EXECUTIVE COACH,
LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE FOR BLACK WOMEN

COACHING STYLE:

I work by engaging in assessments (if possible), working with my coachee in setting goals and then focusing on strategies for achieving those goals. The coaching relationship provides an opportunity to talk about what’s happening at work/in life that’s making it hard to get more of what the coachee wants to achieve and how to do more of what is already bringing success. We also work on issues by naming what’s happening in the moment between us and how we understand those dynamics and the connection to moving toward/away from their goals.
