Leadership Coaching

What it is:

I coach individuals in leadership positions–either formal or informal– with a focus on identifying and understanding dynamics and systems of power and oppression.  Together, we identify spaces and opportunities for addressing and mitigating those dynamics in service of creating trauma-informed and anti-oppressive cultures.  It’s important to note that coaching is NOT counseling, nor is it intended to replace counseling.

Things you might find me say, ask, offer, invite: 

• What are the power dynamics acting on that?

• What are the group or organizational dynamics at play?

• What is your role in that dynamic?

• What are the societal and community structures that are influencing this?

• Where might this be coming from?

• Who might be most impacted by this?

• What is happening in your system as we explore this?

• What might you do with this?

• Have we given that enough care and attention or is there anything more?

• What is available or present today?

• Have we talked about…?

• I wonder what might happen if…?

• What might it be like if…?

• What are you noticing?

• Where does that come from?

• What’s informing that? ​

• ​Is there anything in particular that you want to take from today’s session with you?
