“When Debra and I met I was clear I was looking for Sr. Leadership Coaching. We spent time on what it means to lead from the C-suite, and the engagement was helpful for me beyond the traditional coaching of peers and others’ feedback. The coaching allowed me to grow my scope and responsibilities AND deliver meaningful impact for the company.”
