Executive Coaching Austin
For leaders navigating complexity, pressure, and growth

Overview of Services
At 360 Coaching, I deliver data-informed executive coaching and leadership development grounded in psychology, adult development, and my personal experience in business leadership.
The work expands capacity, shifts behavior, and creates results people can actually feel — in how they lead, how their teams show up, and how the business performs.
Leadership can be lonely. The higher you go, the fewer places there are to speak honestly, slow the chaos, or sort through what’s really happening…unless you’re up for posturing and quick advice.
I bring valuable experience to this work:
Executive-level start-up background
Deep expertise in human behavior and development
A grounded, relational coaching presence that can hold complexity without rushing to fix it
Clients often seek out 360 coaching in Austin because the work feels both steadying and clarifying — a safe landing spot paired with honest, insight-rich feedback that actually moves the needle.
This is not coaching that lives in theory or motivation. It’s practical, personal, and designed to help you lead with greater clarity, confidence, and effectiveness — especially when the pressure is on.
360 Coaching supports leaders, teams, and organizations who are ready to move beyond surface-level fixes and into meaningful, sustainable change.
I work at the intersection of inner leadership and outer results — helping clients understand what’s really driving their behavior under pressure, and translating that insight into practical shifts that improve decision-making, communication, trust, and performance.
Whether you’re developing an individual leader, strengthening a team, or building leadership capacity across an organization, our services are designed to meet you where you are — and help you grow what matters most.

Why Leaders Seek Executive Coaching in Austin
Leadership challenges rarely show up as simple requests for a specific service. More often, they surface as pressure, friction, or a sense that something important isn’t working the way it should.
These are the situations I’m most often asked to help untangle.
Leadership Feels Isolating
At the top, problem-solving can quietly turn into an echo chamber. Decisions carry more weight, feedback narrows, and it becomes harder to know whether you’re seeing the full picture.
I work with leaders who want a clear, trustworthy thinking partner—someone who can help them slow down, widen perspective, and make sense of what’s really happening.
Growth Is Putting Strain on the System
Growth is a good problem to have—but it exposes cracks. Roles blur, communication frays, and leaders are asked to operate beyond their current capacity. I’ve been there.
When this happens, the issue isn’t effort or commitment. It’s whether the leadership system can actually support the next stage of growth.
Team Dynamics Are Getting in the Way
When trust slips or tension goes unaddressed, it shows up fast: meetings stall, conflict simmers, accountability weakens.
I help teams surface what’s shaping their collective behavior and develop shared language and alignment—so collaboration improves and performance follows.
Strong Individual Contributors Are Struggling as Managers
The move from individual contributor to people leader is one of the most difficult transitions in leadership—and one of the least supported.
I work with rising and newly promoted leaders to develop the judgment, communication, and self-awareness required to lead people effectively under pressure.
Retaining Talent and Building the Leadership Bench
When capable people disengage or leave, it’s rarely about compensation alone. More often, it’s about whether leaders feel supported, developed, and prepared for what’s next.
Thoughtful leadership development strengthens retention, engagement, and succession—before the cracks become costly.
Whether you’re a founder navigating growth, a CEO managing performance, a manager learning to lead, or a team seeking alignment, I help clarify what’s actually going on—and identify the most effective way forward.
