Self as Coach, Self as Leader focuses on the concept of use of self as instrument—a key dimension in the practice of developmental coaching. While remedial, tactical or performance-based coaching may be sufficient to aid the client over the short term, developmental coaching places emphasis on the whole person. This innovative approach supplies coaches and leaders who are called upon to coach with a roadmap for exploring their internal landscape to strengthen the use of self as the most important tool in coaching. Along the way, both coaches and leaders will learn how to strengthen and harness the six broad dimensions integral to great coaching and great leadership—presence, empathy, range of feelings, boundaries and systems, embodiment, and courage. As coaches and leaders, we need this roadmap to make the very best use of ourselves as our most important resource. To make the leap from good enough to truly great. To explore what’s below the surface. To transform us as leaders and do our best work.

I have been the leader of the Hudson organization over the past two decades. Hudson is one of the earliest coach services organization in the US. Founded in 1986 the Hudson Institute of Coaching has certified over 1,500 great leaders to be even greater coaches! Hudson is an extraordinary community of coaches actively engaged in their ongoing learning around the globe. In addition to professional coach training, our work includes Coach Supervision and a Master Coach Program.In our corporate work, we provide a complete suite of coaching services for organizations serving all levels of leadership from the early manager to the seasoned C-Suite executive. We train cadres of internal coaches, provide coaching skills for managers, deliver coach supervision to internal coaches, engage in team coaching and offer vetted cadres of senior coaches.I am passionate about the many facets of our work, including:▪ Making a profound difference in the lives of the leaders and the organizations we are privileged to work with; ▪ Creating experiential learning that is dynamic and enduring for all; ▪ Holding the bar for quality extraordinarily high in all we do; ▪ Making our world a better place through our good work.Today successful leaders need the capacity to manage themselves, consciously and continually grow their capacity and effectively operate from the inside out anchored in purpose, passion, vision, and staying power. Hudson trains leaders, professionals and coaches to facilitate these qualities in their clients, and works with companies to instill these qualities within the culture and work teams of the organization.
