I’m all about Coaching Today and Creating Tomorrow® especially with those in higher ed striving to move beyond transformational into TRANSFORMATIVE leadership. Each coaching client brings something different to the table, and many have overlooked an extremely powerful tool - their leadership narrative.Be sure yours is fresh and authentic. When looking to save time, save money, and advance a career – a COMPELLING LEADERSHIP NARRATIVE is like the golden ticket to success!WHY? The narrative clarifies to others who you are, what you believe, and what you are willing to defend. This compelling story touches the hearts of your employees and generates the emotions that motivate. Enough leaders were missing this huge opportunity that I created a simple jumpstart process with an easy-to-use template that anyone can download from LJcoaching.com.I’ve been in the higher ed arena for more than two decades and it’s never been boring! Maybe chaotic, definitely challenging, yet always rewarding knowing that we add value to people’s lives – often in ways we’ll never know.While our higher ed ecosystem is complex, it’s one of the most fascinating worlds to work in. And now, we are in a huge Ocean of Opportunity! Wow!• The upward curve of exponential change is here – we are actually in it!• Another 5 billion minds are about to connect to the Internet – the possibilities to enroll students, to innovate, and to co-create are endless.I believe higher ed leaders will have more impact on society than ever before. Using the Creativity Centered Coaching® approach, I get to support bold leaders in creating environments where• the whole is greater than the sum of the parts,• space exists for innate creativity and ideas to flow,• language for co-creative conversations generates innovative solutions, and• organizational capability is expanding.You know you are ready to partner with me when your thoughts are future-forward and:• you’re empowering others to find solutions,• there are more ideas floating around than you know what to do with, and• you can't wait to get to work!You want to increase ROI and VOI.I want to close the gap between the world’s complexity and life-long learning.WE can do both!Let’s start a conversation and create the future together.Specialties: leadership coaching, team coaching, entrepreneur forcus, retiree 'what's next' coaching, level III conversation, creative transition, public speakingAKA: Dr. Linda Johnson, Dr. J., LJ, Linda Guillen
