What can a coaching relationship with me do for you and your organization?

I work directly with business owners and executives desiring sustainable change within their organizations. Together we focus on developing transformational leaders and positive cultures with high levels of employee engagement. These are key ingredients for sustained business growth and success. Other key ingredients include a compelling shared vision, clear direction and priorities, and proper execution of an effective strategic plan. These are areas I commonly provide coaching around to my executive coaching clients.

To our coaching relationship, each client brings his or her unique wants and needs coupled with the objectives of the organization. Below are some of the areas that I work most frequently in with my leadership and business coaching clients:

Common circumstances my coaching focuses on:

  • Leadership skill development and team skill development

What is a sherpa?

A sherpa, when written uncapitalized, generally means “guide.” (When capitalized, Sherpa refers to the ethnic group residing in the most mountainous region of Nepal. Sherpas are world renowned for their hardiness, guidance, and expertise on mountaineering expeditions up the high peaks of the Himalaya Mountains). In my work as Teambuilder, Coach, and Facilitator, I use the metaphor of myself as sherpa, to mean I serve my clients by guiding them to a higher level and helping them reach heights they would otherwise not have reached on their own. The metaphor continues for me as I share some personal beliefs and values with the Sherpa people: humility, perserverence, importance of belonging to and contributing to one’s community, to name a few.

As a sherpa, the driving purpose behind my coaching is this: to come alongside and guide individuals as they move towards their highest potential and the fullest life experience possible.
