Coaching Style
Utilizing Expertise

My coaching style seamlessly integrates observing, clarifying, and challenging while providing relevant and affirming feedback.

By combining my years of experience as both a senior executive and a seasoned coach, I utilize my background in appreciative inquiry to quickly decipher a client’s core strengths and areas of opportunity and unlock the potential within to achieve the next level of success.

Whether it was serving as the head of product innovation, sales, merchandising, and marketing inside large organizations, or coaching C-suite executives from major brands in the food services, entertainment, healthcare, or non-profit market segments, I have honed the art of using reciprocal dialogue and applying the right rhythm of challenges. Although each client’s journey is unique, I’ve helped many high-performing CEOs and executives move beyond their current state and discover the untapped talents and potential necessary to achieve a higher level of thinking, leadership, and self-empowerment.

Testimonials

All companies invest in sales, marketing, and technology. The ones that take the time to invest in their own “why,” their own growth and that of their teams, are the ones that reach a different echelon. Our work with Transcend has made us into an elite organization in every sense of the word and it’s easily one of the best investments I’ve ever made.

Jess Rovello CEO, Arkadium

Transcend has been transformational for me as CEO and for my executive team. They connected the mind and the heart of our executive team, driving more alignment, a team working as one rather than individuals, and over-delivering on results. I have worked with many consultants and coaches. Transcend has been the most impactful.

Mark Goldstein CEO, Entertainment Partners

If the time has come to make changes in an organization, Transcend can facilitate the creation of an informed and cohesive plan built around the leadership’s vision while keeping firmly planted in the reality of what it takes for that vision to succeed.

Nancy Novokmet Managing Partner, NEED
