Coaching

You show up every day to lead your team with compassion, courage, and conviction. But who’s supporting you? It can be lonely at the top, so we create a safe, judgment-free space for exceptional leaders to thrive. We’ll help you:

  • Pause to ask yourself, “Who do I want to be as a leader?” Your answer will guide our journey and provide a roadmap for getting you where you want to be. 

  • Celebrate your own strengths and uncover the self-imposed barriers that keep you from blossoming into a remarkable leader.  

  • Believe in yourself. If you trust your gut, your team will, too.

  • Build an intentional and inspiring culture, maximize results, and turn rock stars into superstars.

  • After just a few months of leadership coaching with Debbie, my confidence and clarity have improved dramatically. Colleagues and friends notice the difference, too. I’m grateful to have found a challenging and empathic coach!

Calling all coaches! You can only take your clients as deep as you’ve gone yourself. A certified mentor and supervisory coach will get you to the next level so your own clients flourish (yes, our Danest coaches have mentor coaches!). It takes courage to be an outstanding coach; let’s partner together to make that happen. We focus on:

  • Professional development. What is your next certification? We’ll help you hone your coaching skills and Core Competencies as you earn your ACC, PCC, or other certifications.

  • Business growth. Starting or expanding a business can be overwhelming. Together, we’ll develop strategies for marketing, networking, and creating income streams. 

  • Personal growth. Can you remember the last time you put YOU first? We’ll take your Personal Foundations to the next level. If limiting beliefs are hindering you, we’ll uncover the fears and give you the courage to thrive. 

  • Internal coaching. Being an internal coach can be particularly tricky and complicated. We’ll work through your challenges and approach so you can maximize your effectiveness. 

  • As a mentor coach, Debbie’s wisdom, empathy, and knowledge make every session enlightening and productive. She enables you to hone your talents, minimize your weaknesses, and be your best. I heartily recommend Debbie to help you achieve your goals.

Do you ever feel like everyone else has it all figured out and wonder what the heck you’re doing wrong? You’re not alone, and you’re not doing anything wrong! Admitting you don’t have all the answers shows you’re ready to create the exceptional life you deserve. Partnering with a certified Danest coach allows you to push through your fears and your self-imposed barriers. You matter, why not partner with a coach? Our life and retirement coaching partnerships explore:

  • What does success mean to you? 

  • What gets in your way of making those big life decisions?

  • What are your retirement concerns?

  • How are you preventing burnout or stress?

  • I highly recommend Debbie as an empathetic, pragmatic coach. She sees the best in you and helps you believe in yourself. We built a plan to put my strengths and passions to work and then brought this vision to life.
