Executive coaching
As an Executive Coach, I have over 15 years of experience coaching executives in many industries including consulting, entertainment & media, financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, retail, and technology. My previous work experiences in industry and at business schools have enabled me to understand the cultures and dynamics of many industries and functions. I have coached senior executives including Chairmen of the board, CEOs, COOs, CFOs, Presidents, Partners, General Managers, Vice Presidents, and Directors. In addition, I have coached emerging and senior leaders in 6-18 month long high potential and Leadership Development Programs. I have also coached in Executive Education programs at Harvard Business School.
I earned an Organizational and Leadership Coaching Certificate and a Master of Science in Learning and Organizational Change from Northwestern University. In addition, I am certified in DISC, Emotional and Social Competency Inventory (ESCI), Gallup Global Strengths, Hogan Assessment, Korn Ferry Leadership Architect, Myers-Briggs (MBTI), Taking Flight with DISC and Voices 360.
Most Executive Coaching engagements range from 6-9 months and focus on one or two development goals.
