Clinically Informed
Executive Coaching
with an Intercultural Perspective
When you are deciding on the ideal executive coach it's important to find one that is a good fit for your specific needs.
As an executive coach I draw from three primary areas of skill and experience:
30 + years providing therapy as a clinical psychologist
15 + years as Executive Leader, including as a university president
Global intercultural perspective having worked on five continents
Clinically Informed Executive Coaching blends the expertise of an executive coach with the in depth knowledge and expertise of a doctorally trained clinical psychologist.
An executive coach can provide valuable advisory guidance on strategic set-backs and challenges specific to the sector. The advantage of clinically informed executive coaching is that you also receive guidance on how to identify emotional, behavioral and relational patterns in the workplace. It is the human element that is usually the most challenging for executives to manage in the workplace. We all know that workplaces have become increasingly emotionally charged and volatile.
My observation is that what often trips up the most accomplished executive is messy relationships, patterns that keep repeating, and overwhelming emotions you can't share with anyone. That's exactly why clinically informed executive coaching is so powerful. It addresses both needs.
As a former executive I've been in the hot seat myself so I understand the complexities and pressures of leadership roles. There will be no simple platitudes from me. It's lonely at the top is more than a trite saying. Having an executive coach who actually knows both what it's like to be in the hot seat and who can also support you in addressing the intensely emotional and relational aspects of your role becomes a huge relief.
As a therapist with decades of experience I bring a clinically informed approach to coaching, and am equipped to support you in addressing not only intense emotional upheaval and complex relationships, but also your search for meaning and purpose. All of this will enhance your capacity to flourish, whatever your specific circumstance.
What is Clinically Informed Executive Coaching?
Why is an Intercultural Global Perspective Relevant?
Increasingly our colleagues and clients represent different cultures and generations, making daily work life interculturally and linguistically more nuanced than ever.
As someone who has extensive experience working across and within cultures I am uniquely poised to support you in sorting out what might for example be a cultural misunderstanding or actually plain toxic inappropriate behavior.
Whether you are a professional from the global north or the global south I can support you in navigating the intercultural complexity you face as an executive leader. In the context of the executive coaching sessions I provide a safe space to discuss potential cultural missteps and misunderstandings and most importantly how to recover. We can explore the power of cultural humility and how to build sustainable intercultural bridges through authentic communication.
How does this differ from Life Coaching
and Career Coaching
Life coaching is focused on overall personal growth and development and career coaching focuses on transitioning from one job to another. These forms of coaching provide the client with advice and recommendations on how to enhance their well being or to secure a new job.
Clinically Informed Executive Coaching from an Intercultural Global Perspective is designed for senior level executives and professionals who seek to enhance their career trajectory while navigating complex professional demands in an intense, high profile and complex intercultural environment.
