Coaching & Advising
Targeted coaching around the real needs and issues you're working through — as a leader, and as a whole person.
One-on-one advisory sessions to overhaul your leadership strategy, assess gaps in your current performance, drive honest conversations about blind spots, and equip you with the tools to close them. This isn't a pre-packaged, assembly-line approach — it's coaching built around your real challenges.
I work with a specially selected group of clients each year. I limit my roster to a handful at a time so I can deeply invest in each leader and organization, the way I'd invest in my own team. We meet twice per month, and each session is focused on three elements:
Overcoming Challenges
With over 30 years of leadership experience, I have probably solved whatever you are up against - usually after a few failed attempts. A seasoned guide can point you past your most formidable obstacles and save you time, money, and stress. In each session, we will work through your current challenges, and I will offer practical advice, techniques, and next steps to move you forward faster.
Self-Directed Professional Development
We all have areas we want to improve and learn. Along with areas I will select based on your assessment, you will get to pick several areas in which you will receive tailored learning on topics you want to develop – Team Performance, Hiring and Firing, Financial Management, Board Leadership, Fundraising techniques and strategies, etc. I’m your private tutor in your selected areas for a year.
Leadership Transformation
Leadership barriers often stem not from a lack of skills, but from a lack of understanding of our inner landscape.
When we begin the internal work of self-reflection and self-interrogation, we can begin transforming our lives as leaders. Flannel Solutions understands the importance of guiding you through this transformative process, so you stay aligned with your values and have the impact you aspire to.
DOES THIS WORK FOR YOU?
Coaching for transformation and sustainable change.
Flannel Solutions' approach strikes a balance between traditional and transformational forms of coaching.
01
Goal Orientation
My Coaching style combines goal-focused action with transformational growth. We’ll clarify meaningful goals, create practical steps toward them, and explore the beliefs, values, identity, and perspectives that influence your choices—helping you achieve tangible results while creating deeper, lasting change and expanding what you believe is possible.
03
Approach to Challenges
My coaching combines practical problem-solving with a transformational perspective. We’ll address challenges and obstacles with actionable strategies while also welcoming setbacks, uncertainty, and confusion as opportunities for deeper insight. By exploring these experiences rather than resisting them, you can gain greater self-awareness and move forward with clarity.
02
Approach to Change
My coaching blends practical, outcome-focused strategies with transformational growth. We’ll identify obstacles, clarify meaningful goals, and create actionable steps while exploring the beliefs, values, and mindsets that may be holding you back. This approach supports both tangible progress and deeper, lasting change for more sustainable, holistic growth.
04
The Coach's Role
My coaching blends guidance and accountability with a transformational, client-led approach. I’ll help you clarify goals, navigate challenges, and take purposeful action while creating space for self-awareness and discovery. Rather than simply providing answers, I’ll help you uncover your own insights, build confidence, and create meaningful, lasting change.
