Empower Your Life and Career Today

Paraphrasing Bert Hellinger's work on family black sheep, good leaders work with others to bring positive change, creating "a new and blooming branch" from toxic systems. At Blooming Branch Group, we believe that authentic, developmental and caring leaders not only get results, but also bring positivity to others and the world.  

Blooming Branch's coaches are certified by, or are in training to be certified by, the International Coaching Federation. Certified coaches are committed to excellence, ethical practice and lifelong learning. They have proven their understanding of the fundamentals of coaching, including the ICF Core Competencies and the ICF Code of Ethics. Whether you use Blooming Branch or not, make sure your coach is ICF certified.

Thanks to this training, Blooming Branch coaches can coach anyone. However, they also have special expertise coaching executive leaders and in higher education spaces.

Executive coaching is a confidential partnership with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. Coaches honor the client as an expert in their life and work and believe that every client is creative, resourceful and whole. I am not here to give advice or offer solutions, but rather to help you solve your own challenges or goals. 

In your coaching session you can expect to be seen and heard in an authentic conversation about what's really going on. Your coach will help you develop your own critical thinking and problem-solving capacity through a series of powerful questions. You will not receive explicit advice, although you might be challenged to envision new perspectives. Ultimately, however, you are the expert in your lived experience; neuroscience shows that individuals are more motivated to execute on ideas they have generated for themselves. 

You'll get the most out of your coaching session if you bring a specific topic (Issue, Challenge, Vision, Goal) A good Coaching Topic is something personal or professional that is current, unresolved and important to you. It is something that you are unable to resolve for yourself.

Vision:     “I need to develop a vision for my team”
