PHASE 1 GAP Analysis & Action Planning NOTE: This phase only applies when the coaching engagement is supported and paid for by an individual's organization. If you are using your own time and money to engage in this coaching, phase one is skipped and the fee associated with it is not required. We'll simply begin with the exploratory conversations described in phase 1 to complete a Professional Development Plan and then we'll immediately move into phase two. |
|---|
This phase typically takes four to six weeks to complete (depending on the number of interviews and availability of interviewees) and includes the following steps (some steps could overlap): STEP 1 INTAKE SESSION & ALIGNMENT MEETING We'll begin with an initial conversation to set the stage for the coaching engagement. We'll review past assessments, performance reviews, and any other internal documentation that may be relevant to the coaching process. We'll identify preliminary coaching goals as well as key stakeholders, direct reports, and peers who will be asked to share feedback (approximately six to ten). STEP 2 EXPLORATORY ANALYSIS STEP 3 PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN (PDP) I will analyze the results of the above activities and condense the identified themes into a summary report. You and I will then review this report and, together, we'll draft a professional development action plan. It will be tailored to meet your professional needs and will encompass most – if not all – of the following: STEP 4 PDP REVIEW WITH STAKEHOLDERS You and I will then share this plan with your leadership to reach consensus and obtain everyone’s active support for implementing. |
PHASE 2 Active Coaching |
|---|
Upon completion of phase one, phase two will begin and last for a duration of 6 to 12 months. This phase includes: COACHING SESSIONS (twice per month) During this time, you receive one to two hours of coaching twice per month. You and I will have intense, one-on-one, content-rich discussions after which is a two-week period where you can put into practice your newly acquired knowledge and skills. Adhering to an every-other-week coaching schedule will keep our coaching conversations and action plans top-of-mind and moving forward. 'JUST-IN-TIME' SITUATIONAL COACHING On occasion, you may have an urgent question, a request for feedback, or a unique situation that needs an immediate response. In these situations, you are encouraged to take advantage of the unlimited on-demand email and telephone discussions included with this engagement. SHADOWING To assist with the coaching process, when necessary and appropriate, I will observe you in one-on-one exchanges, small group meetings, and/or presentations. QUARTERLY UPDATES WITH STAKEHOLDERS If your Executive Coaching is paid for and supported by your employer, we will meet one-on-one with your manager and other stakeholders to provide progress updates, obtain feedback, and better understand any emerging organizational issues relevant to your development. I will also share common themes and/or reoccurring challenges observed during the coaching that, if appropriately addressed, present your organization with opportunities to ensure its leaders have an opportunity to do their best work and experience a meaningful and satisfying career. COACHING EVALUATION AND FINAL REVIEW Again, if your coaching is paid for and supported by your employer, you and I will meet with key stakeholders to review of the objectives of your Professional Development Plan, evaluate results achieved, and discuss next steps for continued success. |

Why They Recommend Having a Free Consultation Call
BRAD
Benefiting from an executive coaching experience with Starla has been a career highlight for which I take great pride. Developing a heightened level of emotional intelligence and situational awareness built upon a better understanding of my values and natural tendencies has translated into immense personal and professional growth. Starla has truly helped me become a more effective communicator, leader and the very best version of myself.
Angela
I was being challenged by the leadership style of a specific personality on my non-profit board, for which I am a very passionate advocate. However, at the time, I was considering resigning because it had just become too difficult. Starla and I regularly strategized on how to address substantive issues with this person in a way that preserved my brand, but accurately conveyed my concerns. My time with Starla helped me to trust myself and confidently communicate my viewpoint in the face of difficult circumstances. Presumably, I was successful in doing so as my fellow board members later voted me into executive leadership of the organization.
LORI
After decades in the industry and leading various departments, Starla helped guide me in a role where I was to influence and lead without direct authority. She gave me the necessary tools, focused on the positive, and enhanced the appropriate competencies in order for me to be successful. It was obvious she understands corporate dynamics and is an outstanding career coach.
cASSANDRA
When I met Starla, I did not know I was looking for or needed her executive presence coaching. I was so moved by her presentation that I signed up with her right away. I thought I was confident before Starla, but became more confident as I worked with her and got rid of some head trash I did not even know I had. I would recommend Starla to any up and coming professional who wants to continue to polish their executive presence skills.
dANIELLE
In the past two years, Starla has helped me change my life in ways I never dreamed possible. She helped me identify my goals and encouraged me to go after my dreams. Her coaching has truly been one of the most transformative events of my life. She asks the right questions to lead me to very solid decisions. She helps me focus and prioritize. I have been better able to look at situations in alternative ways, thus finding very meaningful solutions. I am a better person today because of the coaching I received from Starla.
JASON
My coaching with Starla helped me to step back and look at difficult situations in a different light. Now, when confronted with a challenging situation, I immediately assess the behavioral profile of the person I'm working with to better respond in a way that gets the end result I am looking for. I've already resolved several difficult negotiations by evaluating the situation first before immediately responding.
AMIE
Working with Starla has revolutionized my very approach to life. What I’ve learned (and continue to learn) in coaching sessions with Starla as well as the Executive Women’s Peer Advisory Forum has changed the trajectory of every aspect of my life - my law practice, my personal life, the way I evaluate my successes and set goals for the future - for the better.
ERIN
Starla embraces what it truly means to be a coach. She recognizes her clients' full potential and intuitively knows when to listen, when to encourage and when to push.

GWEN
Starla changed my life. She is incredible at what she does. I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to work with her. She helped me improve the way I value myself and to create a much larger vision for my long-term goals and success.
