For an organization, a coaching program can be designed to inspire professionals to enhance their management and leadership capabilities and can also to focus on specific areas when needed. Coaching can be an integral part of a department or an agency-wide development and strategic initiative. In a fast-paced environment, high-performing individuals are expected to have keen technical skills and exhibit strong leadership, ownership, and accountability.

This is where the win-win comes in. A coach understands at your core that you WANT to win. It may be a win in finding a new strength – it may be a win in landing a new job – it may be a win in feeling like your life is worthwhile – it could even be a win to build a super-successful team.

2. Strategic Insight

My Approach

Partnering with people from all levels, I work with them either one-on-one or to collaborate with them and their team, agency, or company to inspire transformation and put in place systems that yield long-term growth. Known particularly for my keen ability to laser in on critical issues with strategy, creative options and a sense of mutual trust and respect, my solutions are responsive, customized and reflective of each client’s needs.  For those who need virtual services, I am very comfortable with this as I have been offering virtual training, coaching, and consulting since 2007. For larger projects, I partner and team with innovative, intentional, and successful subject matter experts and other professionals.

Personal and professional resilience is crucial for development and long-term sustainable success.  Whether resilience is the main focus of consulting or the underpinning – most projects include the essence of resilience building as a componant of the strategy. Another way to view resilience is harnessing the power of adaptability and flexibility to move with the tide, to grow from the crisis or difficult situation, to manage in the face of adversity.

It’s not just about getting past your challenges, but thriving because of them. And success is often resulting from the desire and dedication to be proactive in fostering resilience and smart strategies BEFORE extreme adversity hits.

What is Brand-Centered Sustainability™?

Brand-Centered Sustainability (BCS) – A mindful approach that connects people to inspired, accountable visions and results in attuned, compassionate leadership and healthy growth. While this can be used in any agency or organization, it is often most closely related to strategic culture alignment in nonprofits, social enterprises and mission-focused companies.

 

Brand-Centered Sustainability™ refers to the infusion of the brand essence into all facets of an organization or a person’s life. The brand essence, also considered the meaning behind a person, product or a company. Sometimes even referred to as THE SOUL, or the emotional connection of the brand (personal brand, product or organizational brand) to its stakeholders – staff, vendors, patients, clients and customers.

The brand essence, when integrated into the systems and culture of a team or oganization, is the glue that binds intentions, aspirations and behavior. And when intentions are driven by realistic goals, accountable leadership and inspired visions that connect to the brand – sustainable success can be achieved.

Brand-Centered Leadership contributes to Brand-Centered Sustainability. Looking at leadership, teams and organizations through this lens is also about understanding how to increase and enhance adaptability and flexibility to foster more thn sustainability. It can be used to foster resilience.

BCS© can be applied to any organization, small company or firm and most successfully to double and triple bottom line organizations and cause-focused individuals.

  • Traditional bottom-line = purely financial profits
  • Double bottom-line = people and profits
  • Triple bottom-line = people, planet and profits
