Contracting
Contracting is an important facet of both consulting and coaching. Whether it is at the start of a relationship or continuously throughout, contracting ensures both sides are on the same page about goals, expectations, and boundaries. Since focusing on using contracting in my daily work meetings, I’ve seen positive results. The most consistent benefit is…

About Me
I grew up in Cincinnati, OH but have been living in downtown Chicago (Lincoln Park) since the start of the pandemic. Before March 2020, I was living abroad working for a French Resort company called Club Med. With Club Med, I worked in the US, Turks & Caicos, Dominican Republic, and Morocco as a Sports…

The Immunity Map
This resource I have used myself and plan on using moving forward is called the Immunity Map. I’ve included an image of my map, but I’ll give a brief description and why I find it so useful. The “Map” is broken into four sections, moving from left to right. The first section is an improvement…

Tell Me More
Last week I had an opportunity to use “Tell Me More”. A colleague in the same role as me asked for guidance on using our tool for logging records and processing contracts. She could not articulate exactly what areas she needed help with, so after getting an answer on what problems she was running into…

Taking the RBSE a level deeper
Regine Corrado and reviewed our Reflected Best Self Exercises together and it was very insightful. I enjoyed sharing thoughts on our own results and adding our takeaways from reading each other’s reports. We went a level deeper and discussed how we could use these findings to inform and work towards our immunity maps goal. We…

Our team theme is creating a unified process “train track”, so we wore conductor hats & whistles and bandanas. It instantly brought smiles to ours and the class’s faces,…

Reflected Best Self Exercise
I’ve been working on gathering success stories from friends, family, co-workers, and bosses for my Reflected Best Self Exercise. The feedback I’ve gotten has been consistently positive and has led me to two thoughts on how I want to apply this exercise in future coaching. In an individual setting, I think it’s a great confidence…

Careers and Consulting
My second, 3-day in-person “intensive” was this past week for my Executing Strategic Change course – it was as thought-provoking yet different than my first one. My main takeaway was from the case study exercise where, in groups, we had an entire morning to develop a recommendation for where to place a new leadership position…

My first in-person intensive
This past weekend was my first, 3 day in-person “intensive” for my Accelerating Learning and Development Class – it was more enjoyable and rewarding than I anticipated. Besides the thoughtful exercises, discussions, and social moments, two things stuck out most. We created a “pre-mortem document” for our team projects, going through potential ways the project…

The Trap of Agreement
Last week, I had an exciting moment at work where I applied a concept from my Accelerating Learning and Development class – fighting the trap of agreement. I was in a team discussion to choose a topic for an important client presentation. The first idea proposed was agreed upon quickly. After some time, I asked…
