coaching

“A leader is a person of unimpeachable character, an individual thoroughly to be trusted. Leaders are open minded, good listeners, flexible, secure in the knowledge that they alone do not have all the answers.”
- Peter Koestenbaum, The Philosophic Consultant

“Because there is no way out of one's inner life,
so one had better get into it.” - Parker Palmer

Developing leaders to foster:

  • mindsets that lead to leadership behaviors

  • strategies for taking their ideas (inner world/insights) and creating action (outer world/outcomes)

  • working out those actions in ways most healthful for themselves and their teams (culture)

  • communicating with clarity for the growth of impact and belonging


LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

Executives, social activists, entrepreneurs, artists and emerging leaders have an often unspoken, but lifelong commitment to personal and professional development.  

The leaders I work with need a safe, confidential, vulnerable container for their very real challenges. Certain decisions cannot be processed effectively with board members or direct reports. Life outside the office does not hit the pause button just because you take on more complexity and responsibility in your career. Navigating the nuanced path of integrity and maintaining your sincere values is a thoughtful, deliberate process and it deserves your time. So, we take a deeper look into the reality of things, into the heart of the person you long to be, even, and especially under pressure. We bring in the skills, tools and resources you need to see the full impact of your purpose.

“Coaches and Consultants are generally ‘trained’ a certain way, but there's a difference between using tactics and embodying a discipline. Jesse embodies the disciplines of coaching and consulting.” - Chief Operating Officer
