EXECUTIVE COACHING:
I lead executive peer groups in the greater Madison, WI area that offer deep professional and personal growth and development. Called Executive Agenda, each group consists of 12-16 hand-selected, non-competing executives from all business disciplines and from various industries. Working with leaders who are passionate about what they do and have a variety of opinions, backgrounds and job functions brings me great energy and joy. We meet quarterly in a safe, trusting environment to help address each person’s issues and opportunities, offer guidance around potential next steps, and hold members accountable for follow-up on each action item. During our individual 1:1 sessions, I listen intently and ask probing questions so that you discover what is at the root of your issue and find creative solutions. Through these processes and discussions, participants grow to become even greater exceptional leaders.
