Executive Coaching

Take off to leadership

Michele is an executive coach and leadership development professional who works with leaders to create authentic change that produces real and sustainable results. By applying research-based approaches that foster creativity and self-discovery, and emotional intelligence, she helps clients tap into their resourcefulness, trust their instincts about potential solutions, and move both their organizations and careers forward.

SkyRocket uses proven tools to uncover different perspectives on leaders’ abilities and challenges, including assessment tools such as Hogan, REAL Leadership 360, Myers-Briggs Type Inventory, and Strengths-Finder. In addition, SkyRocket has created a unique instrument for self-exploration: a self-illustrated comic book clients create to envision their future. With this approach, illustration and storytelling clarify clients’ goals, outline a trajectory, and propel them forward.

Two areas where SkyRocket is currently focusing its executive coaching energy are:

Non-Profit C-Suite Leadership

Leaders in non-profit organizations are expected to wear many hats. You balance the demands of creating a financially sustainable organization while honoring the organization’s mission and ensuring that staff, community members, boards and donors do the same. You have ambitious goals that will deeply impact your community, while balancing complex organizational dynamics and an environment of scarcity. Elevate your leadership potential with SkyRocket's leadership training programs, designed to equip you with the skills and knowledge to excel in leadership and management, including managing the board of directors. Your board may be waiting to see how you’ll lead the charge, and you’d like someone in your corner This is SkyRocket’s sweet spot: we stand by you, offering support and encouragement while elevating your skills and even challenging your decisions. Our outside perspective may help you uncover unexpected solutions.

Executive Transition

A new, much bigger job has just been offered to you and you want to hit the ground running. SkyRocket’s New Leader Integration is a structured process where leaders and their teams share first impressions, experiences and expectations with each other. This process accelerates team orientation, creates psychological safety, encourages trust-building and quickly builds your shared language.
