Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I hire a coach?
Hiring a coach is an investment in clarity, momentum, and your potential. Whether you're navigating a leadership transition, feeling stuck in your role, or seeking to lead with greater influence, coaching helps you uncover the answers already inside you—with the structure, tools, and accountability to act on them. A coach brings perspective, patterns, and real-world insight that you might not see on your own.
What types of professionals do you work with?
I work with high-achieving professionals at all levels who are ready to evolve—rising leaders, seasoned executives, and entrepreneurs looking to expand their influence, lead with intention, and elevate their careers or teams. Many of my clients are navigating growth, transition, or complexity, and want a trusted partner to help them lead with purpose. I also work with students who are navigating their first career move and may feel stuck.
What makes Day One different?
At Day One, coaching isn’t about quick fixes or generic advice. It’s grounded in lived executive experience and shaped by proven frameworks—like the Birkman Method and influence storytelling. I bring the strategy of a senior operator, the empathy of a mentor, and the structure of a coach. Clients walk away with more than insight—they walk away with direction, confidence, and tangible next steps.
How do you structure your coaching engagements?
Coaching engagements are typically structured in 3-, 6-, or 12-month packages depending on your goals. Each engagement includes:
1:1 coaching sessions (biweekly or monthly)
Optional assessments (like Birkman or storytelling diagnostic)
Strategic support between sessions
Customized resources to accelerate your growth
We start with a strategy session to clarify your goals, challenges, and desired outcomes.
What kind of outcomes can I expect?
Every client journey is unique, but here are some common results:
Greater executive presence and storytelling confidence
More effective decision-making and communication
Clarity in career direction or team leadership
Tools to influence up, across, and down
Stronger alignment between what you do and how you lead
Do you work with teams or just individuals?
Both! In addition to individual coaching, I lead team workshops focused on:
Communicating more effectively using the Birkman Method
Aligning strategy and team execution
Leading through change and decision-making
Building influence across functions
These sessions are highly interactive, insight-driven, and tailored to your team’s dynamics.
What is the first step to working with you?
Let’s talk. Book a discovery call with me to discuss where you are and where you want to go. From there, we’ll determine if coaching is the right next move and what kind of engagement fits best. Contact
What’s the story behind the name Day One?
