Leadership Coaching

As a coach, my role is to partner with you in setting personal and/or professional goals and to support you in working towards your desired outcomes—providing a safe and uplifting space for reflection and exploration.

Coaching sessions can cover any topic including:
— compassion fatigue
— burnout
— feelings of guilt, shame, isolation
— people pleasing, perfectionism, setting boundaries
— decision-making
— self-compassion
— personal growth
— exploring creative pursuits
— mental/emotional/physical well-being
— career goals
— exploring vision and values
— navigating change and transitions
— building resilience
— creating work-life balance
— time management
— conflict management
— workplace challenges
— having difficult conversations

I specialize in leadership coaching for:
— leaders in any profession or work sector (does not have to be healthcare-related) who are also care partners or caregivers
— leaders working in the health and wellness sector in any capacity (e.g., psychologists, therapists, nurses, nurse practitioners, doctors, coaches, fitness professionals, researchers, academics, volunteers, students, social services, IT, management, administration, etc.)

“Leadership is an action, not a position.” — Donald McGannon

Some of the words my clients have used to describe me and my sessions are:
safe, calm, grounding, professional, playful, empowering, focused, giving space, ‘surfing the wave’, supportive, more helpful than therapy, magical, unexpected, non-judgemental, able to share things never shared before, eye-opening, connected, present, and genuine.

Why coaching?
Care partnering and caregiving is like a melody that can be sometimes silent, soft, beautiful, repetitive, dissonant, clamorously loud, and everything in between; but no matter what, it is always present even if we don’t consciously hear it. It weaves through the fabric of our lives—enriching relationships, fostering understanding and empathy, evoking compassion and love, and reminding us of the importance of human connection. It is a melody, or thread, that runs alongside and within other threads—be it work, relationships, or personal well-being.

As such, the rhythm of care partnering can have its ebbs and flows with its uncertainties, challenges, and rewards that shape our stories and experiences. Acknowledging this, our sessions together explore your role as a care partner and/or as a leader in the healthcare field, and how that role may be influencing you and other areas of your life. Sometimes, we may not talk specifically about care partnering or your professional role at all, but we continue to hold the implicit knowledge that the thread of caring is deeply interwoven into our feelings, reflections, motivations, behaviours, perceptions, thought patterns, and decision-making processes.

So, just as a skilled musician understands the importance of each note and rest, effective leadership coaching is a transformative process that will help you identify your strengths and areas for growth, creating a balanced composition of skills and strategies. I will support you in this through non-directive coaching; that is, instead of telling you what to do or prescribing a general methodology, we will take your own lived experiences and goals, and work closely together so that you will be empowered to find your own answers. Only then can these solutions align with your own vision and values, leading to a more meaningful, fulfilling, and sustainable life.
