Executive & Startup
Coaching

Coaching is an opportunity to spend time thinking deeply about your most pressing challenges while broadening your ideas by working with a partner who has had different experiences and who can help hold you accountable to your actionable plans.  

Individual or Team Assessments

Along the way we may select assessments to examine emotional-social intelligence, to help understand the basic differences in the ways individuals think and work or to assess leadership skills to identify areas you and your teams can strengthen in order to better lead, manage, and work together. We always start with a conversation, or two or three, and then determine which, if any, assessments will be most valuable to help you achieve your coaching goals. Common assessments may include:

• EQ-i®, the Emotional Quotient Inventory 
• Clifton StrengthsFinder®
• Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®)
• CPI260® Coaching Report for Leaders
