Books Supporting Change

Smart Questions: A New Strategy for Successful Managers by Dorothy Leeds is an insightful book that will help you ask the right questions in the right circumstances. Leeds covers situations from managing and motivating staff to getting ahead in your executive career.

She says "When you know how to ask the right questions you can make anything happen."

Coaching Success Story

C wanted to find a new job that would be more satisfying than her current position. During the time it took to find the next position she made changes in her job that brought her more satisfaction than she had been feeling in a long time.

The changes made it easier to wait for the right position to show up and gave her additional knowledge to make a better choice regarding the new job and not make a move out of desperation.

Coaching Opportunity

I have room for two clients that want to get beyond what stops them from achieving their goals.

Your coaching, consulting, or speaking referrals are appreciated!
