Provided executive coaching for a Managing Director of a large professional services agency.

Conducted and utilized feedback from 360 as well as an organizational assessment to develop an Action Plan. Although the Managing Director initially struggled to implement the Action Plan strategies, time was spent reflecting and adjusting to ensure that the Plan was in alignment with his and his stakeholders’ expectations. As a result of coaching, he designed (and began implementation of) an execution schedule as well as ongoing evaluation strategy to measure and promote sustainable change.

Facilitated an 18-month comprehensive strategic planning process for a medical school within a large multidisciplinary health sciences campus and large health system. The strategic planning process included a variety of activities with stakeholder groups designed to identify and evaluate available choices as well as strategizing how to best overcome potential barriers and successfully implement necessary change. Working from the data gathered in the strategic planning process, designed and facilitated sessions to revisit the organization’s current mission to identify gaps as part of a broader, system-wide change management project. Through several team-building exercises, gathered real-time data to challenge the strength of mission through appreciative inquiry and system thinking. As a result of this inclusive program, the revised mission and core values served as the filter for the resulting 5 year strategic plan and priorities.
