My Distinct Approach: Positive Psychology, A Culture of Belonging, and Sustainable Impact

While many coaches focus solely on individual development, my methodology is built on a holistic, evidence-based framework that drives organizational effectiveness and prioritizes team connection. My approach ensures that individual growth directly translates to tangible business improvement:

1. Strengths-Based Clarity: We begin by using coaching sessions, infused with elements of positive psychology, to define your desired goals. This approach focuses on leveraging your existing strengths and analyzing the underlying cultural or systemic roadblocks hindering your success.

2. Managerial Impact Focus: My doctoral research, based on the importance of workplace belonging, is foundational to my practice. We focus on how you, the leader, can intentionally adjust behaviors and strategies to create a deep sense of psychological safety and belonging within your team.

3. Organizational Change Framework: I partner with you using a proven framework for organizational change that provides a holistic roadmap for improving business outcomes. This system ensures that the cultural transformation is sustainable and meaningful.

4. Cultural Enablement: Coaching sessions serve a dual purpose—to clarify goals and to support you through the necessary cultural alignment that will enable your team and organization to achieve the business results you seek through a more engaged and connected workforce.

Executive Coaching Expertise: Technical Leadership and the Defense Industry

I support anyone leading a team of people to achieve a goal, but my extensive background in highly demanding, technical fields makes me uniquely qualified to serve a specific clientele: I am exceptionally well-suited to work with leaders in technical roles supporting government programs, particularly within the engineering and defense industries.

My deep, firsthand experience allows me to quickly grasp the unique challenges faced by technical leaders: complex regulatory environments, mission-critical deadlines, stakeholder management, and the need to scale high-performing technical teams. I speak the language of engineering, people and project management, enabling us to move past foundational theory directly into practical, impactful strategy built on a foundation of strong team culture.

The Systems-Coaching Framework (SCF) for Executive Results

To drive predictable and sustainable outcomes, I utilize my original Systems-Coaching Framework (SCF). This unique methodology blends the structured, rigorous analysis of Systems Engineering with the transformative, human-centered focus of coaching:

• 1. Requirement Definition (Coaching): We define the critical outcomes (requirements) that are currently unmet, ensuring absolute clarity and alignment across all stakeholders.

• 2. Holistic System Analysis (Engineering): We analyze the entire organizational system—processes, culture, team structures, and leadership behaviors—to identify the root cause of the performance gap, not just the symptoms.

• 3. Iterative Design & Implementation (Engineering & Coaching): We design, implement, and evaluate iterative solutions (new leadership behaviors, communication systems, cultural adjustments) to find a unique solution that works for you and your organization.

• 4. Verification and Validation (Results): Coaching ensures the new behaviors and cultural shifts are validated against the original business requirements, guaranteeing sustainable, measurable results and achieving the desired system optimization.

This framework ensures your leadership development is treated not as a soft skill upgrade, but as a mission-critical system upgrade—rigorous, measurable, and essential for success.
