Coach Eileen
What can I do for you?
What is it to really love your work and your life? To thrive, grow, learn, and be the best you can? The demands, flux, and complexity of work and life can sometimes make this challenging, even daunting. I get it! As a coach, I partner with you as you navigate your complexities and opportunities -- and help you discover your ‘better way’ to work and live with more ease, positivity, and efficacy in fulfilling the goals and aspirations most meaningful to you. Becoming a better leader can mean many things. What does it mean for you? How can I be of support?
you can contact me with questions about
-
Be a Better Leader:
- What does it mean to be a better human leader?
- Who am I as a leader?
- What are my strengths and values?
- How can I build a resilient and positive team culture?
- Navigating difficult conversations and relationships?
- Deal with uncertainty and change?
- And enjoy the journey?
-
Manage Overwhelm and Boost Resiliency:
- How do I manage within the volume, pace, flux, and complexity of work?
- How can I stay resilient and help my team be resilient too?
- What tools, strategies, and habits will help me tap into my own innate resilience?
- Note: I wrote the book on Overwhelm – literally (Ease: Manage Overwhelm in Times of Crazy Busy) – and bring loads of support in this terrain.
-
Conversational Intelligence:
- How do I find the right words, approach (and mindset!) to promote trust, foster good relationships, and have those difficult conversations?
- Often the divide from good to great can be in what and how you say, what you don’t. Let’s explore together!
-
Emotional Intelligence (EI & EQ):
- Emotional intelligence is not one thing, it is many things.
- What are my EI strengths?
- Areas for development?
- And how can I put this EI into action for better results in work, life, relationships – and my wellbeing?
-
Career planning:
- How do I figure out what’s next for me in my career?
- How do I ensure I make good decisions?
- How do I start?
- We’ll huddle together on this to help you create your own customized compass so you can choose your next move wisely and in alignment with your values, needs, and aspirations.
THIS IS HOW I WORK
What are your goals, opportunities, aspirations – and challenges? What if you don’t even know yet how to answer that? No worries – that is the first part of our work together. We’ll huddle together to get clarity on what matters most to you and find the most salient starting goals to guide our work. Together, we will chart a path forward that is meaningful and aligned with what you want and need from your coaching journey.
As your partner, I take an inside-out approach. This means we look at both your internal resources and your external context. Who you are from a strengths and values lens; what drives you; brings the best out of you; what are your priorities; what needs some adjustments and attention? We explore better ways to leverage the best in you and to further grow your potential.
We also incorporate your realities in your outer world of work and life and address what needs to be considered and factored in.
Coaching happens over a continuum of conversations. And there’s always the in-between focus and attention you will put on actualizing the work and learning in your own context.
Count on me to bring curiosity, partnership, deep listening with a safe and generous space for you to explore. All this is backed up by a very robust toolkit of resources, past experience, and more!
