Coaching With Jeff

What I Do

I am coach, advisor, listener, brainstorming partner, whatever meets the need in the moment.

I work with those seeking transformation in their lives or impacted by it. You could be a leader trying to shepherd your organization through a change, a professional or “volunteer” organizational change manager trying to figure out WTF to do with “those people” you work with, or in transition yourself from one place in life to another. I know this shit can be hard and not always what you feel like dealing with, that’s OK.

I’m confident that if we both show up vulnerable and authenticate, steady, present and grounded we’ll get it sorted out.

Who I Work With

• Senior Leaders: I’m pretty sure at some point you’ve had the responsibility of guiding your organization through a change…probably not once but all the friggin’ time. I’ve never worked with a leader who wasn’t up to the task even if they didn’t think so at first. To be a great leader, it’s a core skill. Whether it’s being an effective sponsor of strategic, tactical or enterprise change, finding/building/keeping the right team, connecting and persuading others or just getting yourself out of the way, it’s all part of the mix. I’m here as a coach, thought partner, goal setter, planner, troubleshooter or advisor to help you up your game. I’ll show up for you with both vulnerability and authenticity with a firm intention to form a 1:1, confidential partnership. I want you to leave our relationship feeling like you can successfully lead your organization through change.

• Organizational Change Managers: 20 years ago I was new to this role too; not knowing what the fuck to do, how to move forward or deal with the responses to changes; from leaders, employees, customers or vendors. I know it can feel like a shit-show at times and you’re the star. We’ll work together on sticky situations, planning for change, dealing with resistance, building confidence, getting support, navigating leadership challenges or whatever is you need to navigate what’s coming your way. This is all about partnering so you can show up and do your very best work.

• Personal Change: Not all change is organizational, it’s personal too. If you’re looking at chasing that dream of yours, restarting, rebooting, getting happy, making space, at a fork in the road or maybe, just maybe, getting your shit together for once, let’s talk. I know what it’s like to feel stuck so let’s get unstuck. We’ll figure it out, make a plan and make that change happen so you’re living the life you want.

What YOU CAN Expect

I use an integrated framework that combines the best approaches and principles of leadership coaching, mindfulness and organizational change management; tailoring what’s needed to your specific wishes, desires or objectives. This framework serves you in creating a customized approach to your development; equipping you with the skills, mindset, and strategies needed to guide yourself, your teams and/or your organization. The goal is to build on your skills, values and beliefs to foster adaptability, innovation, and sustained success.

You can expect me to create and hold a safe space where we can confidentially talk about what is going on and you can leave with a clearly defined list of next steps, homework or areas of reflection for us to continue working with the next time we meet.

  • Review or get feedback on any steps you committed to in an earlier session

  • Explore values, perspectives, learnings or limiting beliefs driving you toward or away from where you want to go
