You’ve handled some of these challenges before. But others feel edgy. Handling high-performers feels especially edgy. Especially when you have your own career to worry about.

You’re aware that you’ve got some blind spots. You know you could do better but don’t know how.

So, you ask for feedback constantly from your manager and your direct reports so you can improve. After all, you’re a learner.

 But… when you finally get the feedback, there’s no clear direction. It’s too little and too late.

“Remember, 6 months ago you did that thing in that way, yeah, don’t do it that way.”

This is simply not enough for the career growth that you want.

During this journey, I am also going to teach you:

• What effective leadership looks like (no, it’s not just “managing” or “growing” people)

• How to build amazing professional relationships that last (including the ones that need difficult conversations)

• How to find actual acceptance and gratitude for your life (and it’s different from forced resignation to circumstances).

• How to set up a vision for yourself and become a visionary for your team and company

FAQ

“I’m SO busy. I’m not sure I can make the required time and energy commitment.”

The direct coaching time is when we meet for 1 hour for 3 weeks/month. Between sessions, you can expect to dedicate some time to fieldwork - some of this looks like studying resources such as audios and articles - that’s the easy part. The hard part will be the challenges you will take up, the games you will play (my favorite one is the “Hello” game), and the awareness exercises. These don’t take much of your time, but your boldness reserves. You choose these practices based on where you want to get to.

My clients get so much more back when they invest their time and energy with me. They find they are more clear-headed and focused and can make better decisions at work. Is that worth 3 hours a month for you?

“Do you help with Resume and Interview Preparation?”

No, I am not trained in that. What I can help you with is answering questions such as “Tell me about yourself” (yeah, I hated being subject to that one) and “What’s your leadership style?”

“What if your advice doesn’t work?”

Firstly, I am not here to give you advice. Advice is like giving you a band-aid; it works temporarily but won’t remove your pain. Coaching goes beyond the general strategy and information. There are enough resources for strategies (my newsletter is one!). I will help create the transformation you need from the inside that will get you the desired results without the stress. It’s like having a business partner for your career.

“I’ve got enough mentors. How is this going to be different?”

Mentorship is excellent for getting advice on situations your mentor can relate to with their experience. You will not find generic advice working with me, though. My coaching is highly personalized to your situation, no matter where you are in your career. I designed it with a background in transformational coaching. My work is always to inspire profound mindset shifts that permanently change how you show up in your career.

“I’m wondering, Can I do this on my own?”

You know the steps (I’ve listed them above). If you’re a high-performer, you don’t need me. You absolutely can do this on your own. But, if you want -A trained coach guiding you and mirroring your blind spots (they’re called blind, for a reason)To be supported and stood for, as you discover your path and make mistakes and failAccelerate your transformation before life gives you lemons (did you know, you could make a lemonade much before that happens?)
Then, you’ll love this work.

“I’ve worked with a coach. How are you going to be different?”

That’s awesome! I hope you got the results you wanted. If you’re still here, I will tell you the secret behind a truly effective coach- their investment in their transformation. A coach can take you only as far as they have gone themselves. This does not mean having the same titles, positions, or life situations. It’s about the depth of transformation they’ve gone through. A good coach would have gone through tremendous personal change and understand the workings of their ego, fear, and passion (and they continue doing that transformational work). 

There is a lot of strategy and consulting for leadership termed coaching (of course, there is a place for that). What I’m offering, though, is a way of transforming yourself through your career, not in spite of your career. This is not simply about getting to that next thing but also shifting how you show up at your work as a leader. You’ll not be the same person at the end of a coaching engagement with me.

I am deeply invested in my personal growth and transformation. My journey has taken me from a blame mindset, wishing for others to change to stepping up as an owner of my life. Through my work with my coach and spiritual teachers, I have developed a ton of self-awareness, compassion, and deep insight into the workings of my mind. This allows me to coach people towards the same.

“I'm not a leader yet, or I'm not in the tech industry. But, I'm really interested in coaching with you. Can I apply?”

Absolutely. Much of the work I do applies across industries as long you are in a similar mid-career level in your career path.
