The Weight You Carry.

The unspoken burdens of healthcare leadership—difficult decisions, staff shortages, compliance demands, family expectations—manifest as the thoughts that wake you at 3 AM. These aren't just random anxieties. They're revealing your leadership patterns and the weight you silently carry every day.

Our specialized coaching program helps you identify these patterns, break cycles of reactivity, and reclaim your energy and sense of purpose. Together, we'll help you emerge as a stronger, more self-aware leader who can guide your team through the complex challenges of healthcare without sacrificing your own well-being.

Why Start With Assessments?

You can't change what you don't first understand.

Leadership transformation begins with clarity about your unique patterns, strengths, and blind spots.

The assessment phase creates the foundation for all our work together by illuminating the unconscious patterns driving your leadership decisions, especially those that surface at 3 AM.

By mapping your specific leadership terrain first, we avoid generic solutions and instead craft targeted strategies that leverage your natural strengths while addressing your unique challenges. These insights become your leadership compass, guiding all subsequent coaching and implementation work toward sustainable and authentic change.

We begin by understanding the patterns that drive your leadership decisions and the weight you carry:

Gallup Top 5 Strengths Assessment

  • Identify your natural talents and leadership strengths in the healthcare context

  • Discover your zone of genius for optimal performance under healthcare pressures

  • Understand potential blind spots that may trigger 3 AM anxieties

  • Determine specific needs to thrive in your long-term care leadership role

Enneagram Assessment

  • Leverage the pattern-recognition framework to uncover unconscious patterns driving your leadership

  • Understand your core motivations and how they shape your healthcare leadership approach

  • Identify your specific Instinctual Bias and Enneagram type to recognize automatic patterns

  • Gain awareness needed to interrupt reactive cycles before they take hold

  • Chart your personalized growth path to move from automatic reactions to deliberate choices

  • I’m certified in TNE Enneagram but use the ATA Enneagram model

360° Leadership Assessment

  • Structured interviews with key stakeholders in your healthcare ecosystem:

    • Your supervisor or board members

    • Direct reports (Resident Home Area Managers and department heads)

    • Peers (other directors and healthcare leaders)

    • Key stakeholders (families, regulatory contacts, interdepartmental collaborators)

  • Focus on gathering concrete examples of leadership strengths and patterns under pressure

  • Special attention to communication effectiveness and follow-through on care commitments

One-on-One Executive Coaching (6-9 Month Program)

Together, we'll transform reactive patterns into skillful, deliberate leadership practices:

  • Make decisions from a place of calm confidence rather than a compulsive reaction

  • Build genuine trust with staff, residents, and families through consistent communication

  • Create sustainable systems that don't depend solely on your presence

  • Move from constant firefighting to strategic leadership

  • Develop innovative solutions to critical Human Health Resource challenges

  • Support your team through post-pandemic burnout and resilience challenges

  • Align your leadership actions with the care values that first called you to this work

Ready to Lift the Weight of Leadership?

This program is designed specifically for long-term care leaders who are committed to excellence but recognize the personal cost of compassionate leadership. Through assessment, coaching, and implementation support, you will develop the skills and systems necessary to break the cycle of reactive leadership and lead with confidence, clarity, and renewed energy.

Your dedication to care is unquestionable. Now it's time to extend that same care to yourself and your leadership journey. Together, we'll develop sustainable leadership practices that safeguard what matters most—your well-being, your team's trust, and the care values that initially drew you to this work.
