Leadership Coaching

COACHING MODEL AND APPROACH

Many of us are now working from home and evaluating any possible change, with perhaps an increased focus on (and time for) professional and personal development. We’re all trying to make sense of all the changes that have occurred in the workplace and in the world.

Working with a coach is a great way for successful individuals and teams to:

  • Set and achieve higher quality goals and reach their well-defined objectives
  • Create effective strategies
  • Optimize team performance
  • Improve communications and leadership skills
  • Understand and motivate others
  • Eliminate rather than tolerate the negatives
  • Achieve a balanced life
  • Make better decisions
  • Look for, recognize, and act on environmental clues
  • Accelerate development in business, skills, knowledge, relationships

SUPERWOMAN COACHING

Judy Feld combines the many lessons learned from a long corporate career and extensive coaching experience with women executives and managers to provide solution-focused coaching with a strategic approach to SuperWoman.

Who is SuperWoman? Do you see her in the mirror?

How can SuperWoman manage it all? We are all pressed for time and searching for balance, peace and joy. Executive and managerial women must focus on trends in the workplace, issues of loyalty and security, company culture and politics, and future career satisfaction. Entrepreneurial and professional women are also juggling many complex priorities—all competing for their time. Female leaders in fields of science, technology, engineering or math (STEM) face career and work-life balance challenges every single day.

We are living in complex times, and we know that both women and men have:

Multiple Roles

Complex Lives

$

Family Responsibilities

Over Commitment-itis

Women may (more so):

Take time off

Do more at home/elder care

Earn less!

Judy Feld combines the many lessons learned from a long corporate career and extensive coaching experience with women executives and managers to provide solution-focused coaching with a strategic approach to SuperWoman – individually and in groups. Individual coaching focuses on your specific agenda and objectives. Coaching by telephone is geographically independent, cost effective and efficient.

SuperWoman's cape is becoming tattered!

RETIREMENT RESILIENCY

If you are 50 or older and looking for work, or just planning ahead, working with a career coach is an effective way to create and implement career strategies.  OR…choose a completely new direction that suits you—become a SeniorPreneur.

Who are the 'working retired' and what do they want and need?

  • 27% of adults in 2020 reported that they’re “retired and still working.”
  • There are now about 70 million Baby Boomers (born 1946-1964) in the U.S. The oldest are 75 and the youngest are in their fifties. 
  • They are redefining what it means to be older, living longer, and working longer.
  • From a 2021 study by seniorliving.org:
    55% of workers intend to keep working in retirement. 14% want to work full-time. 41% say they will work part-time.  
  • The growth in self-employment since 2000 has been fueled by people over 50…and by many much older than that.
Boomers have resilience, resourcefulness and options. 
Boomers may lose their jobs, but not their experience and wisdom. Working with a coach can help you identify your priorities, strengths and values.  If you would like to receive additional information about retirement resiliency or discuss your individual options contact Judy and indicate that you are interested in this topic.

Testimonials

A coach provides a rich set of tools that grows through the years to support a client in each new opportunity and challenge.
“I am a walking example of the value of long-term coaching. When we launched the coaching journey in 2005, I was already quite senior in my career. Each new leadership step I took came with a myriad of new experiences for which my existing set of competencies needed to be stretched. Judy has supported me in the evolution of my skills, insights, and talents to successfully meet each new stage. She’s helped to extract what was deep inside me and expand it; I think about it as a tool bag that has grown and grown through the years to support me in each new leadership challenge.”
~ Carla Smith, MA, CNM, FHIMSS
Coaching is an ongoing strategic partnership. A coach can provide an “auxiliary brain”.
“I have worked with Judy Feld as my coach for 21 years. She knows more about me than my closest friends and keeps up to date on the many factors that have an impact on me. Most of our time together involves her listening, processing and then responding, clarifying, and gathering data about me. Judy coaches me regularly regarding timely challenges I have faced based on this knowledge, and supports me in developing both strategies and tactics. I haven't needed time-limited, focused, goal-setting. I can and do set realistic goals which have enabled me to achieve and master many things. What I have needed is an objective, knowledgeable and effective coach to assist me in my life journey. An additional benefit in this relationship is the occasional monumental insight she has provided on a specific issue I faced based on her extensive knowledge of me. I have fondly referred to her as my auxiliary brain.”
~ Ralph S. Smith, Jr., MD, Brig Gen (Ret.) USAF CMO; Medical Director​
Continuity and longevity bring perspective to the shared work. A coach with a good memory can “see around the corners.”
“For over 20 years, I've worked with Judy Feld as my coach, with only minimal breaks to accommodate family needs. She has always brought wisdom, cogent coaching and empathy to our work, and still sees around the corners in ways I cannot do for myself. I am a huge believer in creating a long-term relationship with your coach. They watch you grow and evolve through a huge variety of settings and challenges, and have the continuity and longevity to bring perspective (and a great memory) to the shared work.”
~ Caroline Adams Miller, MAPP: Speaker* Author* Educator* Coach
“Compounded interest over 10 years adds up to a lot of value. The benefits of unbiased coaching conversations increase exponentially."
“When I initiated a coaching relationship some 10 years ago I wanted someone who could ask the right questions in the hopes of re-framing, & ultimately help me get out of mental locks. I later learned this was not an easy coaching assignment. Judy demonstrated the intelligence, practical business & people sense, as well as the gentle accountability to fill that role spectacularly. I maintained our coaching relationship when I took over my CEO role about a year later. The issues I faced were broad & changed week to week, so working with someone who knew me & was willing & able to work with that changing, demanding mandate was critical. Judy was my sounding board for 6 years and helped me sort through those business and personal issues so I could be the best version of myself. For the last two years, we are doing it again. I am transitioning & starting a new company. Compounded interest over 10-years adds up to a lot of value. During our weekly hour, I have the luxury to step out of the day-to-day & get perspective on that “last critical 5 to 10%” on the issues old or new with all their subtleties. Driving to be the best at any role has to benefit from professional feedback, consistently applied. I know my relationship with Judy has made me a better executive & person.”
~ Todd C. Hart, CEO
