Transformational Leadership Development
I coach professionals in private, public and non-profit organizations as well as military personnel on organizational change, leadership development, and high performance.
High performance to me means outstanding results by using our whole self rather than just a part—or even working against ourselves. My clients report that they feel more alive, in alignment with who they are, and contribute fully to the success of the team. Their presence becomes more of an invitation as a leader that inspires people to give their best.
When they are under pressure or in conflict, they have more self-control, resilience, and capacity to manage their emotions – the ability to remain powerful and flexible when faced with difficulty is a foundational business and life skill. We have more power than we think…and it might not be where we think it is.
The Power of Somatic Coaching
This transformative whole-person approach to development means that the application of new skills becomes embodied and feels completely natural. It is highly practical and quickly allows you to develop new behaviors and skills that lead to new actions and different results with lasting change.
Under stress we tend to fall back into our old, ingrained patterns of attitudes and behaviors. These old and limiting beliefs create our “story”: we shape who we are, our attitude, and how we act. Our story limits what we perceive we can do and who we are, and, to a great extent, defines our life.
Our stories literally live in us, in our bodies. If we pay attention, we can feel where it lives, as a sensation, and we can work directly with that sensation, just like we can work with our thoughts and emotions.
In fact, sometimes working through the body and our nervous system is the only way to change our ways, when words and conversation are not enough. This is why somatic coaching is so powerful.
The process rapidly leads to palpable shifts in who we are and what we are capable of, and it dramatically accelerates the timeline for leaders and teams to expand their leadership capacity, deepen their leadership maturity and create more impact.
Somatic coaching creates bigger depth and meaning and the self-awareness that leads to better business and life choices.
Some Scenarios For coaching
- In times of change and transition: whether that means you are starting a new position, take on new responsibilities, deal with new professional challenges, going through mergers and acquisitions, re-organisations, or a professional career change – navigate the cycle of change, how to lead others through the process and manage yourself
- If you find yourself in delicate work situations or moments of tension and stress – confident in making difficult business decisions while remaining committed to a human-centered environment
- If you recognize the importance of creating an environment that inspires creativity and innovation
- If you are ready to build an open, grounded leadership presence that makes you approachable, authentic, and charismatic, with a high level of self-confidence and trustworthiness
- If you want to develop effective language and communication skills for team alignment, managing commitments, difficult conversations, and conflict resolution
- If you desire to learn to develop and communicate strategic visioning and planning that generates a natural commitment in the team
- If you wish to be skillful in a multicultural environment where there’s a greater potential for misunderstanding and you can’t rely on your own cultural and social norms
- Following training or individual 360-degree feedback, coaching reinforces the results and helps you become skillful at new behavior
