
