Leader Assist Executive Coaching
Strategic Career and Leadership Coaching for Mid-Career Senior Leaders and Executives
PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT
I work with highly motivated leaders who want to strategically manage their careers and develop impactful and sustainable leadership practices that enable accelerated progression and exceptional contribution capabilities. If you aren’t intentional about your career, you can easily abdicate the driver’s seat, ending up in a place you didn’t expect to. #Managingyourcareer is essential. My approach is direct, intentional and collaborative. Working with me leaders learn to use their individuality as a strength and differentiator. Whether looking to expand your leadership skills or more intentionally drive your career trajectory, my Three-Pillar Approach will enable your progress.
