I design and lead a small-group coaching arc that couples with a seminar-based leadership development program.

Seminars engage leaders on topics such as networking, influential communication, financial acumen, and managing conflict. Group coaching provides leaders the space to explore how they will integrate and apply learning in their context tomorrow.

Group coaching took this from a leadership program at work to a place where I felt I belonged, I could grow and stretch into myself, and I could get to know other members on a deeply personal level. Those are things that made this a really incredible experience for me. I could chart my own growth and development as a leader and a human in a way I didn't expect at the beginning. The coaching component is so incredible and Claire was the greatest partner to all of us that we could have ever dreamed of in that setting!

I am a founding coach, collaborating with a team of coaches to provide group and 1:1 coaching to leaders in a seminar-based leadership certificate program.

In group coaching, I ensure leaders create more powerful connections with one another and the content. 1:1 coaching offers the space for individual assessment debrief and exploration of how to put takeaways into action in their context.

“My coach was excellent. I was impressed with how insightful she was and able to see challenges as opportunities. I was most skeptical about the group sessions and individual coaching, but I think this was valuable to the course and ultimately helped solidify the lessons I was learning along the way.”

I coach two PhD researchers collaborating in execution of a 5-year longitudinal study funded by a USDA Grant (Total Award >$7M)

I blend 1:1 coaching and dyad coaching so each leader has the space to explore their unique strengths and goals, as well as their their dynamic and presence as a dyad. Beyond coaching, I observe team meeting spaces to prompt deeper reflection on team interaction.

We focused on these Key Focus Areas for Coaching (as a starting point):

• Case studies that can have broader application

• Leveraging our complementary strengths to share leadership role

• Empower team to work at their individual top/full capacity

• Dealing with requests from team for “things” we don’t really want to give – when their needs don’t align with our preferences (e.g., requests that feel micromanage-y, hard deadlines)

I designed a professional development series for faculty to bridge institutional goals into their department culture, communication and shared expectations.

"Claire has an uncanny ability to disarm those in the room and immediately create a safe and trusting space, meeting individuals where they are in their journey. Her warmth, care, and holistic approach to development allows those she interacts with to truly be themselves using empathy and grace to engage in meaningful conversations to ground others in their vision and values to allow everyone to reach their full potential."
