Paths
I focus most of my coaching on serving CPAs, CFOs, and executives in professional services on the following paths: Career, Promotion, Performance, and Experience.
Career
I’m not going to place you at your next job. I am the call you make before engaging a recruiter.
We’re going to define your next job. And then we’re going to name it. With some crafting, it might be right where you’re at, down the street, or across the globe. I’m not biased to influence your decision, other than to ensure it is the right destination for you. Whether we create a bridge to a better opportunity, or a destination resort you never leave, the return for the investment in coaching on this path is better quality of life, fulfillment and resonance with your values and needs.
Promotion
You may never have planned to climb this far up the leadership ladder in your career. You may have chosen accounting specifically because it offered a clear path without the unpredictability of other fields. Yet, at some point in your career, advancing to the next level will require more than technical skills.
I have personally navigated the challenges of career advancement in accounting. My clients benefit not only from my own hands-on experience, but from comprehensive leadership training, mentoring, and coaching to support and guide them to the next level of their careers.
With my skills and experience as a professional coach, I am an invaluable asset for executive accountants aiming to elevate their careers.
I coach executive accountants to drive their personal growth in leadership, which in turn drives firm growth and success. We will create a roadmap that balances technical expertise with leadership skills, fostering an environment where promotion is a natural outcome. Career development efforts are ongoing processes that can be strategically managed to align with your goals and timeline. I help my clients set these processes to the right pace, ensuring steady career progressions.
The return on an investment in coaching for career advancement is seen through promotions earned, leadership roles take, and professional satisfaction achieved.
Performance
I coach high potentials, whether they are operating on all cylinders or experiencing problems. Executives regularly, for any number of professional or personal reasons, face significant challenges and want a coach to help them align their performance with their potential. And they should, given the heightened pressures and circumstances they are placed in.
Based on my skills, perspective, and experience, I can support a high potential to navigate the influences on their performance and see a clear path forward. You may return to your expected performance, exceed previous expectations as you explore your potential, or do right by yourself and your organization by moving on. It is not my job to retain an executive within an organization. The investment in coaching for a high potential will either provide a significant return with a re-engaged and high performing professional, or decreased cost of time and turnover in transition.
My coaching pays for itself.
Improved Experience
Accounting professionals can thrive in their roles, but not without facing significant challenges. They encounter difficulties that make them question their career in public accounting. Obstacles like burnout, disengagement, being overworked, and lack of fulfillment. With the demanding nature of the profession, seeking coaching to align a professional’s experiences with their potential is a wise choice.
I improve the experience of being a professional in public accounting.
With my expertise, insight, and experience, I guide accounting professionals through the complexities that affect their work life, helping them discover a clear and fulfilling path forward. You may rediscover joy in your role, surpass previous achievements as you explore your capabilities, or get re-engaged with both your professional and personal life. I know how to improve the experience in public accounting, because I’ve done it myself and others.
You can enjoy an improved experience in public accounting, and together we can create it for you.
Crisis
I stick by my clients through thick and thin.
Life can throw curveballs, changeups, or an occasional dump truck in your direction. Urgency can create uncertainty, fear, and chaos, which will influence your decision making. Potentially, you may find yourself reacting to life, relying on hope, rather than being intentional or facing the harsh reality.
In these circumstances, whether it be surrounding a career decision, critical performance deficiency, or life circumstance, I am the coach you bring in. I’ve experienced plenty of crisis in my own career and life, as well as in my clients’ lives, to have developed a perspective, range, and skillset equipped to support you. I have worked with clients in a wide scale of crisis, to see them through and standing tall.
With critical matters, my coaching program becomes fluid. I am available when you need, whether it be weekly meetings, late night phone calls, or in-person meetings, regardless of where you live. I become a lifeline to a better path, and we get real intentional real quick.
There are two things we need to create: Where you are going and how you will get there. Together, we’ll go where you couldn’t go yourself. If you’re committed in forging a path to a worthy destination, contact me.
