Executive Coaching:
The pressure of boardroom performance was the focus of a recent coaching session. Although this client felt she was in control of direct report relationships, she felt ineffective in the company of peers and superiors. After much introspection, evaluation and soul searching, this client discovered that her communication style with reports and teams was based on a questioning model that had served her well. In contrast, she felt intimidated and insecure in the company of peers and superiors because she felt she had to change her communication style to be taken seriously. That change paralyzed her. By shifting communication back to a style that was natural, comfortable and secure, she discovered that she could be strong and assertive in her natural style rather than intimidated and uncertain in an adopted style.
Powerful Outcome: This client is now comfortable communicating in her own style and continues to contribute at a very high level. She is allowing herself to be authentic in her business environment and has opened new possibilities for herself in her personal life.

Powerful Outcome: This plan is now the cornerstone of a successful merger which significantly increased the company's market value. Product development timelines were dramatically accelerated. Strategically planned technology utilization gave this company a clear market advantage and a 3 year head-start over its competition.
