Executive Coaching for Leaders. We begin with several coaching sessions with a team leader to work on their personal, tactical and strategic outcomes. This initial collaboration with the team leader uncovers the next steps in the process and development of both the leader and their team.

Team Meetings. The leader shares his or her vision for the coming period of growth, and the team works together with the leader and the coach to process both key agreed-upon content along with ground-rules and expectations. Everyone leaves with enthusiasm, a next step and some shared accountability. On-ramp #2 is often repeated quarterly as the team attends to their process and to their shared deliverables. Some examples: Ground rules for new and renewing teams; managing conflict; coaching skills to improve feedback; meeting strategies; consistently getting everyone's best; working with accountability; performance improvement and career development; a leader's personal presence. What does your team need more of? less of?
Introduction to Coaching for Leaders. As clarity grows about the nature and payoffs of coaching skills and presence, this on-ramp brings a fast-paced and interactive 4-hour workshop for up to 50 key leaders and people managers. In this day together, we introduce everyone to the key concepts and vocabulary of coaching as a people manager. Everyone leaves with some enthusiasm, a next step and some shared accountability. Every time we teach one of these workshops, a handful of leaders ask for more. |

Coaching for Leaders, aka, CFL. We select up to thirty-five seasoned volunteers and invite them to meet for ten ninety-minute sessions, usually once a month. And between each of our sessions, these leaders join small groups of fellow participants, led by a veteran SeattleCoach, for practice and mentoring. The result is a little magic.

"Patty is one of the best. High integrity, compassion, spirituality, smarts and keen sense of humor makes her the best coach trainer I’ve ever had the honor to meet. I highly recommend her."
"I'm becoming a better version of myself." "Thank you for answering your calling--and for helping us answer ours." "Thank you for your leadership and influence in coaching and providing strong support, guidance and encouragement! It has made a significant difference in my life, my family and relationships with others." "It's a trick! They have you coach others and you end up coaching yourself!" "You turn people into coaches! How do you do that?!" "What continues to present itself is the wisdom of how you’ve designed this coursework. I didn’t expect to discover and learn what I am. More than the rules and ways of coaching, it is heart and soul + science and framework. I love this mix." "Your style is perfect for me, your wisdom and experience helpful, and you are fun. What more could a student ask?" "As I finish Module II, I think I'm a better coach. I know I'm a better person." "If it weren't for you and your kindness I would not be a coach today. You were the very first person to take the time to explain to me how my talents could be used as a coach." "I see opportunities for the application of my new skills every day." |
"This is so much more than training. I've learned from listening to everyone else in this cohort how to listen to myself better. It's a juicy growth opportunity."
"This training has been a chrysalis. We've all become more than we thought we could be via community." "This work has quietly seeped into all parts of my life." "I love what I do in a way I never imagined was possible." "Thank you, Patty, so much for following your vocation. You've opened up a world of opportunity for other people to find their path. You have created magic." "There are juicy bits to your much layered instruction that usually dawn on me as I drive home. One of the latest was the use of a song to get prepped and in the flow for a coaching session. There’s science behind why this works. You don’t regale us with some of the whys and wherefores but are willing to go down the road when asked. Subtle genius . . . Coaching training with you makes me a better person." "My coaching comes into play daily, as I recognize how I can have better presence, ask better questions and help to make the world a brighter place." "The entire program has been a gift and I will be forever grateful for our thoughtful and quietly transformative sessions. You have dug deep to create something that the world so desperately needs and found ways to empower and encourage more and more of it. What a blessing to have found you and to take part!" "Just got my first coaching contract. I am SO excited and nervous. And so well prepared, thanks to you." |
The members of our company who have completed the program are showing up differently with their teams. They are both 'coaching leaders' and 'coaching team players.'"
"Here's what turns me on: People of compassion acting with courage, connected with their life calling (purpose). One person or team living this way can cascade into their families, friends, colleagues, congregations, neighbors, and fellow citizens." "This has benefitted my entire life." "I have a closer relationship with my teenager." "You can take this stuff and make it your profession. You can also make it your way of living. Date night is better. Parenting is better." "This is so much more than training. I've learned from listening to everyone else in this cohort how to listen to myself better. It's a juicy growth opportunity." "I see opportunities for the application of my new skills every day." "I love what I do in a way I never imagined was possible. It has become aspirational, and I have a sense of calling to it." "Expect as many changes in you as in those you coach! Welcome to this unique practice." I have been thinking lately about how coaching is touching so many parts of my life, and how it makes me better at whatever I do when I show up like a coach. I am truly humbled by the gift of coaching, and I am truly grateful for your guidance and acceptance of me. I love SeattleCoach and I am deeply grateful for your guidance, teaching, coaching and mentoring. |
