Personalized Coaching

Focusing on your specific needs

I focus on both your strengths and your opportunities to grow. This isn’t a 'fix-it' program because there is nothing to fix. Step one is appreciating who you are and recognizing that we are all works in progress.

My goal is to make you highly effective and develop in areas we agree are critical to your success. I am direct and honest while also being compassionate and productive. You can see the positive impact of this in my client testimonials.

Your coaching solution will be specific to you and what you want to accomplish. It will be structured, yet flexible.

Warning: we will occasionally have fun.

Planning and navigating together

To get to know you, I may ask you to perform some assessments or share information from prior assessments. This gives me a foundation from which we can continue your development.

Together, we will identify specific strengths and opportunities to focus on. Threadline’s skills assessment includes 92 leadership skills and 21 executive skills.

Frequent areas of focus

  • Managing conflict productively

  • Delegating effectively

  • Communicating clearly

  • Building an adaptable, flexible leadership mindset

  • Influencing and negotiating for positive outcomes

  • Leading with empathy, vulnerability, and authenticity

  • Establishing and maintaining work-life balance

Threadline’s career coaching specialization

If you aren’t sure your career is on the right path, I can help. Many of the high performers I coach had little experience looking for a job, were uncomfortable marketing themselves, and were hesitant to reach for something better.

In the process of coaching these clients, I realized this was one of the best ways I can help leaders. I researched and developed a specialized process to support career shifters and job seekers.

This career coaching process has multiple steps to take you from looking at an old resume to having the job you deserve.

Personalized Coaching FAQ’s

  • Threadline’s ideal client is passionate about the art and science of leadership. They understand that work and life behaviors and experiences are integrated.

    Title does not matter. Clients range from 5 to 40 years of work experience.

    A good litmus test is this: if you like Simon Sinek and Brené Brown, Threadline Leadership is a company you should strongly consider.

  • An article from Forbes in March 2023 lists benefits of coaching that are less obvious but extremely common:

    Combating executive isolation

    Improving your thought leadership

    Elevating your executive presence

    Operating in your zone of genius (enhancing your strengths)

    Increasing your self-confidence

  • Coaching produces amazing results for individuals and the companies who employ them. An article published on LinkedIn summarizes twenty extensive studies on the benefits of leadership coaching. The stated ROI’s range from 305% to 790%.

    The studies also showed significant improvements in skills. For example, one study demonstrated an 88% increase in sales productivity with personalized coaching compared to a 22% improvement from standard training.

  • I work for you. I respect your boundaries, privacy, and comfort.

    You determine the topics and pace at which we work.

  • There are a lot of unknowns when we begin a coaching relationship - for both of us. Putting an arbitrary timeframe on something I do not understand is inconsistent with Threadline’s core values.

    You will have milestones to track your progress. They provide confidence that the process is working.

  • My obsession is for clients to meet their goals. Prompt feedback is always welcome, especially if you aren’t satisfied.

    When you complete your second hour of coaching, if you determine I am not the best coach for you, I will allow you to terminate your coaching contract and will refund 100% of your payment.
