Our Purpose is to Help Your Leaders Lead With Clarity and Confidence

Give Your Leaders Support to Be the Best Leaders They Can Be

Whether it’s making decisions at the top of a global organization or leading a project team or deciding what to make for dinner, we believe, our actions have an impact on others – that makes us all leaders. We work with leaders who want to be intentional about their impact on the organization and its people.

There is Not One Single Formula for Effective Leadership

Being an Inspiring, Influential Leader Who Engenders Trust is Possible

There’s not one single formula for effective leadership – it comes from cultivating one’s natural talents, beliefs and experiences and directing them toward their goals. It’s using our unique behavioral style, combined with skillful knowledge, to be our best and bring out the best in others.
Being an inspiring, influential leader who engenders trust is possible. It goes beyond simply knowing what to say in a given situation. It requires self awareness and deliberate practice to consistently show up as the leaders we want to be. We have the expertise to draw out those inner qualities and refine them to make them most effective.

LEaD COACHING FOR TECHNICAL PROFESSIONALS

Technical vs. Management Career Track Decision

Making the decision about whether to continue as a technical professional vs move to a career in management is a major career decision. Having invested heavily in becoming an expert in one’s profession (usually with a doctorate of some kind), the thought of leaving “the bench” is difficult. Everyone around this person has a vested interest in the decision so it can be difficult to sort out the decision.

Testimonials

Lisa

“Gwen’s warm and direct coaching style was a tremendous help to me as I launched my new career (from corporate lawyer to in-house trainer and coach). Working with Gwen helped me identify what I want and how to get there, including sources of support needed for my journey. Her ability to “tell it like it is” accelerates the positive results from coaching.”

Luke

“Gwen helped me diagnose and fundamentally understand the underlying issues I was having with a long-term employee. With her help, we developed a strategy that targeted the issues and created a path to success that not only empowered the employee but motivated her to overachieve. I would recommend Gwen’s coaching services to anybody that simply needs more from an employee. She will get it done and you will be very happy with the results!”

Xin

“It has been a pleasure having Gwen as my coach, especially while I’m in a transition from GM (general manager) to a freelance coach/trainer, her coaching was inspiring and powerful, yet caring. As a result I achieved clarity and positive movement instead of focusing on negative thoughts & emotions, She helped me be creative in addressing my challenges.”

Nan

“Gwen is an amazing coach and facilitator. She can probe and listen to uncover a situation as if standing on a balcony watching the entire situation unfold. With this information, she uses her gentle approach to guide you to see things more broadly. A wonderful resource!"

Meaningful Self Promotion for the Humble

Some leaders tend toward being humble. They actually don't enjoy public recognition. They are satisfied knowing, in their hearts, that they did a good job. That’s fine…and it’s simply not good enough. The thing is, everyone is too busy doing their own thing to notice...

My dad was a carpenter in my home town. On my days off from school I’d tag along with him to his job sites. Every once in awhile he’d “go to coffee.” “Coffee” at the City Cafe was a weekday ritual for many business people in my small community. My dad, however, was an...

In my opinion, and others would agree, trying to get a job solely by filling out applications is a waste of time. If you want to make a pivot in your career or move to a new company, at the very least, don’t spend all of your time looking at ads and filling out...

Use Compliments as Positive Self Promotion

Use Compliments as Positive Self Promotion

by | Aug 27, 2019

Clients often tell me they are terrible at self-promotion. But there’s another way of thinking about self-promotion that’s not the slimy, sucking up kind. Instead, I suggest developing a habit of giving genuine compliments as a way of building relationships. I have a...
