For Leaders
Leadership is strengthened through the quality of conversations you have with others.
Your leadership conversations determine how decisions are shaped, what meaning is created, and what actions will be adopted in the engagement of the human energy, creativity, attention and skills of your people.
I can guide you to increase the value of your conversations.
Areas of Specialization
- Conversation practices and models
- Relational challenges and how to have difficult conversations
- Building trust with other people
- Transforming the culture of your team/organization
- Creating a healthy emotional environment for yourself and employees
- Cultivating your own self-belief and self-trust
- Focus on healing patterns of behaviour in the culture of your organization
My clients report that through our work together they have increased their capacity to inspire, mobilize, be clear, engage, and transform relationships so that they can see real progress in what matters most the them and their organization.

Momentum Coaching
In Depth, One Time Consultation
This is intended for you if you are seeking a definitive approach to a troubling dilemma or situation, and you would really value an opportunity to go deep with someone who will listen and support you to make a good decision.
I bring years of experience as a senior leader, consultant, coach and workshop leader to the table. And some solid common sense.
How it Works:
- Email with the subject line Momentum Meeting, and we’ll book something in both our calendars
- The first meeting is 90 minutes.
- A second follow-up meeting (30 minutes) will be scheduled to allow you to assess progress being made in addressing the situation and to fine tune the approach .
- A recording of the meeting will be available to you if you choose
Focus Coaching
6 sessions of Leadership Coaching on Your Goals
weEven when we think the problem is “out there”, the only person we can change is ourselves and how we respond. Understanding what isn’t working is not enough. We need to have alternatives to choose from in order to do something differently. To collect evidence directly from our experience about what might work. To experience new ways of showing up in our conversations.
I work with an in-depth understanding of adult development and the processes which support true behavioural change. I’m trauma informed in my work, and bring years of experience in coaching people to make the changes that matter most to them.
How it Works:
- Email with the subject line, Focus Consultation and we’ll book a time together.
- If you decide you’d like to work with me after your free consultation, we will agree on the goals for our work together and have regular check-ins on the progress you are making
- A recording or our conversations can be made available to you if you choose (some people find it helpful to have, because it gives them a chance to also hear themselves, and deepen their appreciation and understanding of where their growth edge is.
Discovery Coaching
360 Feedback + Development Plan
One of the biggest challenges in leadership is working with other people’s perceptions about you. Perceptions can cast a shadow that governs how much trust, respect and influence you have with the people you work with. And this is important because your scope for achieving your goals is very much tied to whether people are enrolled in wanting to follow you.
As a leader, though, it can be difficult to know where the shadows are that are outside of your perception. Which is where a customized, confidential process for giving you feedback from your supervisors, colleagues, staff and community partners, is really informative.
I design 360s to explore the questions that most important to the leaders I work with. These are not templated, scored questionnaires, or a “one size fits all”. The approach I use is to support you to uncover the fit between your job, your organization, your goals and you.
Depending on your budget, the 360 will use a customized questionnaire (lowest cost option), questionnaire results + a selected small number of interviews or rely heavily on interview input to collect observations about strengths, perceptions and undermining behaviors.
How it Works:
- An initial meeting to discuss the goals for the 360, with you and any other people who need to be at the table for this discussion
- Key criteria and questions are brainstormed, and a methodology is confirmed
- Feedback is collected and a debrief meeting is scheduled
- Following the debrief meeting, a written report will be given to you, along with recommendations on developmental strategies
- A final meeting may be scheduled to set any additional goals related to development, based on some time to consider the feedback.
