STRONG LEADERS INSPIRE SUCCESS

Leadership coaching

How we help

Leadership is about behavior, not a position. Leadership - particularly for NGOs and international development organizations - is about inspiring people to live the mission and values of the organization. Successful leaders do not just tell people what to do; they empower people to make decisions that support the goals and vision of the organization and spark smarter solutions. 

 

Our job, as leadership coaches, is to bring out the best leader in you and/or your team. We design a customized program targeted to the goals you want to achieve.

Each program is unique, tailored to your priorities and the specific pattern of barriers and constraints that apply to you or your organization. We help you realize your full potential by acting as a resource, sounding board, and partner, providing unbiased feedback and asking questions that spark discussion, provoke thought, and inspire self-reflection.

“Inclusiveness directly enhances performance. Teams with inclusive leaders are 17% more likely to report that they are high performing, 20% more likely to say they make high-quality decisions, and 29% more likely to report behaving collaboratively”

Harvard Business Review

 New Leader
learning new skills and practicing leadership

New leaders focus on basic skills: from developing self-awareness, to learning to motivate others, give feedback, resolve conflict, and motivate employees.

Mid-Level Leader
helping to grow others' capabilities

Once the basic leadership skills are mastered, more mature leaders focus on clarifying their leadership philosophy and building capacity in others.

Executive-Level Leader
effectively directing others' performance and growth

Experienced leaders begin to learn how to drive the big picture, developing leadership skills focused at the organizational, not individual, level.

"I have had the pleasure of working with Sam for a number of years both as a colleague and as a team leader of the FCO’s L&D Experts in the American network. Sam has the ability to connect with individuals at all levels from Ambassadors to interns. Her teams speak very highly of her as a leader – empowering, challenging and supporting them.   I personally have participated in several of her leadership team effectiveness events. These have always been very well designed, allowing participants to bond while also creating a safe environment for challenges to be raised and discussed. Sam is an excellent facilitator – able to do facilitate without interrupting the flow, keeping both pace and interest, and as a coach asks insightful and challenging questions to get to the heart of an issue."
