  • Getting “advice” from friends, family, or mentors.
  • ​Off-the-shelf training courses, online or in person.

How The CMO of a Global, Multi-Billion Dollar Tech Company Reclaimed Her Life and Landed a CMO Position in Just One Year

Sandra came to me feeling overwhelmed by a profound loss of self. “I don’t recognize the person I see in the mirror,” she said. Unrelenting external pressures to deliver and uncooperative stakeholders left her feeling overworked and underappreciated. Her emotions fluctuated constantly from anger to sadness to nothingness. She couldn’t sleep and had a short temper with her spouse and kids when work spilled over into her personal life. She started questioning coworkers' intentions and felt she couldn’t trust anyone. Using food as a distraction, she gained 12 lbs. She was stuck and stalled in her career. 
How I Helped

I helped Sandra regain control of her mind by addressing the clutter of problems and redirecting her thinking toward a more positive outlook. We reframed her perspective around internal and external expectations so she could make the best choices for her situation.

Results

Through our work together, Sandra regained her self-confidence and poise under pressure and achieved a well-deserved promotion to Chief Marketing Officer within a year. She revitalized her personal and professional relationships, lost 8 lbs, and incorporated regular self-care like massages, proactive doctor visits, and intentional rest. She finally felt in control of her life again, truly embodying the leader she was meant to be.
“I’m so grateful for Angie’s support and guidance throughout this journey. I probably would have gotten myself out of this rut, but not in the short amount of time and definitely not with the grace that Angie helped me navigate the challenges and obstacles I faced. Her expertise and compassionate approach accelerated my growth and gave me the tools and mindset needed to overcome my struggles.”

How This VP of Engineering at a Trillion Dollar Company Overcame Conflict with Stakeholders and Boosted Team Morale
Mitch was dealing with conflict with key stakeholders and was on the fast track to burnout. He was constantly swamped and being challenged by peers and superiors. They trusted his functional capabilities but disliked his tone, approach, and communication style. He’d jump in when he saw a project at risk - even when the project owner specifically asked him to stand down. While he meant well, his fixer mentality constantly got him in trouble. He found it hard to influence cross-functional partners within the company. He was the expert. People wanted his advice on the subject matter, but his arrogance made other super-smart people not want to partner with him. He couldn’t inspire others into action. He’d get annoyed easily, often talk over others, and raise his voice to demonstrate that he meant business.
How I Helped

To address Mitch's challenges, we embarked on a comprehensive assessment using 360 feedback, personality assessments, and appreciative inquiry. This process illuminated his compulsive fixer mentality and lack of effective delegation, critical factors in his stress and strained relationships. We worked together to redefine his approach to leadership, emphasizing delegation and strategic communication. Through targeted coaching, Mitch learned to manage his impulses, ask for help, and engage more patiently and effectively with his team and peers.

Results

Mitch significantly improved his peer relationships by adopting a calmer, more collaborative approach to interactions, enhancing his professional reputation. By learning to delegate effectively, he reduced his workload, alleviated stress, and improved his overall quality of life. His newfound skills in emotional intelligence allowed him to rejuvenate, leading to better sleep, more family time, and a more balanced life. Mitch’s changes uplifted his personal well-being and elevated his leadership, making him a more effective and respected leader.

How This Senior Director of Marketing Turned a Missed Promotion Into a Leadership Triumph 

After being looked over for a promotion, Yasmin felt undervalued, unappreciated, and lost. She didn’t want to leave her company and felt stuck.

She didn’t know how to speak the language of the next level. She couldn’t ‘see’ what her management team was looking for at the next level. She thought she was being strategic, but it was really tactical. Because of my experience in the trenches for so many years developing competency models for the different levels of leadership and working so closely with executives on what to look for in the right candidate, I was able to guide her to be more strategic and more thoughtful about the behaviors of a true leader. As a result, she became calmer and more poised and landed her much-desired promotion in only nine months.
