Onwards Coaching

We work with leaders who are seeking transformational change in their careers. 

Onwards Coaching clients often find themselves at important junctures in their work lives, whether that is taking on a new role, making a career shift, acting on an entrepreneurial idea, or re-entering work. Others have realized that they want more fulfillment in their existing careers, or want to be more aligned with their outside lives, and need help getting there.

We partner with a range of leaders: While our foundation is with senior-level executives, we also work with individuals who are growing into bigger roles. Clients work in a range of fields: social impact, tech, healthcare, and beyond.

What Onwards clients have in common is a desire for change, willingness to invest in themselves, and openness to doing things differently. 

That’s where we come in: Getting you moving onwards, with the clarity, mindset, and tools to reach your goals. 

A great leadership coach can help you grow and improve much more effectively than going it alone. 

Great coaches are objective, build trusting and safe relationships, and bring their experience to: 

  • Help you find clarity, by asking powerful questions

  • Expand your perspective, as a thought partner and champion

  • Be successful in the new areas you want to pursue, by building your skills

  • Support your personal progress, through accountability and reflection

  • Sustain peak performance, by strengthening your own self-awareness and insight

As the legendary tennis champion Serena Williams put it: “No matter what stage you’re at, you can get better, and you can’t always do that yourself. You need another set of eyes, another voice. That’s what [my coach] gives me.”

Why coaching?

At the core of what we do is the belief in everyone’s ability to succeed and make a meaningful, positive impact in their career and in the world. 

Working together, we will help you tap into your inner wisdom and interests, and to develop the skills and mindset to achieve your goals. We will work on practical challenges you identify. And we will also create plans and accountability structures to help ensure progress. 

We will also get grounded in our sessions, helping you shake off the day, and becoming fully present and aware in the moment. We use this awareness to make productive use of our time together and support intentional decisions that align with your values and aspirations.
