The Turn Around 10

The Turn Around 10 is a series of ten coaching sessions inspired by my work with executives and senior leaders at McKinsey & Co. Over four years, I provided one-on-one coaching to leaders struggling to launch new initiatives with teams. I also coached senior executives who had been put on performance-improvement plans as a result of consistent negative feedback received from colleagues and direct reports. In both cases, I helped clients identify obstacles, pinpoint needed changes, navigate relationships causing the greatest stress and pain, implement strategies and dramatically turn things around.

At the end of 10 sessions, my clients had achieved a complete turn-around: Faltering executives not only kept their jobs, but received promotions. One became a partner.

I leveraged that experience to develop The Turn Around 10 for clients seeking a 180-degree pivot. We’ll start with a precise idea of the problem or setback you want to solve, and the goal you would like to achieve. Over the 10 sessions, we develop a laser-focused strategy, brainstorm the best tactics, prepare a step-by-step plan, establish a timeline, and set up an accountability process that works for you. 

Along the way, you’ll fine-tune an array of skills, from resolving conflict to delegating; effectively communicating to giving and receiving feedback; problem-solving to “storyselling” that inspires and influences senior colleagues and their teams. I deploy a tool called Johari's Window to help you better understand your relationship with yourself, and become more conscious of how you show up to others. You begin to see blind spots, triggers and areas of resistance, and build self-awareness and trust to accelerate change. If your goal is a promotion, we’ll deploy Gallup's CliftonStrengths assessment to help identify and optimize your strong suits, and get a better handle on weaknesses.

The Turn Around 10 is typically requested by a corporate human resources department. But after witnessing the striking growth by individuals, I designed this program for private clients. If you are seeking meaningful transformation and an accelerated path to the next level in your career, The Turn Around 10 is for you.
