Leadership Coaching

At My Life’s Work, a leader’s ability to engage in his/her work and with his/her direct reports is at the cornerstone of our leadership coaching practice.

While coaching may generally address:

  • areas of both skill competency as well as skill development related to the leader’s specific work responsibilities,
  • interpersonal relationships that are important to his/her credibility and effectiveness, and
  • natural style and everyday behaviors and their fit within the organization’s culture,

we place particular emphasis in our work on:

  • emotional intelligence,
  • written/oral communication skills,
  • inclusive management,
  • change management and/or,
  • performance management and individual development planning.

Our work with leaders spans many different organizational environments and roles within an organization.  We have particular interest and expertise coaching:

  • Human resource professionals who are charged with building the systems and programs that support overall workforce achievement and engagement
  • High-achieving working moms who seek unparalleled success and satisfaction in their roles at the office and at home.  In 2008, My Life’s Work in partnership with MLP Partners launched a group-coaching program for working moms entitled Working MAMA.  Click here for more information how you can participate in or sponsor a Working MAMA group.

I had the pleasure of working with Mimi for a span of 10 coaching sessions across the second half of 2008. During that time, Mimi helped me to root cause a number of the challenges that I was facing in my role and devise creative strategies for surmounting or working around these challenges. Mimi is a phenomenal professional of tremendous honesty and integrity who has a gift for helping even seasoned leaders navigate professional obstacles. Her understanding of personal motivations and the intricacies of corporate environments is unmatched. I would highly recommend her to business leaders who are looking for that extra “boost” to help them succeed.
