Evolving the way leaders think and behave
I coach executive and senior-level leaders from all functional areas who find themselves working in increasingly complex environments or are transitioning into a new leadership role.
Leadership development occurs on two axis - horizontal and vertical. The horizontal axis of development focuses on you acquiring leadership knowledge, skills, and competencies. The vertical axis of development focuses on you becoming more adaptable in the way you see things and building your capacity to handle difficult problems and respond to your environment effectively.
My coaching focuses on you developing both axes. I draw from my toolkit to help you build your horizontal abilities. At the same time, I tap into my knowledge of adult development, the neuroscience of behavioural change and somatic intelligence to help you evolve your thinking and behaviour by becoming more self-aware and developing a deeper, broader, and more dynamic worldview. I do this by offering and sharing my knowledge in:
Growth Edge Adult Development Interview - Understanding how you currently make sense of the world
Immunity to Change – Identifying and finding strategies to overcome your unconscious assumptions
Polarity Mapping – Moving from either/or thinking to a both/and mindset
Inner Critic – Learning to work with, versus against, your saboteur
What People Are Saying
“I've had the pleasure of working with Claire in her roles as both a senior leadership coach and as a group facilitator. Working with her has been one of the most transformative and important career decisions I've ever made. She challenged me to think deeper about the quality of my interactions, increasing my impact for the organization as well as uncovering where I was unknowingly eroding trust. As uncomfortable as it was, it proved to be a pivotal component in my growth as a leader. I have recommended Claire as a coach to many of my peers and colleagues. Her ability to listen with empathy while still daylighting the uncomfortable blind spots holding you back will elevate your ability to grow. I'll continue to rely on Claire's good judgement and advice and recommend her for both individual coaching and facilitation of group sessions.” — Krista Richmond, Senior Development Director
