Leadership Coaching

Marian and Gene, ICF certified coaches, with post graduate certification in Leadership Coaching and many years of leadership experience enjoy helping their coaching clients think through and respond to challenges in new ways. As coaches they partner with successful leaders individually or in small groups to tackle meaningful issues and sort through the chaos, to achieve clarity and confidence. Successful leaders find coaching beneficial at many different points in their leadership journey. Here are a few examples of ways we work with leaders:

Bright Start

Designed to meet the needs of a new CEO, Executive Director, or C-Level Executive this package includes one or two sessions each month in person, by Zoom or phone, over a six-to-twelve-month period. Specific goals are targeted in the initial meeting, and progress is monitored throughout the engagement. The Coach serves as a thought partner and assumption buster providing a safe space to talk through challenges and ideas. This package is intended to support the leader in their first year of leadership.

Change Partner

Designed to meet the needs of C-Suite Executives, or members of the leadership team, during periods of rapid growth or change. Leadership can feel very lonely, having a coach to talk things through with can lessen your sense of loneliness. This package includes one or two meetings per month, in person, by Zoom or phone, over a four-to-twelve-month period. It is possible to add meetings with the leader and their team to work on specific issues, facilitate challenging conversations, or provide professional development on desired topics. Specific goals are targeted in the initial meeting, and progress is monitored throughout the engagement. This package is intended to support the leader at any point in their leadership journey.

Successful Succession

Designed to meet the needs of rising stars. targeted as future leaders within organizations, to enhance strengths and build proficiency. This package includes one or two one-on-one meetings per month, in person, by Zoom or telephone, over a six-to-twelve-month period. Assessments will be used to identify areas for growth or polish, easing the transition from team member to leader. It may also be beneficial to add in a few facilitated team meetings as the rising star moves into leadership of a team to improve communication and build trust.

These are just three scenarios in which coaching can be helpful. Interested in coaching for other reasons? Contact us to discuss your particular coaching need or opportunity.

A variety of assessments are available to add to any coaching agreement.

Small Group Coaching

Provides the opportunity to examine an issue within a small group and gain new insight through discussion and self-reflection.  Participants find it to be an inspiring format for learning, leading to improved outcomes.  The next series will begin in October and you will be able to see the schedule and register here for Coaching Over Coffee.

If you are looking to make big changes or finally take on that BIG project or position and would benefit from a thought partner, accountability holder, assumption buster, and experienced advisor contact us, to schedule a free 30-minute Conversation with the Guinns.

Packages

If you’re like us, there are moments when you respond in ways you later regret, get frustrated with team members who are last minute or late, avoid the “difficult” person in your office, and wish you could find more joy in your work…especially on the bad days.

We are excited to share the newest series of Coaching Over Coffee, small group coaching sessions. These sessions provide a great opportunity to think through important issues, learn new strategies, and even practice new skills.

In this NEW series we will look at how minor adjustments in our mindset can impact our success as a leader in significant ways, enabling us to take action and move forward on goals that are important.

The four-part series, beginning in late October, will have 55-minute small group coaching conversations aimed at helping us increase our emotional intelligence and adjust our mindset so that we can improve the time management skills of our team, navigate conflict with a difficult coworker, and find more joy in our work.

Session 1: Boost Your Emotional Intelligence
Session 2: Helping Employees with Time Management
Session 3: Navigating Conflict with/Difficult Coworker
Session 4: Finding Joy in Your Work

You have your choice of 2 Cohorts:
Cohort 1 will meet on Tuesdays, at 11am ET:
October 29, November 12, December 3 & 17 – FULL
OR
Cohort 2 will meet on Wednesdays at 9am ET:

Fee: $180/person

Coaching over Coffee participants find value in the perspectives of other participants and the support shared as we take on new information and work to grow our leadership presence.

Our work with clients has convinced us that we’re not the only ones who need to reflect and adjust our mindset. As we wrap up 2024 – what better time is there to become a better leader?

We hope you will join us!
