Leadership and Executive Coaching

Contact Nora

YOUR LEADERSHIP

Deep inside, you know there is more to you as a leader. But how do you find clarity about what is most important to you and to those you lead? And how do you make it a reality? Coaching can help. Together, we craft a vision that is uniquely yours. Then, we create a plan that's grounded in your values and strengths — those things you do well that keep you energized.

The Process

The process is simple but powerful.

Common Leadership Challenges

  • Using old mindsets about what a leader is "supposed" to do and be
  • Ignoring the power of strengths in the workplace, strengths that accelerate our performance
  • Not having a clear vision that inspires your team and peers
  • Limiting beliefs about what is possible for you
  • Using only one approach to influence others
  • Letting your own fears get in your way
  • Thinking you know, when in reality, you only see what you have always seen
  • Transitioning successfully from doing the work to leading the people

Coaching is a trusted partnership between you and a skilled coach. Nora's only goal is to help you achieve, and even surpass, your goals.

Nora's Coaching Approach and Style

  • My focus is 100% on you and what it is you want to create. Whether it is a more effective and inspiring leadership approach. Or, if it is about you finally letting go of a bad habit that holds you back.
  • I use questions to challenge you to see more than you currently do. This leads you to more – and better – decisions.
  • This is a judgement-free zone. I create a place where you can be honest and open.
  • Coaching is confidential. It won’t work unless it is.
  • You have enough pressure on you as it is, so I keep it light.

What People Are Saying

  • "Be prepared. If you don't really want to change, don't call Nora. Her expertise is deep and her insight even deeper. Nora will challenge you in unconventional ways -- all focused on creating the outcome you desire. Open your mind and you will emerge with your own insight and skills to carry change forward."
    — Pat, VP, Insurance
  • "Nora is an excellent listener, which makes her a superlative coach. She hears the nuances, she understands the subtleties. She helps me see clearly and gain clarity. I've been so impressed with her that I've had her coach several of our executives to help gain organizational alignment. If you are looking for a coach that works with "the whole you" then you really owe it to yourself to talk with Nora."
    — Dave, CEO, Technology
  • "Nora's wholistic approach to coaching and team development make her a valuable partner. While she brings a rich "tool box" of skills, techniques and experiences, I most appreciated her ability to ask probing questions, listen deeply, and uncover new insights and observations - all with the goal of helping her clients reach a higher level of professional and personal fulfillment. I am a better leader, colleague and person because of Nora."
    — Laura, VP, Strategy
  • "If you ever have the opportunity to work with Nora, you are as lucky as I have become. What makes Nora stand out is her ability to dish out tough love. She helps her clients be their best, by getting to know them personally and provides that much needed reality check. Nora is honest and effectively leverages her listening skills to build a relationship based on trust and mutual respect. She also knows how to get her clients to be open to new perspectives."
