I’m a Director, a Manager, a Leader

Higher education can be challenging for anyone in a leadership role. On the one hand, learning institutions are full of forward-thinkers and innovators, passionate about driving societal and intellectual progress. They are creative minds with big visions for their fields and institutions. On the other hand, these institutions are rooted in traditions and systems that slow down rapid bureaucratic and cultural change. Their practices, rituals, and focus on brand promotion often prioritize stability over innovation and status quo over initiatives. This means leaders are caught between the progressive ideals of those they aim to inspire and the conservative nature of the institution.

Leaders often find themselves at a crossroads. They usually start full of ideas, see growth opportunities, and are ready to make changes. They want to bridge the gap between academia and the fast-paced external world—whether in technology, industry, or social spheres. However, their aspirations can feel stifled, leading to misalignment, disillusionment, unfulfillment, and a sense of being stuck.

Developmental coaching helps leaders, directors, and managers develop the skills and maturity to effectively engage with current and future challenges. This type of coaching emphasizes long-term engagement with emergent goals and evolving objectives. It focuses on personal growth and development, emphasizing inner strengths rather than external skills. This shift from merely achieving to becoming is fundamental to this coaching philosophy. By focusing on essential components of personal growth, our partnership will help you move from where you are now to where you aspire to be.

Self-Assessment and Reflection

I encourage you to reflect on your current work challenges and self-assess your performance. This process helps identify the gap between perceived and expected achievements, fostering a deeper understanding of your strengths and areas for improvement.

Long-term Engagement and Evolving Goals

This type of coaching emphasizes a long-term engagement with emergent goals and evolving objectives.

We aim for permanent change rather than quick fix.

Practical Changes and Emotional Management

My coaching helps you make practical changes in your work environment, manage emotional pressure, and adjust your understanding and reactions to the world. This holistic approach ensures that you are well-equipped to handle the complexities of your roles.

Comprehensive Growth

Developmental coaching goes beyond performance metrics to address broader concerns such as work-life integration, career progression, value alignment, and institutional political dynamics.

Authenticity

I support you in realizing your latent potential, enabling you to contribute to your organization significantly. This process nurtures authentic leadership, emphasizing that the journey is as important as the goals.

Connection

Free initial online meeting

Let’s kick things off with a casual chat! What we call a discovery or chemistry call! Think of it as a free 30-minute online meet-and-greet. It's the perfect time for us to get to know each other and for me to get a feel for who you are and what you're aiming for. We’ll discuss what’s on your mind, set the stage for great teamwork, and ensure we’re a good fit.

For managing Discovery sessions, I use the Calendly website. Easy to navigate, although it is only available in English, it allows you to schedule appointments.
