Executive Sponsors

Executive sponsors are committed to investing in the leadership capacity needed to achieve sustainable impact, recognizing that strong, well-supported leaders are fundamental to programmatic success. Executive Sponsor often ask:

  • What are the measurable outcomes expected from this investment?

  • How will the coaching process be structured, and what specific leadership competencies will be addressed?

  • What credentials and proven methodologies does the coach bring to ensure effective impact?

  • How will progress be evaluated and reported back to the organization throughout the engagement?

I will gladly help you navigate these valid concerns. I am committed to supporting your goals, even if I am not the right fit for the individual leader. I will gladly recommend a trusted colleague or who might be the right fit you are seeking.

  • Lived Experience

    I have held executive leadership positions in successful nonprofit organzitions for 25 years. I have also spent 25% of my time over the last decade consulting with other organizations and coaching individual leaders.

    I understand the need and the impact of healthy and unhealthy leadership within organizations. I am passionate about creating flourishing organizations and leaders.

  • Leadership Insight

    I have personally worked with a leadership coach for more than a decade and continue that practice even as I now coach dozens of executive leaders myself.

    I actively pursue personal leadership development and have obtained certifications in multiple leadership coaching frameworks, including 5 Voices and 5 Voices for Teams. These valuable tools are designed to extend beyond my direct coaching relationship, creating lasting impact for the leaders I work with.

  • Team Dynamics and Leadership Skillset

    Research consistently shows that leaders who invest in their own development deliver stronger organizational outcomes. A study by the Center for Creative Leadership found that organizations with strong leadership development programs were 1.8 times more likely to be in the top 20% of financial performance in their industry.

    Executive sponsors who invest in leadership development for their organizations create a powerful multiplier effect, as these strengthened leaders develop others around them, creating sustainable organizational growth.
