Executive Coaching
I am an executive coach for people who want to lead more authentically. When we show up as our best selves, we invite others to do the same. I believe the need for enlightened leaders in these modern times is more important than ever. We need leaders like you who embrace your personal story as part of your leadership narrative and lead from a place of compassion and honesty. The more authentically you lead, the better our workplaces become.
Authentic Leaders Wanted
Organizations are systems – living entities that thrive and grow with human connection, collaboration, and insight. Many companies are structured around an antiquated paradigm of leadership which involves certain rules. Put in your time. Fit the company mold. Leave your personal life at home. Those rules are not what drives innovation in companies, and they don’t allow us to be the change agents we want to be in our organizations and in the world.
To lead dynamic organizations today, we need to bring our entire selves to work. Our personalities. Our passions. Our quirks. There is no ‘work self’ that differs from how we are at home or with our friends and family. We don't have to leave our histories out of the workplace or hide our struggles in the credenza. In fact, being a great leader starts with being our genuine, whole selves.
“Lisa Lee is incredibly talented with her holistic approach to coaching. She not only helps hone your skills to be an effective leader and colleague, but she helps remove the mental and emotional roadblocks that can prevent you from being your best at work and in life. She deeply listens, asks excellent questions, and provides critical feedback. She is honest, direct, and has a gentle approach to holding you accountable. I especially appreciate her sensitivity to how women, such as myself, tend to underestimate who we are, and our value in the work world. She helped me see that I have the skills I need to carry out my work, and helped sharpen them because of her expertise in our shared field of work. She is invaluable. ”
Coaching for Authentic Leadership
Authentic leadership means celebrating your diverse voice and unique perspective. It means owning your story. As your coach, we partner to mine your personal and professional story and harness your creativity and intuition to reach your work goals.
Part of being an authentic leader is leading with kindness, empathy and compassion, the essence of who we are. When challenges arise, you may get derailed and lead from a place of fear, anger, or scarcity. We’ll use mindfulness to help you build emotional awareness and get you back to your center so that you can lead with confidence.
My coaching approach combines strengths-based coaching, cognitive behavioral, mindfulness, emotional intelligence, visualization, and body awareness techniques. If you think executive coaching is for you, contact me to schedule a 30-minute discovery call.
