Leadership Coaching That Fits Your Life and Work
When leadership challenges arise, you shouldn't have to wait for your next scheduled meeting to get guidance. My coaching approach combines live sessions with asynchronous support, giving you input when you need it most. Whether that's during a planned conversation or when a crisis emerges at 3 PM on a Tuesday.
When personal loss meets leadership responsibility, you need specialized support that understands both the human psychology of grief and the unique pressures of tech leadership.
The Coaching Experience
What makes my coaching different isn't just the experience. It's how we actually work together.
Traditional coaching happens in scheduled sessions where you try to remember what happened days ago. By then, you've lost the details that matter. Often you've lost the chance to do anything about it.
I work differently. You get both planned sessions for the big stuff and real-time support when challenges hit.
Live Sessions: We use scheduled calls for the strategic work. Building frameworks, working through complex situations, planning how to handle major challenges. The stuff that needs focused conversation.
Asynchronous Support: Between sessions, send me a message when something comes up. Video, audio, or text. Whatever works. You get guidance while you can still do something about it.
The goal isn't constant contact. It's getting guidance when it actually matters. You address challenges when they matter most, not when the calendar allows.
How Asynchronous Coaching Works
What makes my coaching different isn't just the experience. It's how we actually work together.
What it looks like in practice:
Send Messages However You Want: Video, audio, text, or screen recording. Use whatever feels natural.
No Prep Required: Don't write a presentation. Just tell me what's happening.
Quick Responses: I respond during business hours. Usually within a few hours.
While It Matters: You get input while you can still influence what happens next.
Common scenarios: A stakeholder throws a curveball into your planning. A team conflict emerges during a meeting. You're facing a decision and want to think it through with someone who's navigated similar challenges. A difficult conversation didn't go as planned and you need guidance on next steps.
I'm not trying to make you dependent on me. I want you to learn faster by getting input exactly when you can use it.
Why Both Live and Async Matter
Most coaching is either scheduled sessions OR ongoing text support. Using both together gets real results.
Live sessions are irreplaceable for:
Strategic planning and framework development
Processing complex interpersonal dynamics
Working through leadership philosophy and values
Deep coaching conversations that require back-and-forth dialogue
Reflecting on patterns and building systematic approaches
Asynchronous support accelerates everything by:
Addressing challenges in real-time rather than retrospectively
Maintaining momentum between scheduled sessions
Providing guidance when you're most motivated to apply it
Creating space for authentic questions without time pressure
Supporting implementation of strategies from live sessions
Together, they work because insights from our deep conversations get applied immediately to real problems. You learn faster. The changes stick.
Research shows this approach gets results about 40% faster than traditional coaching. Probably because you're dealing with challenges right when they happen instead of waiting until they pile up.
What Makes This Approach Different
Most leadership development treats crisis management and long-term growth like they're separate things. They're not.
The moments when you're under real pressure are exactly when systematic leadership skills matter most. If you can think clearly during a crisis, handle tough conversations without losing your cool, and make good decisions when everyone's watching—that's when you become the leader people trust instead of work around.
Traditional coaching often feels disconnected from what you actually deal with. You talk about stuff that happened last week, brainstorm approaches, and hope you remember the advice when something similar comes up again.
I bring coaching directly into your day-to-day leadership. You get input on actual challenges as they're happening, so you build skills in real situations instead of hoping classroom learning transfers later.
The business impact is immediate:
Faster decision-making when challenges arise
More confident handling of difficult conversations
Better outcomes from high-stakes situations
Reduced stress from feeling equipped rather than reactive
Team confidence in your leadership during uncertainty
You're not just learning about leadership—you're getting better at it with someone who's been there.
