After I began working with a new startup company, I found myself struggling trying to break through to my co-workers. We all came from very diverse cultures and the skills that I had - although strong in my previous workplace - had some gaps. Theresa really helped me understand the cultural obstacles, maximize my strengths and give me the confidence to let others do the same.

Life is all about transition. Several years ago, there was a Statler Brothers song which said, Life gets complicated when you get past eighteen.
I think we would all agree that is true.
Careers goals often conflict with our relationship goals. The pressures of the culture create confusion about who we are and what we want. Aging parents need full time care. Adult children leave home. Adult children come back home. Friends come into and go out of our lives. Some people are particularly difficult. Sometimes those people happen to be our spouse, our children, other members of our families as well as friends and co-workers. Our health, our faith, our relationships ebb and flow throughout the years. While change is inevitable, growing through these times must to be intentional.
Coaching is uniquely designed to help people make sense of the transitions in their lives, to navigate new pathways and access new tools for the journey. In a coaching situation, we explore possible options, develop strategies, identify obstacles and help you move to a place of confidence and contentment.

Theresa was able to provide insight and direction beyond that which I could reach in my own musings. Because she communicated that she really cared for me, she was able to ask the difficult and challenging questions that have taught me how to love and care for myself in a new way, enabling me to love others with strength and confidence.

Those who have been given the gift of leadership soon recognize that it comes with a heavy price tag. The responsibilities given to leaders often channel them into paralyzing isolation. When there is little opportunity to process and with so much on their plates, leaders can easily default to being driven by the tyranny of the urgent.
Today the best leaders have personal coaches. It has been told that before Alan Mulally took over as President and CEO of the Ford Motor Company, he worked through precisely what he would take to the Board of Directors with his coach. It was the help of his coach that gave him the precision of his presentation. The end result of his continuing work has been his ability to turn Ford back around towards profitability.
As a partner in leadership a coach brings a variety of tools to help leaders understand and strengthen the individual and/or teams, develop a high capacity force, clarify vision and prepare succession plans. By providing additional and customized training to the workplace, a leader can expect to increase trust and reduce conflict creating a smoother running system. .
While all of these pieces are critical to the success of an executive, a skilled coach will keep in mind the personal challenges leaders often face, help her/him regain a sense of resiliency and create a plan for moving forward.

Theresa stepped into my life at a time when I felt alone in my leadership. Her pointed questions and presence with me led me to new self-discoveries that have transformed the way that I lead my team. I am in the beginning phases of opening a private counseling practice, and I look forward to Theresa's coaching in this area for a strong beginning.
