Some of Sally's specialities include:

Leadership Coaching: Highly trained to coach according to the core competencies of the International Coaching Federation.

Executive Coaching: Creating a time and space for senior-level leaders to explore the complexities of their role with a thought partner clarifies decisions. These coaching conversations result in more intentional actions and behaviors that align with values and purpose.

Embodied leadership/Somatics: Intentionally leveraging the embodiment of behaviors, thoughts and actions, connects leaders to a most valuable resource, leading to more compelling and authentic presence.

Team Development: Strengthening leadership and building team cohesion allow for greater organizational health and success, as well as personal health and professional fulfillment. Whether developing individual skills (e.g. with powerful communications methods) and/or team cohesion, you can expect improved relationships and more positive outcomes.

Adult Development: The relatively new field of adult development explores the way adults grow and change over time. In today’s challenging times, learning how one sees and makes sense of the world and how deeply-held beliefs shape responses can open up new possibilities for conversation, support and greater leadership agility. 

BJEDI (Belonging, Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion): Recognizing, embracing, and valuing difference is an indicator of individual and organizational success. We all share a responsibility to express the kind of leadership that will change structure, mindset, and environments that the future demands and deserves.

Personal Resource Management: Applying the science of the brain and modern learning of the body's reaction to stress provide key resources to increasing key leadership functions; such as making decisions, collaborating, managing change, resilience and regulating emotions.
