I'm a quadruple-trained and ICF-certified executive coach who specializes in working with venture-backed startup founders, leaders and their teams, and corporate executives. Before I started coaching, I founded and exited two companies myself so I “get” entrepreneurs. I love coaching gifted, ambitious people who sense life and work could be infinitely more inspiring and impactful with the right support. I help them figure out how to release what's blocking them using a customized, interdisciplinary approach and a thought-provoking, creative process grounded in science. We upgrade their interpersonal intelligence, relationships, communication, self mastery, management skills and leadership performance. Using insight, tools, support and accountability, together we transform the way they lead, achieve and succeed. Current and recent clients include: NASA, Naval Air Systems Command, UNICEF, National Geographic Channel, Binti, Decurion, Enpro Industries, Dishcraft Robotics, Agilent Technologies, Dishcraft Robotics, Revel, Riya Collective, Traptic, Boulder Care, Wild Wonder and more. Specialty services beyond executive coaching: * 360 behavioral feedback assessments to identify greatest opportunities for growth and their costs to leaving unaddressed * Conflict resolution sessions for co-founders - preventive, crisis and maintenance sessions* Jungian Coaching - Powerful method allows client access to an untapped reservoir of wisdom, insight, support and creativity. www.mythosleadership.com
