Do you need some support for the changes you want to make?
Those changes might be any of these:
- How you act as a manager or leader.
- Product results you want to see across the organization.
- Necessary changes for business agility.
If you know the outcomes you want, I can support your changes as a coach. (If you don't know the outcomes you want, please consider my Trusted Advisor offering.)
Agile Coaching
I coach leaders, including project-based and product-based leaders. We might focus on these kinds of changes:
- Your behaviors as a servant leader. (See the Modern Management Made Easy books.)
- How to use influence to create small and large organizational changes.
- Focused coaching with senior leaders and HR to address the necessary changes for the reward system. Those changes will help you reinforce business agility to achieve your desired results.
We'll create an engagement that:
- Discusses your current situation
- How to take advantage of the transparency agile approaches provide
- How to remove obstacles for your team(s).
Please contact me or Book a Meeting With Me so we can discuss your specific needs.
Executive coaching and management mentoring
Would you like to talk to someone who's been in your shoes before?
I can structure a coaching engagement to answer your questions, and help you see how to be most effective. I've coached senior leaders, middle managers, program managers, project managers, and senior technical staff.
We work together to support your growth and capabilities.
You might prefer my Trusted Advisor offering if you don't have specific outcomes in mind, but you want someone you can trust to bounce ideas off.
One-on-One or Group Coaching
I offer each of my coaching services one-on-one or for a group of managers from the same organization. I offer packages for coaching:
- A 30- or 60-minute off-the-cuff call. You don't need to book more or be a regular caller.
- One-month package: A series of weekly calls with homework and reading. We often create a backlog and work off that, with the inevitable changes. You have unlimited email access to me.
- Two-month series of calls. We create a backlog and work off that, with the inevitable changes. Since this is a package, if we think we should talk more, we do. You have unlimited email access to me.
Contact me or Book a Meeting With Me to discuss your needs.
Create a Custom Coaching Package
I can offer a shorter or longer coaching package for individuals or teams. Let's talk.
I encourage you to either contact me or Book a Meeting With Me so we can discuss your needs.
Rates FAQ
Some clients ask about rates. Here's the FAQ:
- I don't charge by the hour. That creates a dynamic where you want to avoid more time with me and I want more time with you. You don't benefit from what I can offer you because we're focused on money. I'm not a contractor. I'm a consultant, acting as a coach. That means you're not paying me for my time—you're paying me for the results I can help you achieve.
- I will offer you a project-based rate based on the value I expect you to receive. That will include our meetings and anything else I think we need to do. (Do we need more meetings to achieve the outcomes? Do I want you to read a book to discuss something specific? Maybe I need to design a simulation for you and/or your team?)
You'll start to see my coaching value right away. You'll probably recoup the entire cost of my coaching within our coaching time. Assuming you can make the necessary changes. But that's part of what I offer.
Coaching Testimonials
Here are some of the testimonials I've received from my coaching:
“I thoroughly enjoyed our chat. Thanks so much for your insightful advice on Smart Projex.” — Susanne S. Davenport, Owner of Smart Projex, Inc.
“Regardless of our official title on a team, we can all be leaders. Johanna's coaching has helped me develop my leadership skills. She asks questions that help me identify problems and think of experiments to address them. And, she gives me links to other helpful resources. Thanks to Johanna, I have engaged my team in some new experiments, using new metrics to gauge progress. Higher-ups who were previously dismissive of my ideas are now more respectful and receptive. I'm so excited to pursue this new path that Johanna's coaching has opened for me.” — Lisa Crispin, tester and author
“I highly recommend Johanna’s coaching for whatever situation you are encountering. Her kind wisdom, advice, and actionable direction will ensure not only your survival—but your thriving success.” — Sarah Baca, Agile Coach
