Executive COACHING

You lead with purpose and want to make an even greater impact.

You’ve reached a point in your career where your leadership matters more than ever. You’re confident, capable, and already making a difference — but the next level requires something more.

What you need is a trusted partner who understands the unique challenges of leading in today’s ever-changing, complex world — and who can help you refine your approach to achieve even greater influence.

You recognize that now is the time for you to fully step into your leadership potential.

You’re committed to sharpening your skills, like emotional intelligence, decision-making, and communication.

You’re committed to building your executive presence and leading with confidence, authenticity, and clarity.

You’re committed to articulating a clear, strategic vision and creating a strategic roadmap that inspires your teams.

You’re committed to improving team dynamics, strengthening collaboration, and building a culture of trust and accountability.

You’re committed to strategizing solutions for complex challenges, from managing teams to making high-impact decisions to leading through change.

You’re committed to staying focused, energized, and balanced by prioritizing self-care, establishing boundaries, delegating effectively, shifting limiting beliefs and cultivating a growth mindset.

… but you’re not entirely sure where to begin, or how to make it all happen.

You’re committed to driving results by setting meaningful goals, creating action steps, and staying accountable.

Our Approach to Executive Coaching

Our approach is individualized and collaborative with our client. Just as every client is unique, every client’s experience with coaching will be unique. Generally, we engage in the following types of activities during our coaching relationship:

ALIGN


Objectives

We will begin our work together by aligning on your objective - often this is whatever it is that prompted you to explore working with a coach. Each time we meet, you’ll also set a session-specific goal. Alignment is essential to ensuring we spend our time together in the way that will be most valuable to your growth.

EXPLORE


Insights + Learnings

You’ll be encouraged to uncover insights and learnings about yourself. We may explore and discuss your values, motivations, interests, and skills; your definition of success, your north star. You’ll be encouraged to imagine what’s possible and to articulate your vision. We may leverage coaching tools and/or assessments if appropriate.

PLAN


Goals + Strategies

Energized and inspired by your vision for what’s possible and insight into what success means to you, you’ll identify specific strategies and tactics to create an action plan that feels right for you, and to identify accountability systems available to you.

ACTION


Implementation

There’s no better way to build confidence than by taking action. We may discuss the actions you take (or do not take), challenges you encounter and ways to overcome them, actions to start/stop/continue, and most importantly, we’ll celebrate successes!

*a note on coaching

* The Explore-Plan-Action activities featured are illustrative, and typically done in sprints. Coaching is not a one-size-fits-all process. The client will set the priorities for our relationship and for each session, and we will use our time in the way that the client wishes to use it to help them move towards achieving their goal. Please schedule a consultation so we can meet to discuss your goals.

    “I’ve worked with Diana for a few years now, and she has helped me improve my leadership and communication skills. She offers practical and helpful strategies. Originally I didn’t think I needed an executive coach, but it’s been awesome to have someone to talk things through with who’s not in it with me day to day, and who offers different perspective and ideas for me to consider. I highly recommend her as an executive coach.”

FAQ’s

  • Just like with any service provider, every coach is different in terms of specific offerings, areas of expertise, experience, approach, style, philosophy, personality, cost, etc. Before you commit to working with a specific coach, I strongly recommend that you meet with several and find the one that feels right for you!

  • From founders and CEOs of start-ups, to C-suite leaders at middle market companies, to VPs, SVPs, EVPs, MDs at large, publicly traded companies, I work with high performing and high potential leaders who are committed to personal and professional growth and see the value of investing in themselves.

  • Having spent 25+ years as a sales, marketing, strategy, and product leader in the financial services, technology, and professional services industries (e.g., digital agencies, analytics firms, consulting, etc.), I know those industries really well, and my clientele skews heavily towards these industries. I work with clients at firms of all types, including startups, publicly traded, privately held, and privately-equity backed.

  • The most effective executive coaching partnerships are a minimum of 6-12 months long.

  • I work with leaders on a wide range of objectives, including:

    • Mindset and cultivating self-awareness

    • Cultivating confidence and resilience

    • Executive presence

    • Having difficult conversations

    • Communicating and active listening

    • Managing stress and overwhelm

    • Leading with authenticity

    • Articulating a clear vision and strategic roadmap

    • The list goes on!
