Executive Coaching FAQs

Are you new to coaching? This section covers the basics, explaining executive coaching, who it’s for, and the powerful benefits it can provide for your career and leadership.

Executive coaching is important because leadership can be isolating, especially in an operational role. A great coach provides a confidential, unbiased sounding board to help you see new perspectives, challenge your own assumptions, and hold you accountable to your goals. It’s a dedicated space to work on your leadership, not just in your business.

Effective executive coaching can help you achieve significant results, including:

  • Developing strategies to manage your energy and prevent burnout.
  • Gaining clarity on your role and strategic priorities.
  • Developing stronger communication and partnership skills, especially with a visionary CEO.
  • Building foundational systems for things like project management and team accountability.
  • Improving your ability to lead, delegate, and provide feedback to your team.
  • Increasing your confidence and overcoming challenges like imposter syndrome.

Typically, executive coaching is a partnership that takes place over a set period, like my 12-week one-on-one program. It involves regular, confidential sessions focused on your specific goals. Through deep listening, powerful questions, and tailored frameworks, we’ll uncover obstacles and co-create actionable plans. Between sessions, you’ll work on implementing these plans, and we’ll review your progress together.

Executive coaching is for leaders who are open to self-reflection, willing to be challenged, and committed to growth. It’s for individuals who recognize that their leadership has a direct impact on the company’s success and are ready to invest in developing their skills and mindset to reach the next level.

About Coaching at Anchored For Growth

Here, I answer questions about my unique coaching philosophy. Learn what makes my approach different, why I focus on operational leaders and ADHD dynamics, and what you can expect when working with me.

My qualifications come from a unique blend of over two decades of real-world experience, academic training, and personal journey. I’ve been a founder, a multi-time COO, and an expat entrepreneur. I hold a Master’s degree in Entrepreneurship, Leadership, and Innovation and was a college professor teaching entrepreneurship. Crucially, my later-in-life ADHD diagnosis gives me a deep, firsthand understanding of the unique challenges and strengths of the visionary leaders I serve.

I focus on this dynamic because I’ve lived it from both sides—as an operator with ADHD and as a coach to visionary, often ADHD-driven, CEOs. Generic advice often fails in these environments. My firsthand experience allows me to provide empathetic, practical, and tailored strategies that work with neurodivergent wiring, not against it. I help leaders harness the creative superpowers of ADHD while building the anchored systems needed for sustainable focus and growth.

  • The Anchor & Compass COO Accelerator (1-on-1) is a deep, intensive, and highly personalized experience tailored completely to your specific challenges and goals. It’s the fastest path to transformation.
  • The Anchored Collective (Group) provides the benefit of peer learning and community. You get expert-led coaching on core AFG principles while sharing challenges and gaining diverse perspectives from other operational leaders in similar situations.

Titles vary, especially in growing companies. If you are the person responsible for translating vision into execution, managing day-to-day operations, and acting as the second-in-command or operational backbone of the company, this coaching is for you, regardless of your official title.

Coaching Logistics & Next Step FAQs

Ready to take the next step? This section covers the practical details about my coaching programs, including the investment, time commitment, and how to begin the application process.

Investing in high-level, personalized coaching is an investment in both your career and your company’s success. Because each program is tailored, the investment can vary, but The Anchor & Compass COO Accelerator starts at $1898 for the 12-week engagement. The final investment is confirmed after our initial Clarity Call, where we ensure we’re a perfect fit and you have a full understanding of the value you’ll receive.

For the 1-on-1 program, expect to commit to a 60-minute coaching session each week for 12 weeks. You should also plan for 1-2 hours per week between sessions to reflect on and implement the actionable steps we develop together. Growth happens when you apply the learning.

You are ready for coaching if you are:

  • View coaching as a valuable investment, not just an expense.
  • Aware that there’s a gap between where you are and where you want to be.
  • Willing to be open, honest, and vulnerable about your challenges.
  • Ready to take action and be held accountable for your growth.

I personally review every application. If it seems like we might be a good fit, I’ll email you a link to schedule your complimentary 15-30 minute Clarity Call. On that call, we’ll discuss your goals, you can ask any remaining questions, and we’ll decide together if moving forward is the right next step. There is no pressure or sales pitch.
