Organizations invest in executive coaching when:
- A leader is stepping into a larger or more visible role
- A leader is entering a new organization or leadership environment
- Greater strategic and cross-functional leadership is needed
- Leadership behavior is beginning to affect trust, alignment, or effectiveness
- Difficult conversations or challenging relationships are affecting performance
- The organization wants to invest proactively in leadership growth and succession
How I Work
Clients often describe the work as direct, practical, and immediately relevant.
Senior leaders value having a place where they can think out loud, challenge their own assumptions, and get immediate, objective feedback. The work is grounded in what is actually happening inside the organization and focused on helping leaders move more decisively through complex dynamics and decisions.
Depending on the situation, tools such as the Integrative Enneagram® may be incorporated to help leaders better understand recurring challenges, leadership behaviors, and dynamics that may not be immediately visible.
I bring a strategic perspective to the work, with an ability to quickly synthesize complexity and bring clarity to situations that have become difficult, politically charged, or stuck. Senior leaders often value having someone who can hear the unfiltered version of what is happening and tell them the truth directly.
As one client shared, “There was nothing theoretical about Starla’s approach.”
Executive Coaching has been shown to produce a 788% ROI as measured by increased productivity, higher levels of overall employee performance, reduced costs, growth in revenue and sales, higher employee retention and engagement.*
