They know it creates the kind of impact that can’t always be quantified in terms of numbers, but can be felt in terms of impact. It inspires team members in the moment, and also influences their behaviors far down the line, creating a ripple effect that can echo throughout an organization and beyond.
Unfortunately, leaving a legacy is more challenging than it seems.
As leaders, we are expected to have all the answers. We’re expected to know what to do. And we struggle with how to bridge the gap between the leader we are currently being and the one we aspire to be.
We know that before we can help others reach that next level, we need to do it for ourselves. And that means having a place where we can grow as a leader.

I have worked with a few different coaches, but none have held a candle to my executive coach’s ability to connect, create a safe space, and successfully hold the mirror to reflect back the essence of what I was saying. She was especially gifted at digging out what was beneath the surface of my words. I was able to have breakthroughs I had struggled to get to with other coaches for years.
My executive coach challenged my negative thinking and habits, helped me to visualize my future, and guided me to increase my self-confidence. She was extremely compassionate yet direct and thoughtful in her approach. I found her coaching style to be authentic, non-judgemental, and highly effective.
I can’t tell you how much better I feel about everything whenever I walk out of a session with my executive coach. Challenges that seemed hard just fall away, and I walk out with a sense of purpose and possibility.
I have worked with a few different coaches, but none have held a candle to her ability to connect, create a safe space, and successfully hold the mirror to reflect back the essence of what I was saying. She was especially gifted at digging out what was beneath the surface of my words. As a result, I was able to have breakthroughs I had struggled to get to with other coaches for years.
My coach has a fantastic way of seeming to “summarize” my thoughts and feelings and was immediately able to articulate the challenge I was describing or why I was struggling with a particular situation. She was always present and focused on me, asking probing, thoughtful questions without directing me down one particular path. She didn’t allow me to take anything lightly, didn’t avoid asking challenging questions, which helped me explore all the things that were helpful for me to think through. She was also fantastic at relating similar experiences – or remembering things I had shared in previous sessions and bringing those forward to ‘connect the dots” and point out patterns or different ways of viewing a situation which was always helpful and insightful.
My executive coach challenged my negative thinking and habits, helped me visualize my future, and increased my self-confidence. She was extraordinarily compassionate yet direct and thoughtful in her approach. I found her coaching style authentic, non-judgmental, and highly effective.
My executive coach quickly understood what I was looking for and how I operate by asking me a series of questions. She would then call me out on things I might gloss over that were actually patterns or getting in my way. She also shared some examples from other areas and her own experiences, and it often helped me to feel more confident that I’m not the only one.

Working as a leader isn’t for the faint of heart. After learning from experience for several
years leading teams in sales, marketing, product management and professional development arenas, Beth had a well-developed point of view on what it takes to be an effective leader. Most people come to work wanting to do a good job but are often not prepared for the roles they are promoted into. Do you remember your own experience with transition? Perhaps something like, “Congratulations! Off you go.” There should be more to developing executive potential than on-the-job training!
Beth knows there is a better way to ensure leaders are constantly evolving their strengths
to grow with the larger roles they aspire to lead from. Professional growth isn’t a check box on a to-do list. Professional Growth requires introspection self-awareness, vulnerability, and humility. In her coaching work she brings an open and welcoming mind to each of her clients, with a positive assumption regarding their capability to learn and grow. It may sound simple, but clients often find it daunting to step into the unfamiliar. Doing so is usually part of every executive’s growth journey.
As a credentialed coach Beth has worked with a broad range of executives from a wide range of industries. The common denominator is their humanness, while their differences come from life experience, personalities, and belief systems. They come to coaching with a desire to achieve their potential, and the recognition that they aren’t there yet. Leaders can find it difficult to see the span between intent and impact. As a coach, Beth challenges her clients to see things with a variety of perspectives. There’s always more than one right answer, and sometimes it’s not going to be yours. And that’s ok.
