taking a regenerative approach

Corporate trauma is the emotional, psychological or physiological harm that results from interactions and experiences in the workplace. It's a byproduct of the structures and systems created by capitalism-without-consciousness, and it's woven into the very fabric of our society. We’re taught from an early age to take part in a cycle of fear, anxiety, competition, isolation and threat, and to carry it from the school environment into our work environments. As a culturally pervasive phenomenon, corporate trauma influences the way we work, warping our ability to trust ourselves and those we work with, and it can get in the way of our progress and erode our sense of self-worth.

As a leader, you’re in a position of impact. That’s true whether you work for a corporation or you’re forging your own path as an innovator or entrepreneur. You have a chance to do things differently. To define your own personal vision for success. To think about not just what you want to achieve, but how you want to achieve it. This is your opportunity to heal the cycle of corporate trauma, make a meaningful impact and create a new legacy.

An Intentional, Transformative ApproAch to Coaching

My approach to coaching helps you break the cycle of corporate trauma and promote healing and growth from within. It's a transformative process that begins with self-reflection – to think about not just what you want to achieve, but how you can achieve it. Sure – we look at your goals to identify what you want to achieve and a pathway for getting there. And then we dig deeper to explore the issues and questions that can help you do things differently.

QUESTIONS LIKE:

  • What do you want to be known for as a leader?
  • How do you want to show up in your role?
  • What needs to change for you to do that?
  • How do you communicate with people?
  • How do you support the people you work with?
  • Do you give them space to speak up and be curious?

AND QUESTIONS LIKE:

  • Why are you doing the work you’re doing?    
    Why is it important? Why now?
  • What do you not want to do as a leader?
  • What effect do you want to have on the people you work with? Your community? The world?
  • How do you envision your legacy?
  • What are your beliefs about your abilities?
  • What past work experiences have had an impact on you?
  • What past work experiences have had an impact on you?
  • Do you have the resources you need to reach your own goals?

Tools for Today's Leaders

My whole-person approach to coaching helps you make space for innovation – to create the change you want to see, become the kind of leader you envision and leave a meaningful legacy.
