Coaching Services
Accompaniment is a primary way that I understand coaching. Walking with another person while trusting in their inner capacity to chart their course is my orientation in coaching. Not advice-giving, not direction, but accompaniment on a journey distinguishes my work with others as different from my work as a consultant. As an active listener, I explore the intersection between the inner and outer path, contradictions, and convergences on it. Our conversations have an easy comfortable relational quality.
As a coach, my specializations include Group coaching, Transition coaching and Executive coaching.
“One doesn’t discover new lands without consenting
to lose sight, for a very long time, of the shore.”

Group Coaching
My area of focus in group coaching is to support groups through “reflective practice” to develop skills of collaboration, listening and coordination through active listening and effective dialogue. In group coaching, I work with clients to remove any blocks preventing communication and to generate a strong platform for trust.
Transition Coaching
“The road is long with many a winding turns which leads to who knows where, who knows where….” (Beatles) We all navigate the twists and turns of the path in life. At times, accompaniment is an important dimension of navigating transitions as we make them, by our choice or otherwise. Coaching, not counseling, offers a person accompaniment during the beginning, middle and end stages of transition. It offers clients the opportunity to gain some clarity, perspective and, hopefully, the grace of peace.
Leadership Coaching
As the President, CEO and Head of organizations, I have learned from the books as well as the Board room, from the science as well as the practice, from successes as well as failures. After years of professional practice in executive leadership positions, there are a few key ingredients to success with a primary one being a “support group.” Coaching offers an executive an effective safe space for exploring, examining, and balancing the pressures and opportunities of service as an executive leader.
