Click here to order Coaching Leaders Out-of-the-Box™, a new portable training tool aimed at the broad spectrum of coaches, mentors, teachers and professionals aspiring to coach leaders around the world.
Our approach is interactive and addresses the individual, team, organization, and community. Our belief is that leadership happen at all levels, among all people, our models “bridges the gap” of differences between people, as we realize how much we more commonality than differences. Too often what we reject in others behavior may only be a stylistic behavior that coaching can correct.
Our coaches leverage our clients strengths and developmental challenges. During this process, we use a number of personality instruments to assist our client in identifying their strengths. While areas for development always surface for individuals, our approach has them use their strengths to address what needs development.
Our work in community development focuses on schools and non-profits.
Pam Shipp is founder and president, as well as an executive coach and keynote for special events, conferences and retreats.

We live in critical times when leaders are needed. These developments are moving in many different directions. There is a difference between developing leaders and developing leadership. Leadership is the engaging collective sense of direction that is emerging in our communities and organizations. Leadership is born from a commonly held sense of the emerging future. This sense of the future invites us to new levels of authenticity and courage. Writers like Kevin Cashman, Otto Scharmer and Parker Palmer point to a place within each of us as the starting point.
They invite us to become PRESENT to the authentic voice within. There is no replacement for silence and reflection in achieving that authenticity. A leader who does not reflect is prone to repeat his or her mistakes over and over. Yet the leader who opens the space for reflection in his/her busy life can find new richness of knowledge and wisdom. Dialogue following reflection can take us to higher levels of performance and engagement.
