EXECUTIVE & LEADERSHIP COACHING

For the young professionals who want to have impact in their careers and leadership, intention in their work and life, and clarity in their evolution and purpose.

Does any of this sound familiar?

✓ I’m navigating a transition - into the working world, a leadership role, or a new relationship with work.

✓ I’m stuck in a pattern that I want to break out of. Something needs to shift.

✓ My team has so much potential, but we can’t get out of our own way.

✓ I want to have clarity about my values and to lead with alignment to them.

✓ Whenever there’s conflict, our team culture gets worse.

✓ I’m struggling with confidence.

✓ I feel lost.

You’re in the right place.

I work with young professionals in both individual and group settings to navigate challenges, transitions, and evolutions. Together, we set clear and actionable goals, work to build deeper and broader awareness and perspectives, and design plans grounded in choice and change.

THE COACHING PROCESS

  • 01 / UNDERSTANDING

    Coaching is an opportunity to pause, deepen your self-awareness, and start making choices with intention. For people new to coaching, it’s critical to understand that coaching is not mentoring, advising, or therapy. Good coaches will not tell you what to do - they will ask provocative questions that help you determine this for yourself. Through awareness and goal-setting, coaching will anchor you in the present and the future, unlike therapy which tends to focus on the past.

  • 02 / FOUNDATION

    Coaching engagements start with the building of strong foundations - for our relationship and your goals. Coaching won’t be effective if there isn’t trust, safety, communication, and a deep understanding of what the relationship is. We take time to get to know one another and build a space in which you can be honest, reflective, and open to new perspectives.

  • 03 / AWARENESS

    Across a coaching engagement and within each session, I ask thought-provoking questions, offer observations, and reflect back things you’ve said. Through this process, you will build breadth and depth of understanding of yourself - how you think, act, and feel, and why you do. This expansion of self-awareness creates opportunities for you to change.

  • 04 / ACTION

    Coaching is grounded in action. At the end of each coaching session, we take time for you to build a meaningful action plan - what you want to accomplish, observations you want to make, or experiments you want to try, all based on the self-awareness you worked to build. We explore obstacles you may face, what you’ll do when they arise, and what accountability measures you’d like to put in place.

  • 05 / ITERATION

    Over the course of a coaching engagement, we’ll cycle through awareness and action many times and often across various contexts. You will learn about yourself through the work you do outside of our coaching sessions, and you’ll bring that awareness back to our work together. You can think of a coaching engagement as a spiral staircase - each session is one rotation of the stairs that elevates your growth, and the whole engagement is the culmination of several rotations that elevate you to the next level.

HEY, I’M ABBIE.

I was your quintessential oldest-sibling-people-pleasing-growth-oriented-move-a-million-miles-an-hour-hyper-achiever. And then I realized I was addicted to chaos and needed to slow down. I became a certified coach, and now I work with young professionals, leaders, and teams to help them navigate challenges, enhance their performance, and make sustainable change. My work supports a variety of professional and personal growth, including confidence, presence, and leadership skills throughout several stages of life, from the transition into the workforce to leading a team for the first time. Typically, coaching is done by and focused on older executives. My thinking: Why wait? So much changes, including us, between college and mid-life. Why not be intentional about becoming who we want to be while navigating that evolution?

FAQs

  • Coaching is a process and relationship that is motivated by change, grounded in action, and driven by exploration. Coaches ask thought-provoking questions that help you build awareness, perspective, and understanding, and then work with you to design a plan of action rooted in the insights you gain. Goal-setting and goal-pursuit are critical parts of coaching, both because they help you move through a challenge and because they help illuminate other important growth areas along the way.

  • My work supports a variety of both professional and personal growth for individuals and teams, including confidence, presence, and leadership skills throughout several stages of life, from the transition into the workforce to leading a team for the first time. A client may want to work through a leadership challenge, build conflict resolution skills with a peer, or discuss parenting strategies. I’m here for it all.

  • Everyone has different criteria for what they want in a coach, but it’s important to note that a good coach for you is one with whom you connect. Trust and safety are critical in a coaching relationship, so you should feel like you can have honest conversations and like your coach will both support you and push you throughout the process.

    It’s also important to note that a good coach may not necessarily have a background similar to yours - that’s okay. This isn’t critical for building perspective or expanding thinking. If you sense it is important to you, you may think about getting a mentor or advisor instead.

  • I typically coach young professionals - individuals and teams - in high-intensity corporate careers, from the internship phase (sophomore summer) through the first few years of leading a team for the first time. If you don’t fit this profile, it doesn’t mean that I wouldn’t be a good coach for you - the methodology I was trained in is applicable to many demographics. Reach out anyway, and if I’m not the best fit, I can help find someone who is.

  • Coaching engagements can be structured in a variety of ways - number of sessions, number of months, or total duration. I tend to offer 6- and 10-session packages with 2- and 4-session extensions but can adjust to whatever my client needs.

  • I meet with clients at any cadence from twice a week to once a month. The frequency of meetings depends on the client’s needs and the duration of the engagement, and it’s always a balance of maintaining momentum while allowing time for the practical work that happens outside our sessions to be done. Sessions last between one and two hours, with team sessions tending toward being two hours. Clients may have sessions of varying frequencies and durations within their engagement.
