Lawyers and Corporate Professionals
BLUEPRINT for BETTER LIVING
Executive Coaching is designed for professionals who are ready to elevate their careers and lives and remove the obstacles in their way to peak performance. When career, family, and personal responsibilities intersect, it can feel overwhelming just to keep up, let alone excel. If you’re feeling this way, you’re certainly not alone.
Valerie coaches professionals to navigate this intersection with energy, intention, and a plan. She will take you step-by-step through your unique issues and life to create a plan that will give you MORE:
- Control over your daily life;
- Clarity on your plan for peak leadership and/or practice management;
- Energy to be more present at work and at home;
- Strategies on managing guilt and overwhelm.
“Being a lawyer herself, Valerie understands the demands that are placed on me each day at the office and in the courtroom. Beyond that, she supports me in furthering my career while managing my responsibilities as a mother. We go straight to the tough issues of juggling my priorities and asserting myself in a high-stress environment such that I can be successful at work, which success is so critical to my personal fulfillment.”
– Lawyer, National Law Firm, Ottawa
Valerie’s clients
Valerie works with corporate professionals and lawyers who are intelligent and highly motivated; work in fast paced environments on complex matters; won’t settle for mediocre in their personal and professional lives and as a result, often live with the “burden of the riches” syndrome.
The “burden of the riches” is the pressure felt by people who want it all because they are capable of having it all:
- They can go the distance in their careers and beyond (when not feeling tired or guilty);
- They could switch tomorrow and be very successful in whatever they choose next (which can cause anxiety and constant questioning);
- They are not only driven professionally, but in other areas of life as well;
- On top of it all, they set high standards for themselves as parents and for their children.
All this requires a significant, daily commitment. It can be overwhelming. They may not have the time or energy to focus on anything but doing the best they can at whatever is in front of them right now.
Valerie sees this pattern often – clients getting through the days putting out fires, never having the time or mental space to plan ahead, schedule in what matters, and enjoy living in the present. Then they decide they want to move on, or the person beside them receives an interesting opportunity, and they realize they do not have a clear path in mind.
Yet it takes a clear path to begin the quest for a more fulfilling career, better health or less exhausting days.
“The shift in attitude that I needed, and that previously seemed monumental, ultimately came easily. The work I did with Valerie literally turned my thinking about myself and my possibilities around and allowed me to refocus and regain my confidence. Her guidance is thoughtful, articulate and powerfully intuitive.”
