Coaching
Need help navigating sensitive topics and conversations in your public role?
Executive leadership coaching and strategic planning for those who want to know better and do better. You've worked hard to get the job, now what do you do? Every great leader, every great player, every great anything has a coach. Do you?
We have a team of coaching professionals with real-world practical experience available at your convenience. By providing clients with the right tools and knowledge, we help clients unleash their fullest potential, paving the way towards both professional success and personal balance.
We help you plan the work and support your team to work the plan while navigating the highly political and polarizing landscape of today's world. Current times require leaders to make large-scale and in some cases life-changing decisions related to sensitive and controversial topics such as race, poverty, sexual orientation, and gender with little to no time or training for deep multi-perspective understanding.
To add to these dynamics many of these decisions are very public and can have long-lasting, career-determining consequences. From a political perspective asking the wrong question publicly or choosing the incorrect wording could lead to unintended detrimental consequences, but that doesn't mean the questions don't need to be thought through and answered, or that you are not entitled to your own perspective.
So how do you navigate and still do what you believe is right? You need someone to help you think through this with an equity lens that can help you develop your own. You need a coach!
