Being a civic leader is an elite position of power with immense opportunity for positive social impact. It also comes with a unique set of challenges that are increasingly complex. Resource constraints are real. The gap between public expectations and service capabilities is widening. There is politicking. Trust is sparse. Technology is changing the way we live, work and play – and fast. Plus, being a civic leader can be isolating and unforgiving. In today's world, increased efficiencies - personally, organizationally and systemically - are not only desirable but necessary. Quite often, those who master the internal, take a balanced approach to decision making, authentically mobilize across divides, lead through constant change to meet civic needs and - importantly - demonstrate integrity, vision and trustworthiness, distinguish those who succeed and those who do not.

Seated Civic Leaders
Seated Civic Leadership Coaching is for individuals holding an elected position, administrators, appointed leaders and teams. How do you maintain connection with your energizing aspirations when they are challenged: when road blocks emerge, when loyalty is questioned, when the media misquotes and diverts, when petty politics kill a core initiative? This program offers a process to support your directives while helping you evolve your excellence personally and professionally. |
Situation Specific Sessions
Situational (or Situation Specific) Coaching is a short-term coaching relationship contracted by session. Sessions are structured around a specific objective or overarching question. These sessions help clarify, visualize, focus and develop strategic paths forward for a challenge, capability, issue, project, or decision. These sessions are recommended for civic leaders and teams across the career trajectory. |
