The coaching work from Tina completely blew my expectation. I was hoping for help to improve a single dimension but through rediscovery of how I operate, ended up improving many other dimensions. I am more productive at work, more connected with people, and having more successful outcomes.

The Scenario: Corina, a new role & larger team
Corina was a senior client leader at an financial firm. She was placed into a new role, tasked to lead a larger team and help the group through a major industry shift by identifying new ways to work externally with clients and internally with investment teams.
Her goal was to build confidence to step into her own leadership and take up her authority as a badass leader. We needed to identify how she was holding herself back from playing bigger.
Our Work
Conducted and delivered a qualitative 360º report to identify perceived leadership skills and change issues. Created an action plan to reach the desired goals using a progressive, skills-based approach. Met for regular, bimonthly 1:1 coaching sessions focused on specific real-work situations. Observed client in action and provided real-time, targeted feedback.
The Results
Corina was able to gain greater clarity and confidence in her own leadership approach and learn to adapt her style to build trust with more members of the firm. She forged a relationship with a key partner on the investment side, which strengthened client relationships and retention during a difficult financial crisis.
Corina grew her internal trusted relationships from two to six key players on the senior team, expanding the overall team from five to more than 40. Through this, she shifted her relationship with her boss to become more like peers, which allowed Corina to coach upward more effectively.
