Leadership Coaching Process: Updated

Sarah Scala Consulting is an internationally certified executive coach at the PCC level, and confidential partner, helping to meet challenges in new ways. Leadership gaps or blind spots sometimes lead to burnout and hinder effective leadership. Coaching helps executives and leaders strengthen self-awareness, interpersonal skills, and business savviness. The client sets the agenda in this partnership and is responsible for the outcomes. This partnership has led to successful navigation of both ongoing company changes, and unexpected shifts in business..

My Compassion based / Neuro coaching approach opens up big picture thinking, widens focus, and accelerates innovation to achieve sustainable results.

The Leadership Coaching process:

  1. Starting: Our first executive coaching session will be spent getting to know you. You will share and answer many questions to provide a full picture of your work and life.

  2. Agreement on Purpose and Goals: We will define and confirm the exact shifts and changes you seek and what success looks like. You will be offered exercises to practice beginning your shift. We will discuss ways to hold yourself accountable in moving towards changes.

  3. Working Towards Goals and Practicing: Each coaching session will start with you sharing your progress, challenges, successes, and insights that were gained. Continued support will be provided, and you will be offered additional ways to overcome challenges and stretch yourself.

  4. Closing of Executive Coaching Program: During our last session, we will reflect on your progress. How do you feel leadership coaching has gone? What are your next steps? Is there interest in extending coaching for new or different areas?

What clients say:

“During our executive coaching sessions Sarah helped me examine leadership skills I’ve built up over the years and identify areas I want to further strengthen. She provided valuable insights into how I could more effectively respond to various types of situations and workplace frustrations. I appreciated her very down-to-earth, flexible, supportive, yet absolutely non-judgmental style, which made it easy to share experiences, gain new perspectives and take away nuggets of wisdom from every meeting we had. I am happy to report that as a result of my time with Sarah I feel my skillset has definitely grown, and I believe these new tools will be instrumental in making me more of the type of leader I want to be.”
— SUZAN KINAKI, SR. IT PORTFOLIO AND PROGRAM MANAGER - DESE AT MASSACHUSETTS EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF EDUCATION, COMMONWEALTH OF MA
“The Leadership at my hospital provides a good variety of professional coaching. I had the opportunity to take the Emotional Intelligence Assessment and work one-on-one with Sarah. I have had other coaching experiences in the past and I’ve often felt coaching can be about pushing a one size fits all change. Sarah’s approach is to allow you to be yourself and take pride in your accomplishments, but also to better ‘polish’ some facets of your skillset. I believe this work with Sarah has been by far the most helpful, effective, and lasting I’ve participated in. Sarah builds great rapport, is non-judgmental, and helps you discover potential new practices. She provides concrete supportive tools, writings, and videos as specific topics or experiences come up in conversation. She allows you to lead as you explore different ways of thinking about management and outcomes, and is committed to making sure you feel like you are getting something from every session. Through working with Sarah I have a renewed commitment to my goals, coupled with a sustainable and effective practice to better shape my leadership skills. ”
— TRACY HARRIS, DIRECTOR CODING AND PATIENT FINANCIAL SERVICES, NEW ENGLAND BAPTIST HOSPITAL, BOSTON, MA
“I know Sarah both as a facilitator and as a coach and she is phenomenal in both roles! She is warm, outgoing, and the most positive person I have ever met. Her personality draws a person in and when she talks to you, you feel like the most important person in the room. As a facilitator, her presentations are engaging, inspiring, and one leaves with tools and tips that can be implemented immediately. As a coach, she is empathetic, knowledgeable, and asks questions to help promote thoughtful discussion. I highly recommend using Sarah as a coach, facilitator, for leadership development, or any other need for your organization or as an individual. She is amazing!”
