Reflections from Coaching clients

Slowing Down

Increased Competency

I realized I had slipped into pace-setting as a leadership style and I actually am a stronger leader when I personally slow down to center myself and give myself time to prepare for interpersonal communications. I appreciate your insights and the way you give space and time before sharing your observations- even when I want you to just tell me what to do!!

Thank you for modeling grounded, centered presence and giving me space to explore and find my way through leadership challenges.

- C.R., Executive Director

Increased Competency

I had been in leadership positions before but felt that I needed some support. It has been helpful through coaching to reflect more regularly on my goals and set aside time and intention to work on them.

I have increased my competency in direct communication and feel less anxious about potentially challenging conversations. I just so appreciate our time together in coaching!

Should I Stay or Go?

Increased Competency

Should I Stay or Go?

I have been struggling with whether I am the right leader for my organization following a year of personal and organizational challenges. I needed assistance thinking through how to approach the situation and move forward in a way that makes sense for myself and for my organization.

I see more clearly now that I am in the driver's seat of my career and that my responsibility for the organization does, in fact, have an end point. Understanding that will help me know how long to stay, and where to go. Althea has been a wonderful resource as I seek to clarify my vision and direction for myself, personally and professionally.

Building Skills

Empeze coaching porque acepte la propuesta de ser codirectora y requeria habilidades que no tenía. Con nuestras sesiones, he notado que tengo la habilidad o capacidad de hacer muchas cosas pero siempre tengo miedo a lo nuevo. Con estas sesiones he logrado perder el miedo y explotar mi capacidad. El trabajo que Althea está realizando es excepcional y ha ayudado mucho a muchas personas.

Supervising Others

Empowering Accountability

Supervising Others

I wanted more support and mentorship as a supervisor so that I could be more effective in my role. I realized I need to do to adapt my supervision style depending on the person I’m working with. I'm now better able to motivate team members to find their own solutions. I'm continuing to ask further questions to get more understanding of what people are expressing or experiencing. Your coaching helps keep me on track as well as providing good modeling of one way to embody the coaching role. Thank you for all your support!!

Focus on Wellbeing

Empowering Accountability

Supervising Others

The past year has been challenging for me and I wanted the support of a coach to refocus my intentions for wellbeing. The ongoing intentionality that the coaching kicked off was absolutely necessary for me. The accountability aspect of coaching is always useful and beneficial—again, for reflection and continuity of intention as I ‘hold’ the goals in mind toward a reporting deadline.

- R.C., Operations Director

Empowering Accountability

I started coaching because I feel like I have so much to continue to learn and the desire and need to develop better work habits. The process was a reminder of how nice it is to have someone that you are accountable to for your progress. I now have started a vision/plan for more consistent dedicated work patterns. I was surprised by Althea's sense of empowering empathy and kindness. It was great to work with a coach that was calming and did not have any sense of judgement. She truly embodies “coach” in all the best ways.
