LEADERSHIP COACHING

Just because others criticize your leadership style doesn’t mean it’s wrong.

On the contrary! A non-conventional style is a powerful asset.

In environments where traditional approaches often fall flat, a distinctive leadership style can inspire teams and drive meaningful change. Just because others resist your way of doing things doesn’t mean it’s wrong—it means it stands out.

Leadership isn’t about conforming; it’s about finding ways to amplify your strengths while navigating the expectations and complexities of your organization. Together, we’ll transform the resistance you face into opportunities to lead with authenticity and impact.

If your conventional organization doesn’t fully appreciate your leadership style, you don’t have to suffer—or leave your job.

Because of negative feedback and experiences, you tone down your personality to try to fit into your environment, but when you do that:

You lose yourself.

You become less effective.

You have less impact.

Your stress increases.

You lose your motivation.

It’s clearly not the right solution!

The reality is that the way you interpret the criticism and feedback you receive is influenced by your past experiences. You analyze them through your own filters and (very) personal perspective.

That’s where my perspective, experience, and fresh outlook will help you better understand the bigger picture (and find solutions that are much better suited to your situation).

Leadership coaching will help you objectively analyze situations so you can regain your confidence (and motivation at work).

Together, we’ll separate the words you hear from the underlying messages. We’ll identify the strengths in your personality so you can develop your superpowers.

Leadership coaching will help you thrive, even within your conventional organization. No need to suffer, quit your job, or go open a bed-and-breakfast in Vermont.

We’ll remove the elements that negatively impact you without compromising who you are as a leader.

“I’m under a lot of pressure to meet goals, but people complain that some feel rushed or pushed too hard. It’s like the company is deliberately putting obstacles or rules in place that stop me from doing my job. I just don’t understand what they want.”

Non-conventional leaders often feel stuck, unsure how to navigate a challenging situation.

On one hand, your ability to deliver positive results is recognized and valued, but on the other, your approach is criticized.

What’s holding you back from thriving professionally and achieving the goals you’ve set for yourself is a misalignment between your non-conventional style and the (conventional) expectations of the organization you work for.

I promise you, it’s possible to reconcile all of this.

“I’m really confused. A lot of people are giving me feedback, but I don’t understand what it means (and on top of that, the feedback is contradictory).”

Unlike what others might tell you, we’re not going to spend our time evaluating your weaknesses or focusing on “areas for improvement.” In coaching, we’ll build on your natural strengths.

As your coach, I’ll help you take a step back, distinguish reality from perception, and transform the things you’re criticized for into superpowers. Together, we’ll define them, explore how to leverage them, and adapt them to your context.

I promise you’ll be well-equipped to navigate your conventional environment—and regain your peace of mind.

“I’ve always delivered good results, but after so much criticism, I’ve lost my energy and motivation.”

If you’re looking for a coach, it probably means you’re reaching your breaking point. You’ve been holding everything in, and now it feels like it might all explode. Before diving into the work, you might need to pause, vent, or release some of that built-up pressure. Leadership coaching provides a space where you can let it all out. It’s your space, and you use it in the way that best meets your needs.

Instead of blowing up in a meeting (or breaking down in tears in your car), private conversations with your coach will help you defuse the situation and regain your balance. Once you’re ready, we’ll focus on long-term strategies and practical actions you can implement right away.

“I love my job and the company I work for, but it’s so bureaucratic and inefficient that it’s driving me crazy.”

No, no, no. Don’t wait for things to magically fix themselves. If you’re feeling like this, it’s definitely better to take action before you rage-quit your job.

Trust me, the cost of coaching is far less significant than the negative impact on your reputation, your health, or your professional relationships.

Unfortunately, I can’t promise that you’ll be 64% more effective after coaching (or that your happiness level will increase by 32%).

I’d be lying if I tried to give you absolute guarantees. I won’t spin you a story or invent statistics about how much your zen level will improve, because I can’t control the people around you or the policies of your organization.

But you know what? The benefits are still pretty compelling. Let me share a few examples from real cases.

Of course, every coaching relationship is unique, and results vary from person to person. That said, in every case, the coachee regained their balance, found their footing, and rediscovered their professional motivation.
