The 360 Approach
Assess ➞ Reflect ➞ Practice
Most leadership challenges aren't due to skill gaps. They are rooted in old habits, old mindsets, old ways of relating.
These patterns used to be effective. They literally got you all the way to right here, right now, but they aren’t working anymore.
That’s why working with a leadership consultant who has the depth and insight to help reshape your mindset and the experience of sitting in your seat can make a real difference.
First, we begin where you are. In confidential interviews, I’ll learn about your background, your aspirations and your challenges. Then, I gather confidential and anonymous feedback through a 360 Assessment so that we are clear on the impact your leadership has, the strengths that benefit the most and the reactive styles that show up when you are under pressure. Some of these you will recognize, some are in your blind spot.
From there, we take time to pull it all together, to reflect on the information we’ve gathered so far and interpret the feedback in context of your experience. Your story and your impact.
Here is where your development focus starts to take shape. You find insight and understanding of your habits and mindset, the parts that serve you and the organization and the parts that are no longer effective.
We elevate the insights that will lead us to a development goal that will move the needle. We narrow the focus on a growth edge that will leverage the most impact on your leadership effectiveness. Then we design new ways of thinking, reacting, and relating and begin to practice.
Insight and understanding can be powerful, but practice is where change takes place.

PULSE Surveys
Check on progress in impact through formal stakeholder surveys.
Executive leaders carry the weight and responsibility of the entire organization.
360 Executive Coaching is designed for their development as high-impact leaders, both individually. This engagement will expand leadership capacity, benefiting their teams and the organization.
Beginning with Leadership Circle Profile® 360 feedback surveys, we establish a multi-rater assessment of the leader’s current leadership effectiveness. This includes a dynamic depiction of personal blind spots and related effects. Impacts are seen across the leadership traits of relating, holding integrity, and achieving.
Interpreting these findings in context of the leader’s personal experience and background is the next stage. Here we begin to understand hidden protective instincts behind stuck patterns. Now, we can focus on a specific and aspirational goal that will move the needle on leadership impact.
The final phase is monthly 1:1 coaching to design, experiment and practice new ways of showing up in high-stakes situations. PULSE Surveys track their progress. Over time, the executive leader upgrades their mindset and develops emotional agility to lead more effectively.
Based in Austin, our executive coaching services are available in-person or remotely.
Is your whole senior team ready for a tune-up? The benefits multiply when a group engages in simultaneous leadership development.
Why Executive Coaching Works
Great athletes rely on coaches throughout their careers.
Accomplished executives shouldn’t be any different.
No matter how high you climb, executive coaching gives you access to more of your potential.
Executive coaches bring insight, awareness and a proven process for growth and development. They also provide a much needed space for confidential reflection. Choose a seasoned therapist who is also a successful business leader, and the support will be broader and deeper.
The outcome goes well beyond increasing “soft skills”. Executive coaching boosts the bottom line. Organizations report an impressive 7-to-1 return on every dollar they spend on executive coaching (Source: New Level Work, 2023).

How it All Connects
Sometimes it’s clear which service suits your needs and sometimes it’s not.
All three of these executive coaching services can work together, but each one can also stand alone. The assessments and data are collected based on the individual.
When the problem lives inside a team or if your C-suite isn’t ready for the investment of individual leadership development work, explore Team Alignment.
If you suspect unclear roles, ineffective authority, or conflicting decision rights are at play, look at Organizational & Governance Analysis.
If you’re not sure which one is the best fit for you, let’s talk about it. I’m not sales-y so you don’t have to worry about getting a hard pitch.
