A three-month executive coaching engagement for senior ICs and leaders in science who are stepping into — or strengthening their position at — the senior leadership level.

Because communication patterns do not change through insights alone, participants are supported through live feedback, and between-session implementation. [Depending on the client’s situation, practical exercises may also be included.] This gives them the opportunity to apply the work to real conversations, refine their approach, and build more effective communication habits over time.

The goal is not simply to understand the concepts, but to use them with greater consistency and skill in the situations where communication most affects trust, credibility, visibility, and leadership.

Format

Six private 1:1 coaching sessions, 75 minutes each, twice per month over three months, conducted via Zoom. Each session is applied directly to your real leadership situation — not hypothetical exercises. You are stepping into stronger leadership as we go, not just learning about it.

Between-session support

Email access, Monday through Friday, with a response within one business day. Email is where you process, plan, and refine.

Two urgent 15-minute calls per month — same-day, scheduled by text between 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM Central (US/Chicago) time. The urgent call is for the moments that define your leadership: the 20 minutes before a critical meeting, the hour after a political blindside, the morning you realize a key opportunity is about to pass. Email handles the rest.

Satisfaction Guarantee

If you’re not satisfied with your coaching experience, you can cancel after two sessions for a full refund. You need to feel confident about your investment. After the first two sessions, no refunds will be given.
