Our philosophies: the abc’s of leadership
AUTHENTICITY
You at work is not separate from you at home…you are YOU. Understanding and OWNING your authentic brand of leadership...not trying to morph yourself into what others want or expect…is at the heart of effective leadership. Learning to trust yourself fully and bring your authentic YOU to all of your roles in life is what creates inner peace and maximum impact on others. Bringing your authenticity is what inspires others to bring theirs.
“Figure out who you are, then do it on purpose. ”
BELIEF
Every person is a leader and every leader is unique. Each of us play the leading role in shaping our environment and writing our life story. Having the self-belief to persevere through the inevitable no’s in search of that one powerful yes. Belief in the power of your authentic leadership style and an “anything is possible” mindset will make you stand out from the crowd, enable you to achieve anything you set your mind on and embolden you to be a role model for others.
“I stood on a mountain of no’s to get to one yes. ”
COURAGE
Claiming the career and life YOU want takes radical self-commitment and courage to push through your fears, get out of your comfort zone, and take risks. Making conscious choices and courageously saying YES to those things that bring you in alignment with your values, your ambitions, and your dreams and saying NO to those things that no longer serve you. Defining success on your own terms and fiercely and courageously taking actions to get you there is the definition of a life well lived.

“There are millions of books on what it means to be a “leader”. Donna gave me tools that helped me cut out the noise and external expectations so I could strengthen and be true to my own voice and leadership style.”
““During our six-month coaching engagement, Donna and I had enriching conversations that further shaped my leadership style. She leverages her breadth of experience in the tech industry to provide great perspective and always asked thoughtful questions that pushed me both personally and professionally. Donna provided a great balance between coaching, mentoring, and challenging me through this process.”
