Looking to improve how you’re leading yourself, your relationships, your teams and / or your organization? 

Increasing awareness of who you are, how you operate and the impact you have - enables you to make conscious choices around how to lead toward the outcome(s) you are most committed to.  

Through coaching, you can increase your:

• Clarity around your own purpose and vision, as well as your team / organizational purpose & vision - in a way that supports clear expectations, accountability and effective decision-making.    And - clarity around who you are and your impact on those around you.  A pre-requisite to conscious leadership. 

• Confidence to lead authentically and make courageous choices that move you toward your desired vision. Decisions that are consciously aligned to (or in integrity with) who you are and what you want—at a personal, team and organizational level.  Remembering: "there is now safe way to be great" (Bob Anderson)

• Capability and skills to lead strategically and build capability in others. The ability to work “with and through” others is essential to scaling your own leadership. Leadership frameworks and tools ae shared in moments that they are relevant and useful in guiding skill development and supporting sustainable shifts.

• Relationship with others, through strengthened EQ and an ability to work through differences in a way that builds trust.  To stay relevant and agile - we must remain connected and in relationship with each other, our systems and stakeholders.

• Health, wellbeing, increased resilience and lowered stress—for you, your teams and your organization.  This sets you up to live and lead from your best (versus your reactive) self: a truly contagious state that will permeate / set the cultural norms around you. If you are feeling overwhelmed and burned out - coaching needs to start here. You can't sustainably serve others until you are well.

As a coach, Debra is always guided by the science of leadership and human interactions and is committed to meeting clients in their inside-out self-awareness journey with simple and timely tools that normalize, add insight, and support sustainable development. In the end, clients gain tremendous confidence from knowing who they are, what they want, and how to lead. This blend of inside-out awareness, coupled with the support of science is the secret recipe for incredible impact!

It is always recommended that coaching begin with an assessment. Feedback and assessments bolster self-awareness, get you focused on what matters—and help you move into “learner mode”.  

Improve your team performance with team coaching that “meets your team where it is at” and provides a safe, productive container to connect, align and work through those difficult (and sometimes heated) team conversations. 

Team development begins in the discovery phase with an honest exploration of your team’s current reality. Developing a shared understanding of your team strength’s and development edges provides the essential foundation for taking your team to the next level of performance. Our work will start here, and respond to where your team is at.  

Expect candid, respectful and lively conversation that will get your team working through (and benefitting from) real conversations that address what lives below the surface, strengthen relationships and foster alignment around the current reality + future vision. Strengthen accountability and performance as you shift the quality of your conversations. 

This same approach is followed when working with dyads and teams in conflict.

Debra’s ability to listen deeply, coupled with her systems perspective and unwavering belief in what is possible for teams is sure to spark development. She will guide you forward using an approach that is intuitive, thoughtful and guided by the best thinking in the science of human, leadership, team and organizational development.
