Executive & Leadership Coaching: A Thinking Partnership Approach

Quickly, what is it?

Every leader gets stuck at some point. You may be circling the same challenge without progress, struggling with a tough decision, or carrying doubts you can’t share openly inside your organization. Coaching creates the space to step back, think clearly, and move forward.

This role is especially valuable for leaders who need:
A Safe Space: To talk through ideas, challenges, and doubts without judgment.
A Fresh Perspective: With experience across industries, I bring new ways of looking at challenges that go beyond typical industry thinking.
Resilience for the Long Haul: Today’s world demands leaders who can adapt, pivot, and endure. Coaching helps you build the clarity, confidence, and strategies to stay grounded and keep going.

Why Leaders Seek Coaching

Every leader eventually gets stuck.

Maybe you’re circling the same issue without progress. Maybe you feel isolated with no one you can be fully honest with. Or maybe the path forward just isn’t clear.

That’s when coaching makes a difference. Coaching creates a confidential space to slow down, think clearly, and uncover fresh ways forward.

My approach is grounded in what I call a Thinking Partnership. Inspired by Nancy Kline’s Thinking Environment, I focus on creating the conditions for your best thinking: deep attention, incisive questions, and space to challenge the assumptions that might be keeping you stuck.

As one longtime client put it:

“Bill doesn’t hand you solutions on a platter; he asks the questions that make you realize you’ve been looking at the problem all wrong.”

What to Expect

One Work Session: Together we’ll take on a pressing challenge where you feel stuck. I’ll bring a fresh, cross-industry perspective — whether that means reframing the issue through design thinking or exploring long-term options with futures thinking. By the end, you’ll see new possibilities and next steps.

Ongoing Partnership: If you’re ready for a deeper engagement, we’ll start with a framing session to understand your goals and vision. Then, we’ll meet twice a month to work through whatever’s most important. Each session builds momentum, helping you find clarity, regain confidence, and build resilience.

Over time, leaders often notice:
Clarity: Seeing old challenges with fresh eyes.
Momentum: Breaking through inertia and moving forward.
Confidence: Trusting your decisions and leadership again.
Resilience: Strengthening your ability to adapt and thrive.

How It Works

Frequency: Twice monthly sessions keep progress steady while leaving space for reflection.
Commitment: We’ll begin with an upfront three-month agreement to build rhythm and trust.

Why Work With Me?

I’ve led organizations across corporate, nonprofit, and entrepreneurial settings. I know firsthand the weight leaders carry and the pressure of tough decisions.

Others describe me this way:

“Bill has a rare ability to bring alignment to unstructured groups, build consensus, and guide teams toward a shared North Star.”

“Bill is a connector. He quickly grasps complex ideas and instinctively knows which people in his network can help move good ideas forward.”

Why I’m Here: More than just professional experience, I’m actively committed to my own growth. I’m doing “the work” of self-reflection and personal development, facing uncomfortable truths, and working to be better. This dedication to growth fuels my work with clients, as I’m on the same path of continuous learning and evolving. I bring this growth-oriented mindset to every partnership, offering empathy, integrity, and support in every step of your journey.
