What is leadership coaching?

There are lots of coaching options available to you today. Balanced Strategy coaches are trained Co-Active coaches who will create a customized plan with you to support your development as a leader, offer time to reflect and consider new perspectives, and champion the work you are doing now. We will work together to set clear goals and a realistic timeline for reaching those goals. There will be homework between sessions, sometimes a reflection question and sometimes an action you need to take so that we continue to move the work forward. 

Why Coaching

People come to coaching to create a new path forward. Sometimes that looks like a new job or a new career, other times that looks like a shift in leadership strategy, and other times it’s a new way of being in your current work. We will both get into what you need to do to move forward paired with which part of your inner leader you need to ignite to make that happen. 

Who we Coach

Nonprofit leaders looking for thought partnership and support in their professional growth

Working parents, new to be parents, or caregivers looking for a supportive advocate through life transitions

Education leaders who need someone familiar with the education landscape to help them grow in their work

How it works

  • We will first meet via phone to get to know each other better and make sure that our approach is a match for what you are looking for. 

  • If it’s a match, we will schedule a 75 minute discovery call. You will have homework to complete prior to that call.

  • We will meet every 3-4 weeks for six months for 45 minutes each call, with an option to continue after six months. For some clients six months is exactly what they need and for others it’s a little more time, or a little less time. We will determine this together. If it’s a match, we will schedule a 75 minute discovery call. You will have homework to complete prior to that call.

  • “15 years into my career, I needed a space to reflect on my strengths and consider how to maintain momentum in my career. Working with Zoe provided the space and accountability to do that. Zoe's critical questions and deep listening pushed me to reflect more deeply, her challenges helped focus my next steps, and the accountability enabled me to create systems to ensure long term momentum.”

    Kate E.

  • “Over the past year and a half, working with Zoë has been an invaluable experience for me as a leader. Having never worked with a coach before, I found that Zoë's insightful guidance and encouraging style enabled me to navigate challenging situations with confidence while growing my non-profit. Our work around building structures and managing people helped me develop my team and bring out the best in them. Thanks to our collaboration, I've grown as a professional, and I will continue to apply what I've learned from Zoë in my current role and future endeavors.”
