Frequently Asked Questions About Leadership Coaching

Former clients have described me as a blend of an executive coach and a life coach because we focus on personal growth and professional development. Many of the core coaching aspects are similar. This blend of coaching helps you get “unstuck” and identify what you really want – with an emphasis on energy and growth as a leader.

Years of coaching and being coached by others taught me one very important thing – our personal and professional lives are connected. Creating a safe space to explore this notion is crucial. As a leader, you need someone to listen and empower you to verbalize the exact thoughts and feelings holding you back. It’s the key to understanding yourself and moving forward with purpose.

I help you connect these two worlds, so you can arrive at a place of authentic confidence as a leader. This propels you into alignment with your deepest desires – and that’s when true change transpires.

I LOVE coaching and its impact. But it’s not just about that. It’s about creating a space for emerging and seasoned leaders to find their footing, regain confidence, and feel empowered to lead authentically. To propel them towards continual awareness and growth – personally and professionally.

I’ve seen it change my own life (and the life of my clients) so I know it works.

So many people tell me they see themselves in my story. This drives my sincere commitment to help mid-to-late-career professionals pause, remember what they really want, and go get it!

By giving myself the permission to slow down and use counterintuitive thinking, I’ve been propelled into a world of more connection, community, and support. The healthier, happier, and more mindful I am, the more fulfillment and success is invited into my life, my career, my relationships, and so on.

It’s a pretty beautiful thing – and as a leadership coach, I get to help you unlock the power to do the same.

It's less about your job title and more about your attitude and drive.

Meaning, I work with leaders eager to break free from the norm and define success on their own terms.

That said, I've helped professionals across a variety of industries within an array of company types, including growth stage start-ups to global ad agencies to long-established automobile and insurance companies.

Here’s a shortlist of those I’ve worked with:

EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP
Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Executive Creative Director, Entrepreneur, and Founder

DEPARTMENT LEADERSHIP
Senior Vice President, Vice President of Creative, Vice President of Product Management, Group Account Director, Managing Director, Marketing Director, Senior Leadership & Talent Development Partner, Regional Sales Director, Senior Partner, Regional Planning Lead

TEAM LEADERSHIP
Senior Director of Product Marketing, Director of Strategy, Director People Operations, Director of Supply Chain, Director of Client Services, Creative Director, Associate Director of Development, Marketing Operations Lead, Manager of People Strategy, Team Lead of Software Engineering

Regardless of your job title, the root of our work together is the same. It all comes back to a lack of clarity around your unique leadership style causing a sense of overwhelm and confusion.

You’ll have the benefit of working with a coach who’s:

♦ Grounded in a credentialed foundation

♦ Has a diverse and strategic awareness

♦ Offers a unique perspective to guide and support you

Plus, each coaching engagement is personalized to address your unique leadership style as it pertains to your job title, personal life, and core values. Your profession is relevant, but it’s not the core of our work together.

You'll find having a coach familiar with multiple industries allows you to gain a fresh perspective and actually gives you the advantage of pulling insights from industries you may not be familiar with.

I have numerous certifications, qualifications, and experience to support my work and my process as a leadership development coach.

I’m a Professional Certified Coach (PCC). This is a certification awarded by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) through a rigorous and extensive process. A PCC has 125+ training hours, 500+ hours of coaching experience, and is only certified based on ethical codes and best practices to serve you as a client.

I’ve also earned three designations from the Institute of Excellence in Coaching (iPEC):

• ICF-accredited Certified Professional Coach (CPC)

• Core Energy Coach

• Energy Leadership Index Master Practitioner (ELI-MP)
*More specifically, the ELI-MP certification gives me the authority to administer the Energy Leadership Index (ELI) which is a powerful assessment that evaluates your energy/action level in your attitude and perception of the world. This information creates a pathway as your leadership development coach to help you create sustainable change.

My Masters of Business Administration (MBA) also plays a large role in my coaching style with strategic approaches, frameworks, and techniques. Paired with my professional experience as a business-to-business marketer, communicator, and new business developer, my clients gain a unique perspective on the internal and external messages we receive as a society.

I’ve been in the thick of it from every angle. And I’m honored to have used these same skills to break through the rules and false messages in my own life.

I’m here to shine a light and encourage you to give yourself permission for a fresh start.

Leadership development coaching is for people who are 110% committed and ready to explore uncharted territory. It’s not about your title, it’s about your drive and commitment to bettering yourself in all areas of life. My coaching process provides revolutionary change as all your walls come crashing down – opening up space for what’s actually important to you.

Please know I am very selective in who I work with. It needs to be an energetic match. This ensures the co-creation of a safe and trusted space to get transformative results.

Fill out the contact form to get started and see if we’re a good match.

Nope! This call is for people who reach out to me and are interested in exploring coaching. There is no cost, but I do require personal reflection and due diligence before the call. This includes your responsibility to review the JB Coaching offerings, FAQ page, and client testimonials. I also encourage you to consider why you’re ready for a coach.

No, it’s a complimentary call for us to get a feel for each other and see if we’re an energetic fit.

While it is free of charge, I do ask that you prepare prior to our call by taking some time to reflect and research on what brought you here and what you hope to get out of working together.

When you’ve done your part, we can spend the majority of our call talking about what brought you here, where you want to go, and why you’re ready to commit. This also gives you space to ask any further questions you have. We’ll spend the last 15-minutes coaching so you leave with a sense of what it's like to get coached, a feel for my style, and even a few insights and forward-moving actions.

The Core Energy Coaching approach is about coaching from the inside out – that’s where invisible blocks fester. I help tap into your inner purpose and passions to connect them with your outer world. This energy-focused method creates extraordinary results and sustainable transformation.

I use the Energy Leadership Index (ELI) to supplement our work together. This attitudinal assessment is vastly different from the standard personality tests often used in coaching. The ELI is based on an energy/action model that measures energy based on your attitude and perspective. This type of information provides us with actionable insights and feedback.

You’ll learn about the 7 levels of energy leadership and how much energy you have in the catabolic-suppressing range and in the anabolic-inspirational range. And since attitude is subjective, it can be altered. So, we’ll work together to help you show up as an authentic leader – one who honors and pursues their dreams as they evolve.

Being true to yourself and aware of the energy you bring leads you into a wildly fulfilling professional and personal life. Let’s Chat!

Breaking out of who you think you're supposed to be and stepping to you who you authentically are as a leader and a human. You’ll be comfortable in your own skin. You’ll enjoy more fulfillment, balance, and joy in life and work.

Yes, I encourage curiosity! Please visit my client testimonial page and read them all. See which ones you’re drawn to and I’ll gladly put you in contact with those individuals.

Each of my clients are unique. You have unique challenges, goals, energies, and talents. That's why I use a personalized approach that's tailored to you and your goals. With that being said, the length of the coaching process and the time it takes to cultivate the results you're looking for varies.

My advice?

Lean in. Trust the process and you’ll begin to witness a shift every session. Awareness is the first step to change. The more you uncover, the more tools you have to work towards your desired change – big or small. It’s in these shifts, serendipitous occurrences, and “aha” moments that clients gain traction toward their goals.

You’ve got this!

Stay committed. Show up for your calls. Do the work. Reflect intentionally. Focus.

You’re guaranteed to move forward from where you’re stuck if you’re all-in. When it comes to leadership development coaching, you get out of it what you put in. Trust the process and you’ll begin to witness a shift with every coaching session. You’ll start gaining clear intuition for what’s next in your journey.

I love this question and ask in response… if you had to put a value on your desired outcome what would it be? What is the investment worth?

Many clients share that the value they receive is beyond monetary value (some might say priceless).

Our sessions are a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space for you to process and reflect on your personal growth and professional development, guided by a certified leader who is your advocate and truly believes in you. You can’t find that anywhere else.

It’s a proven transformation process – check out the many testimonials from the clients I’ve had the pleasure of coaching.

→ We start with a Get Acquainted Call to see if we’re a fit. If our partnership feels aligned, we’ll move forward.

→ You’ll choose a package and decide if you’d like to take the Energy Leadership Index (ELI) assessment (recommended for new clients).

→ You’ll take some time to discern your intentions, goals, and potential barriers to success before launching into our first session.

→ From there, we’ll meet weekly for your first 3 to 4 coaching sessions. Sessions are 45-minute video or phone calls.

→ After the first few sessions, we take a pulse of your progress and move to bi-weekly calls if it feels appropriate. It’s up to you and what you want. You drive the agenda and I hold you accountable.

As the client, you come to each call with the topic for discussion. Sometimes you’ll choose ahead of time, and sometimes it will evolve naturally. We’ll discuss why and how you can define success beyond the status quo through your actions and mindset.

→ We close with an insight, action, and accountability plan. From there, the options to stay involved are endless. I also offer membership programs that give you access to ongoing leadership development content, a community to connect with on these topics, and exclusive group coaching programs.
