Transform Your Career with Executive Coaching in Denver
Introduction
The competitive landscape of today’s business world demands more than just technical skills – it requires leadership excellence, strategic thinking, and the ability to navigate complex organizational challenges. As an executive coach in Denver, I help professionals unlock their full potential and build careers that actually fit their lives. Whether you’re looking to step into a bigger leadership role, lead your team more effectively, or figure out what’s next for you, coaching can be the catalyst that gets you there.
What Is Executive Coaching?
Executive coaching is a personalized development process focused on enhancing leadership skills, sharpening decision-making, and fostering sustainable professional growth. Through one-on-one sessions, we work on your real challenges in real time – the tough conversations, the overloaded calendar, the shifting role expectations, and the quiet question of “what’s next for me?”
I bring experience as a former senior leader and organizational development consultant, combined with formal training as an ICF-certified coach. This means our work together isn’t just theory – it’s grounded in what actually works when you’re leading people in fast-moving, high-stakes environments.
A Dual Approach: Coaching and Teaching
My work spans two worlds. Through Ascent Partners, I coach mid-career professionals and executives one-on-one, helping them lead with more impact and a lot less burnout. I also teach leadership and organizational development in the graduate programs at the University of Colorado Denver, where I get to work with emerging leaders who are building the foundations of their careers.
This combination keeps my coaching practical and research-informed. What I teach in the classroom gets tested in coaching sessions, and what I learn from coaching real leaders shapes how I approach teaching. You benefit from both sides – the academic rigor of evidence-based leadership models and the real-world application that comes from working with executives navigating actual organizational challenges.
Why This Approach Works
What sets this work apart is the integration of executive coaching with organizational development expertise. I’m not just focused on you as an individual leader – I understand the systems, politics, and cultural dynamics you’re operating within. Having led teams, managed budgets, navigated restructures, and coached executives across industries, I can help you see patterns you might be missing and develop strategies that actually hold up on Monday morning.
The coaching focuses on key areas like emotional intelligence, communication skills, strategic thinking, and sustainable performance. We also tackle the practical stuff: how to have hard conversations, how to protect your time without dropping the ball, how to lead with presence instead of just reacting to whatever fires up today.
The Benefits You’ll Experience
Coaching creates space for the kind of reflection and planning that your calendar doesn’t allow. Here’s what typically shifts:
Self-Awareness: You’ll identify your strengths, leadership blind spots, and the patterns that might be holding you back. This clarity is foundational – you can’t lead others effectively if you don’t know yourself well.
Leadership Capability: You’ll develop the confidence to make tough calls, navigate ambiguity, and lead your team through change without burning yourself out in the process.
Communication Skills: You’ll learn to convey your vision clearly, give feedback that lands, and handle difficult conversations with empathy and backbone.
Strategic Thinking: You’ll step back from the day-to-day chaos to see the bigger picture, set real priorities, and make decisions that align with where you’re actually trying to go.
Sustainable Performance: You’ll build routines and systems that protect your energy, so you can perform at a high level without running yourself into the ground.
Transform Your Career – On Your Terms
Whether you’re aiming for a promotion, transitioning to a new role, launching your own venture, or simply trying to re-engage with the work you already have, coaching provides a clear path forward. We start with the work that’s right in front of you, then zoom out to the bigger question: what kind of life and career are you actually building this for?
Some clients use our work to re-energize in the role they have. Others decide it’s time to design a different path entirely. Either way, we’re building a career that fits you – not the other way around.
The combination of coaching practitioners through Ascent and teaching future leaders at CU Denver means I stay current on both the human challenges of leadership and the evolving research on what makes leaders effective. You get the benefit of both perspectives: practical tools that work in the real world, backed by evidence-based frameworks that stand up to scrutiny.
Conclusion
In a rapidly evolving business landscape, staying ahead requires continuous learning, honest self-assessment, and the willingness to do things differently. Executive coaching provides a unique opportunity to enhance your leadership skills, clarify your direction, and achieve your career aspirations without sacrificing your health or your life in the process.
If you’re successful on paper but tired underneath it, or if you’re ready to step into something bigger but need a thinking partner to help you map it out, let’s talk. We’ll do the work together – with honest conversations, real accountability, and room to enjoy your life again.
