What Clients are Saying »
As a result of the 6 Advisors Coaching Program, I now recognize tools that were in my arsenal all along but I never understood or used them effectively. … I have already implemented these newly found skills in my life and career. The results have exceeded my expectations and I am now much clearer about how much I can contribute from my current position and am much more confident in taking the next step to Executive Director.
VP Government Affairs, State Professional Association
And I have learned how to be an effective leader, to spend some of the time out of the weeds and in the hovercraft, pointing in the right direction, shouting words of encouragement and identifying when more resources or information are needed. Pegotty's coaching and experience in this area has been invaluable.

Successful people know they don't have to do it alone. Having a good sounding board and someone who can ask questions from a different perspective is vitally important for your growth and development. The gaps between what we see and what others see about us are known as blind spots. For leaders and managers, blind spots can be career-limiting.
Ask yourself these questions:
- Are my skills and confidence are being challenged with the speed of change?
- Am I dealing with resistance to change and innovation?
- Am I afraid to say what is really on my mind?
- Do I resist confronting poor performance because I am afraid of a backlash?
- Am I having a hard time selling my ideas and when questioned, I give them up?
- Am I frustrated because I are not communicating as effectively as I could and not getting the results I want?
- Is it difficult to get the cooperation I need from people at various levels in the organization?
You are NOT ALONE! Many others in your situation or a similar situation answer "yes" to one or more of these questions. These situations can get in the way of accomplishing the things that you really want to accomplish in your professional life. And worse than that, these circumstances can impact your confidence and effectiveness; and undermine some of your greatest strengths. You being the authentic leader that you know you can be and working with your greatest strengths is a powerful way to get more of what you want in all areas of your life!
Here is the GOOD NEWS! There is a way to master the art of dealing with all of these circumstances! At the Leadership Sounding Board, we have programs specifically designed to impact these situations and get the following kinds of results:
- Building relationships and getting more cooperation from all of the stakeholders
- Expanding responsibility and accountability at all levels of the association
- Handling direct communication with grace and respect
- Fostering an engaging environment and two-way feedback
- Seeing the strengths in people and being able to provide them with what they need to their fullest.
If you are committed to being as effective as you can be as a leader, and building the kind of relationships that are the lifeblood of all associations, the leadership development coaching programs that I offer provide results! Guaranteed! Through the 6 Advisors™ and 360 assessment tools, workshops, and the One-on-One and Group Coaching programs, people are transforming relationships, productivity and reaching their goals much faster!
