Leadership Coaching to Align Your Impact, Influence And Results

Book Your Free Discovery Call

Ever get the feeling that something about your leadership is not quite right? Maybe your feedback has shifted, your vision isn't landing the way you expected, or results aren't following your effort… But you can't quite pinpoint why.

I provide leadership coaching, clarity and support to help accomplished women leaders identify what's quietly limiting them and what’s within their power to shift so they can better align their impact, influence, and effectiveness.

Do you feel capable, experienced, yet oddly stuck or ineffective in your leadership role?

Maybe these sound familiar…
→ You're capable and trusted, but leadership feels like managing chaos, and you
→ Are constantly firefighting instead of leading strategically
→ Your calendar is full, but you're not sure you're working on what actually matters
→ You wonder if there's a gap between how you intend to show up and how you're actually perceived, but you're navigating without a map
→ You've been told you're "doing great," yet you feel stretched thin, second-guessing decisions, or carrying more than you should
→ You're uncomfortable with how often you default to keeping the peace, saying yes, or softening your message to avoid conflict
→ You know you need to delegate more, but it feels faster to just do it yourself, even though it's burning you out

If even one of these resonates, you're not alone, and you're not stuck. 

What you're experiencing is fixable once you can actually see the patterns driving it.


What if I told you things could be different?

What you’re experiencing isn’t a motivation problem or a capability gap. 

It's a disconnect between your intentions and how your leadership is actually landing, and most leaders are navigating this completely in the dark.

The beliefs and assumptions you hold about what makes a "good leader" are shaping your behavior in ways you can't see. 

And without clear data, you're left guessing, overcompensating, or self-correcting in isolation.

Which is why I use the Leadership Circle Profile.

What is the Leadership Circle Profile?

The Leadership Circle Profile is the only 360° assessment that measures not just your leadership behaviors, but the underlying beliefs and assumptions that drive them.

It maps two critical domains:

→ Creative Competencies: Behaviors and mindsets that lead to high fulfillment and high achievement leadership (like strategic focus, authentic relating, systems awareness, and bringing out the best in others)

→ Reactive Tendencies: Self-limiting behaviors that stem from fear-based beliefs and assumptions (like seeking approval, protecting your image, or controlling outcomes)

Most assessments measure what you do. The Leadership Circle Profile measures the beliefs and assumptions of the habits of thought that run much of your behavior.

It shows you the connection between how you think and how you lead. 

When you can see which beliefs are driving your reactive patterns, you gain the leverage to make transformative change, not just polish skills or force new behaviors that don't stick.

Here’s What Changes When You Know What’s Limiting You

From wondering → to knowing

You move from "I think I'm doing okay" to concrete data about your leadership patterns, how you're perceived, and where you're leaking influence

From reactive → to intentional

You stop firefighting and second-guessing. You gain clarity on the specific behaviors to shift so your leadership feels grounded, credible, and sustainable

From exhausted → to effective

You learn which of your default patterns are actually creating more work, disempowering your team, or undermining your authority—and you replace them with approaches that feel aligned and energizing

From isolated → to supported

You're no longer self-correcting in a vacuum. You have a thinking partner who helps you see your blind spots, test new strategies, and make changes that stick

I want to Align my Leadership

The Align Leadership Framework

A structured, insight-driven process designed to help you understand how your leadership is landing and recalibrate with intention.

Process Steps Section
1 Clarity
Orient before you act

First, we clarify:

→ What matters most in this season of your leadership
→ The context, pressures, and expectations shaping how you show up
→ What meaningful progress actually looks like in your role

2 Insight
Understand what’s driving how you lead

Through assessment tools and reflective coaching, we explore:

→ The beliefs and assumptions influencing your decisions and behaviors.
→ Strengths you rely on and where they may be overextended.
→ Patterns that support your effectiveness, as well as those that quietly limit your impact.

3 Action
Turn insight into real-world change

In this phase, we:

→ Identify a small number of high-leverage behavior shifts
→ Co-create an action plan aligned with your values, goals, and work environment
→ Test new strategies directly in your day-to-day leadership - conversations, decisions, boundaries, and influence

4 Accountability
Make growth sustainable

Across our work together, we:

→ Reflect on what’s working and what’s evolving
→ Adjust approaches as demands and contexts shift
→ Stay accountable to what matters most - not just what’s urgent

Ready to Align Your Leadership to Achieve More Success?

I've designed two coaching pathways—Align Insight and Align 360—so you can choose the level of depth that fits your needs. 

Both follow the same proven process, but differ in the assessment tool and engagement length.

What both pathways give you:

A Leadership Circle Profile: This provides concrete data about your leadership patterns, not guesswork or generic feedback, but a clear picture of where you're strong and where you're unknowingly limiting yourself

A Personalized Leadership Development Plan: This plan is grounded in your actual context, role, and goals, not a one-size-fits-all approach

Real-world application with support to test new strategies in your day-to-day leadership and make adjustments in real time

Accountability that sticks so changes become sustainable habits, not short-term fixes you abandon when things get busy

The difference? Align Insight uses a self-assessment for focused clarity. Align 360 adds comprehensive 360° feedback for leaders who want the full picture of how they're perceived across their organization.

Who This Is For

You’re Likely a Fit If

→ You sense your leadership needs recalibration, not reinvention
→ You’re open to examine patterns, not just polishing skills
→ You value clarity, depth, and sustainable growth environment
→ You want feedback that’s honest, nuanced, and useful
→ You're open to changing behaviors that no longer serve you
→ You’ve realized that your own habits might be the very thing slowing down your team

You’re especially ready if you’re noticing things like:

→ You’re prioritizing "being liked" or keeping the peace over saying what needs to be said
→ You end most days exhausted by emergencies, with no time left for the strategic work you were hired to do
→ You’re the bottleneck for decisions, leaving you exhausted and your team disempowered
→ A persistent gap between how you think you’re showing up and the results you’re actually getting
→ You hesitate to take up space or claim authority, even when earned

Hi, I'm Lois

I'm an ICF-certified leadership coach with a JD and an MA in Organizational Psychology. My background spans law, technology, higher education, and professional services. As a leadership and confidence coach for women professionals, I work with leaders navigating complexity, transition, and growth.

I started this work because I saw too many talented leaders burning out trying to lead the way they thought they should instead of discovering how they naturally lead best.

My work integrates research-backed frameworks with practical coaching to help leaders move from self-doubt to self-trust and from reactive leadership to intentional impact.

I believe leadership doesn’t always need more effort — it needs clearer alignment. This work is about helping leaders slow down just enough to understand themselves, and then move forward with confidence, clarity, and purpose.

I hope to partner with you soon- let's explore which pathway is right for you.

How do I know which pathway is right for me?
+

If you want focused clarity and coaching, Align Insight is a strong starting point. If you want deep, data-driven insight and comprehensive feedback, the Align 360 is ideal. We’ll discuss which option fits best during your discovery call.

What is the Payment Structure?
+

You may pay in full or choose a 50/50 payment plan (50% upfront and 50% due 30 days after the start of the engagement).

Can my Employer Sponsor This?
+

Yes. Many participants use professional development or learning budgets. I’m happy to work with you to make employer sponsorship straightforward.

After you apply, you can request:
→ An invoice
→ A program overview for your employer
→ Language to support internal approval

What is the Leadership Circle Profile?
+

The Leadership Circle Profile is a world-class 360° assessment that measures both your Creative Competencies (behaviors like strategic focus, authentic relating, and systems awareness that drive effectiveness) and your Reactive Tendencies—fear-based, self-protective patterns that limit your impact.

Common reactive patterns include:
→ Controlling patterns (perfectionism, micromanaging, needing to be right)
→ Protecting patterns (emotional distance, cynicism, intellectual superiority)
→ Complying patterns (people-pleasing, avoiding conflict, playing it safe)

The LCP gives you a complete "heat map" of your leadership effectiveness—showing you not just what you do, but why you do it. This insight is what makes sustainable change possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

You Don't Have to Navigate this Alone

Leadership isn't supposed to feel this heavy—or this uncertain.
