Supporting leaders on their development journey.
Leadership Philosophy
In the current environment, where uncertainty and elevated complexity have become the norm, the need for strong leadership is more critical than ever. Those who have cultivated the ability to adapt to evolving circumstances, often beyond their control, while leveraging proven leadership practices, will be in the best position to positively impact their organizations.
The skills required to excel as an individual contributor are vastly different than the skills leveraged to lead a team and different still from those needed to inspire an organization. At a senior leader level, personal strengths, misapplied, and possibly unchecked, can result in limiting one’s ability to lead and grow — and can negatively impact business performance. Becoming a strong leader (and maintaining leadership skills) requires awareness, reflection, focus, and dedicated practice. On top of individual applications, when leadership principles are applied and integrated within a team environment, positive outcomes can have an exponential impact.

Client Feedback
“Executive coaching with Judy was a gift and a pleasure. Our weekly conversations were candid, genuine, safe, and constructive. Judy’s curiosity, pragmatism, and guidance helped me to navigate a role transition from both a personal and professional perspective. I was able to reflect on my own capabilities and behaviors and develop additional clarity in working towards my professional goals (a continuous journey)”.

“Judy brought an incredibly valuable set of strategic skills to the table when my team and I relied on her to determine and develop a clear path forward in our multi-year leadership development strategy. She displayed critical thinking, smart questioning, and active listening; comfort with discourse; big-picture thinking without losing sight of how to turn into practical action, and has a strong ability to accurately and efficiently diagnose the root cause of a problem. Her insights were invaluable!”
