COACHING

Strategies and approaches to further your career momentum and expand your professional and personal possibilities.  
​We'll work with you to design a package suited to your needs.
We can help you to:
  • Develop Confidence in your Unique Leadership Style: Daring to be different - appreciating and honoring your distinctive leadership qualities and values
  • Transition to a New Role: 100 days and counting - supporting you in planning for impact, while managing a steep, learning curve;
  • Know what you are doing and why: Seeing the forest and not the trees - supporting you to articulate a clear vision, values and direction for you and your organization;
  • Manage the hard times: Finding (and thinking for) yourself - help you build greater self-awareness and the self-confidence to work through challenges.​
Clients report that they were able to:
  • Command greater respect from peers and managers who saw them as operating at the next level, ready for new challenges or promotion
  • Improve delegation skills with clearer expectation management and a better understanding of team and individual needs
  • Prepare for and conduct more productive meetings
  • Improve organizational influence
  • Exercise more self-control, reducing anger or anxiety levels
  • Ask for and receive help more easily.
How does Leadership Coaching work?
  • We explore and ascertain what you want to get out of coaching, and the specific context within which you are operating. From this, we develop and agree high-level and measurable goals / targets.
  • We listen, observe, provide feedback and support you in an ongoing process of self-reflection. Further feedback can also be collected from others.
  • We work with you to find new approaches, which align with your role, context and your core values, that will help you move you towards your goals.
  • We focus on integrating learning into your daily work practices to build sustainable habits

What might the logistics look like?
  • Depending on location, we might start by meeting in person and then move to phone or video calls, or a mixture of the two
  • Clients in the DC area can take advantage of our 'walk and talk' option: the only form of multi-tasking we heartily recommend
  • Typical coaching engagements run from 4 to 6 months, with sessions every 2 to 3 weeks, but there is no minimum - or maximum! ​
Fiona is genuine, self aware and humble. She is disciplined in approaching coaching sessions for maximum effectiveness, but flexible when she senses there is an important theme to explore.  She effectively challenged my thought using seemingly simple questions and observations – these were extremely powerful.  And she has a great sense of humor, which is not only entertaining but also reassuring, disarming and consoling – an amazingly effective tool!
