Leadership Coaching That Actually Helps Managers Succeed

Whether it’s a first-time team lead or a stretched-thin department manager, too many smart, capable people are thrown into leadership without the support they need to thrive. That’s where I come in.

I coach managers at two key stages:

  • New Managers who are stepping into leadership for the first time

  • Mid-Level Managers who are stuck between demands and decisions, and need a clear path forward

This service is ideal for:

  • HR professionals and business owners who want to invest in strong internal leadership

  • Managers themselves who want tools, confidence, and strategy—not just advice

Coaching for New Managers

From “What am I doing?” to “I’ve got this.”

Being a first-time manager can feel like walking a tightrope with no net. You want to support your team, but you're unsure of the rules, your authority, or how to actually lead. That self-doubt? It’s normal. That isolation? It’s avoidable.

 

What we work on:

  • Building confidence in your unique leadership style

  • Learning to communicate clearly and decisively

  • Navigating the shift from peer to leader

  • Managing overwhelm and building emotional stamina

  • Setting healthy boundaries early—so you don’t burn out

 

Ideal For:
New managers, team leads, or solo contributors stepping into leadership roles for the first time.

Coaching for Mid-Level Managers

the shoes and tie of a budding executive

Own your role. Advocate for your work. Lead with clarity.

Mid-level leaders are the glue that holds organizations together—and they’re often pulled in every direction at once. You’re responsible for results, but rarely given the autonomy or clarity to lead effectively. You’re ambitious, but the path forward feels murky.

What we work on:

  • Self-advocacy and influence without burnout

  • Defining your scope, role, and expectations

  • Project ownership and strategic visibility

  • Managing up and down at the same time

  • Balancing leadership demands with a real life outside of work

Ideal For:
Established managers looking to level up, reset, or finally feel in control of their leadership path.

Managers are under-supported. You don’t have to leave them hanging.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can my company pay for this?

Yes. Many of my clients are referred or sponsored by HR or senior leadership. I’m happy to invoice the company directly and can provide documentation or summaries as needed.

What’s the difference between coaching and training?

Training gives you information. Coaching helps you apply it. In our sessions, we focus on your specific situations, challenges, and goals—so you walk away with strategies that actually stick.

Can you help with performance issues or team dynamics?

Yes. If you’re a business owner or HR manager concerned about a team’s effectiveness—or an individual struggling with a difficult team—I can help navigate communication challenges, role expectations, and practical next steps.

Do you offer workshops or team sessions?

On a case-by-case basis, yes. If you’re looking for something beyond 1-on-1 coaching, let’s talk about what your team needs. I’m open to custom engagements.

How long is a coaching engagement?

It depends. Some clients book a few focused sessions to tackle a specific challenge. Others work with me over several months to grow in their role. I offer one-off sessions, 4-session packages, and custom programs for businesses.

Is this confidential?

Absolutely. Whether you come as an individual or through your employer, our conversations are private unless we agree otherwise. Managers need a safe space to think out loud and strategize—that’s what I provide.

"What really stood out was his ability to balance practical strategy with emotional intelligence. He didn’t offer cookie-cutter advice; instead, he tailored his guidance to fit my personality, my values, and the realities of my work environment."
