Leadership coaching

Coaching for leadership that accelerates performance, builds engagement and brings fulfillment.

Leadership is not a title. It’s the way you shop up every day. You can lead your team and even your life from a place of awareness and intention or let yourself drift. Leadership is also a skill set that includes:

motivating people through empowerment and recognition
guiding people by aligning them around a common goal, coaching them and solving problems
including others by encouraging participation and relationship building

Which one do you want to hone?

Established leader

High-level leadership can feel very lonely.

You crave to deeply connect with the people in your team, but there are certain things you can not say to them, even if you want to. And there are things they would never tell you, irrespective of how passionate they feel about them. Most of the time you hear what people think you want to hear.

I promise to openly tell you what I see. This will help you see better and act in alignment to your goals.

First time leader

You have been chosen from the team and now you need to lead it. That is what you wished for but it also feels like a curse.

A million questions are going through your head: how to position yourself in such a way that you do not lose friends and lead with equity? How to address potential hostilities from other people that were targeting the position? How to lead at all, as you were a great subject-matter expert, who never had to lead before?

Coaching can offer you options to work with.

How leadership coaching can benefit you:

Lead your team with empowerment over control and create space for the strategic topics instead of operational issues.
Increase your influence up and around to get things done effectively or just create your next career move.
Find the courage to act instead of procrastinate over those things, that anyhow occupy a lot of your headspace and capacity.
Be more creative and leverage the diversity and skills of your team instead of trying to make all of them similar.

“I had never worked with a coach before and was introduced to Magda before starting a new executive position. I am a mother of three young children and had been working in Finance at the management/executive level for the past 20 years and decided to leave my existing position to pursue a more prestigious opportunity. I was feeling very overwhelmed in my life and full of doubt before starting this new opportunity. I feared that I wouldn’t be successful in this new position and that my family would suffer as I worked long hours in this new role.

After one session with Magda, she helped me realize why I was hired and that my confidence is a result of doing the job and not a pre-requisite. She helped me see how hard I was being on my self and worked with me to identify some strategies I could use to be successful in the position and create the life I want for myself. I quickly started getting excited to take on the position instead of being fearful.

I continued to check in with Magda every few weeks and I always felt grounded and more confident after each session. I felt like I would start each session with all kinds of thoughts racing through my head and she would do such an excellent job of helping me identify what was within my control and what I could work on to reach my goals. She has a special talent of doing this in a way where she just asks the right questions and it’s so interesting how I was actually the one with the solutions!

I feel like my time with Magda has been life changing. She helped me see how strong I am, the importance of being present, and ultimately the confidence to just be myself. In the end I was successful in my new position, but ended up making a decision to leave it and focus on my family. I did this with confidence and clarity.

I’m in my mid 40’s and have honestly always been a bit skeptical of coaching. However after my experience with Magda, I feel like it’s something everyone can benefit from, and especially women and mothers working in Management positions. I don’t think there is enough support for women and mothers in many corporate environments, especially at the executive level and coaching is a must. I am very grateful I was introduced to Magda and would highly recommend her as a coach.”
