Leadership Coaching

Many mission-driven organizations don’t have the time or resources to invest in positive management structures or training. This leads to managers working with their teams via trial and error and increases burnout not only for them, but also for their direct reports. More burnout begets more turnover, which begets more burnout. Stop the cycle!

Leadership coaching provides a space to articulate your leadership style, stay accountable to your goals, navigate challenges, and innovate for the future.

Coaching is right for you if…

• You feel lonely in your role and would benefit from an impartial partner to coach you through issues.
• You are navigating a transition to a new role or back from time off work and are unsure how you want to show up.
• You think about burning down your whole career and starting a bookstore in a hallmark movie, but also live in reality and know that it wouldn’t actually make you happy (or maybe it would?)
• You need some clarity and confidence to consistently be your best self in your life and or your work.
• You think you’ll be happy when you finally accomplish that thing, but that thing never comes. You spend your days in joyless urgency.
• You have moments of self-doubt that hold you back from taking action or making bold choices that will bring you greater fulfillment.

Interested? Here is what comes next:

• We talk for 20 minutes to discuss your goals and see if we’re a good fit. This is a no pressure conversation, promise.
• You decide to be coached (great choice) and Equilibrium sends you a welcome packet that outlines the details of the 8-week program.
• We meet for 50 minutes, usually weekly, to help you reach your goals.

Idea! Use your professional development funding to get coached and become a more balanced, holistic leader. You and your company will love it. If you need documentation for this, I’ve got it ready. Ask your employer!

Career Coaching

You *might* need to start looking for a new job, but you don’t know if you want to or where to look or how it all works. There is a lot swirling around. Let’s get grounded and set up a plan.

Many mission-driven people start out committed to creating positive change, but at some point their personal mission no longer lines up with the life they want to lead or their organization’s goals. The work that brought a lot of fulfillment starts to feel like a hamster wheel. That’s scary. We’ve been there. 

Coaching is right for you if…

• You are a mission-driven person who isn’t feeling motivated by the mission anymore.
• You worry about whether there’s something better, more fulfilling, more aligned for you.
• You feel stuck in your career.
• You do not see a path for growth in your organization.
• Your current career does not align with how you want to live your life anymore.
• You need support as your navigate your job search (including help with your resume and interview preparation).

How it works:

• We talk for 20 minutes to discuss your goals and see if we’re a good fit. This is a no pressure conversation.
• If we’re a good fit, we work together for 8 sessions to craft a plan to move forward– determining what you want to do, navigating the job search, preparing for interviews, and/or editing your resume.  
• We meet for 50 minutes, usually weekly, to help you reach your goals.

“Participating in the “Leveling Up Your Leadership” sessions was a great experience that fostered a strong sense of community among women leaders. The sessions encouraged open dialogue and mutual encouragement, while Amy provided practical tools that I can immediately apply in my role. Overall, this series has enhanced my leadership skills and inspired me to cultivate a culture of empowerment within my organization, and I look forward to implementing what I’ve learned and maintaining connections with fellow participants.”
