By now, you probably have a sense of why executive coaching is valuable—but if you’re wondering what it actually looks like in practice, this one’s for you. Coaching is not a cookie-cutter process. It’s structured, yes—but it’s also flexible, human, and designed with you to help you grow in a way that feels both ambitious and real.
Here’s what you can expect when we work together:
Setting Coaching Goals That Matter
One of the first things we’ll do is get clear on your goals. These aren’t just professional boxes to tick—they’re rooted in who you are and who you want to become.
I use a framework called HARD goals:
• Heartfelt (you care deeply about it),
• Animated (it energizes you),
• Required (it matters to your role or your growth),
• Difficult (it stretches you).
Why HARD over SMART? Because I believe leadership starts with authenticity. When your goals are aligned with what drives you—not just what looks good on paper—you show up differently. More confidently. More powerfully. More you.
Here’s what a HARD goal could look like:
“Within the next 12 months, lead a cross-functional team to implement a company-wide strategic initiative resulting in a minimum 20% increase in operational efficiency and a measurable improvement in employee engagement.”
That’s big. It’s bold. And it’s about more than metrics—it’s about impact, meaning, and leading in a way that’s true to you.
Digging Into Feedback and Insight
Once your goals are on the table, we’ll explore who you are as a leader. Not just how you think you’re doing—but how you’re perceived, how you show up, and where there’s opportunity to grow.
That’s where tools like 360-degree feedback, emotional intelligence assessments, and self-reflection come in. These aren’t about labeling you—they’re about giving you a clear, well-rounded view of your leadership so you can move forward with intention.
And don’t worry—we’ll unpack the results together. You’ll never be left to figure it out on your own.
A Coaching Plan That Fits You
From there, we co-create your plan. No templates. No off-the-shelf solutions. This is your roadmap—and it will evolve as you do.
Let’s say one of your goals is to show up more authentically at work. That might mean we explore what you’re comfortable sharing, where your boundaries are, and how to lead with more openness while still protecting your energy. Then we practice—because leadership isn’t just talked about; it’s lived.
Regular Sessions, Real Conversations
Coaching is consistent and grounded. We typically meet every two to four weeks for focused, meaningful sessions. These are not “check-in and vent” calls. They’re working sessions—time for you to reflect, stretch, test ideas, and reset when needed.
We’ll talk about your wins, your challenges, and everything in between. I’ll challenge you when it’s needed and support you when it’s hard. You’ll leave each session with clarity, tools, and a sense of direction.
Taking Insight Into Action
This part is key: coaching isn’t just about understanding yourself better—it’s about using that insight to do better. To lead differently. To communicate more clearly. To make decisions that align with your values.
I’ll help you turn our conversations into action plans—simple, doable steps that create real momentum in your work and life.
The Bottom Line
Executive coaching isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about having the space, structure, and support to find your own. Whether you’re an established leader, an up-and-comer, or navigating a big shift in your career or life, coaching gives you a trusted space to grow with purpose.
