Executive Coaching

For reaching the best of your capabilities

Dr. Stauffer develops customized approaches that support you in reaching your aspirations. She brings the curiosity of a psychologist, a respect for your expertise and for what your life’s work means to you, and the mind of a research scientist who will apply evidence-based methodology in your behalf.

Your desired focus may be to grow the leadership skills critical to your current role, to prepare for a promotion that expands your options, to build influence and followership, to make your numbers, to improve time management, to identify the talent needed to realize your vision, to improve communication and relationship skills, or to express yourself more clearly and boldly.

In any case, the first step is identifying what matters to you most and the designing a clear map to guide you.

“Understanding the powerful role of emotions in the workplace sets the best leaders apart from the rest – not just in tangibles such as better business results and the retention of talent, but also in the all-important intangibles, such as higher morale, motivation, and commitment.”
