Our work

Three practices. One commitment to becoming.

Each engagement is shaped around the person, the context and what the next chapter requires.

01

Coaching

Executive and Leadership Coaching, Leadership and Professional Transitions, Team and Group Coaching, and Organizational or Sponsored Coaching.

I support leaders who want to close the gap between their current way of leading and what the context now requires—without losing who they are.

02

Mentor Coaching

Mentor Coaching for ACC, PCC and MCC coaches seeking credential renewal, credential progression or deeper coaching mastery.

The work moves beyond demonstrating the competencies toward examining what is actually happening in the coaching and learning to embody them.

The work of becoming

When the context changes, who do you need to become for what comes next?

STRIDE is SageStride's signature reflective framework for leadership transition and becoming. It is a rhythm to return to as circumstances change, not a linear formula.

The STRIDE reflective framework: Sense, Think, Reframe, Integrate, Decide and Embody
  1. SenseNotice what is changing, shifting or creating friction.
  2. ThinkLook honestly at the present reality, including what may have gone unacknowledged.
  3. ReframeLoosen assumptions or ways of leading that no longer serve.
  4. IntegrateRetain what remains valuable while incorporating new awareness.
  5. DecideChoose your direction and leadership stance with intention.
  6. EmbodyBring your choices into how you live, lead and relate.

How it begins

A thoughtful first step, without pressure.

The initial conversation is designed to understand the need:

  1. 01

    Share your context

    Use the inquiry form to identify what is changing and the kind of support you are considering.

  2. 02

    Meet for discovery

    A focused conversation clarifies the need, desired outcomes, timing and whether the partnership feels right.

  3. 03

    Find the right path for you

    Share your current credential level, what you hope to achieve, your timeline and your preferred format. Together, we can explore the pathways so you can choose what fits your needs.

  4. 04

    Begin intentionally

    Once the scope and agreements are clear, the engagement begins with shared expectations and a meaningful point of focus.
