A Certified Leadership & Relationship Coach With Over 35 Years Of Experience
Dr. Wanda’s COACHING EXPERTISE
In the Workplace:
The workplace is where most people spend 8 to 10 hours each day. Too often, it contains broken systems and outdated human capital structures that fail to support morale, productivity, employee engagement, leading to increased absenteeism. Physical and psychological safety are at risk. We partner with organizations to create a pathway to a Flourishing Workplace where everyone can thrive, feel a sense of belonging, and contribute. Investing in organizational wellness can bring benefits in four key areas: profit, productivity, people, and legal compliance. It creates a win-win situation for both employers and employees. Dr. Wanda is offering a 30-minute consultation to discuss your specific circumstances.
Leadership Development:
The leadership of an organization influences the overall atmosphere. An Arbinger Survey found that leadership development has the greatest impact on enhancing an organization’s culture. When a leader leads effectively, others will follow. A partial list of key leadership development areas we offer includes communication, emotional intelligence, conflict resolution, change management, mentoring and coaching, feedback, empathy, and innovation. Dr. Wanda is a comprehensive professional who will design a plan, implement it, and follow up on the leader’s progress, whether individually or for the organization. Dr. Wanda is offering a 30-minute consultation to discuss themes, topics, and training formats, including hours of training, half-day sessions, full-day sessions, or 1–2-hour sessions spread over weeks.
Relationships:
Aristotle said, ‘The most important relationship we all can have is the one you have with yourself, and the most important journey you can take is one of self-discovery.’ A healthy relationship with oneself involves cultivating self-awareness, self-acceptance, self-compassion, and self-care. A positive relationship with oneself, developed through self-discovery, can improve your ability to form and maintain healthy relationships with others, both professionally and personally. Dr. Wanda is offering a 30-minute consultation to discuss individual or group sessions designed to enhance self-discovery.
Signature Program:
‘Strutting Your Personal Power’ (women only). The program is designed for women who have faced life circumstances (i.e., abuse, trauma, grief) and found themselves operating below their full potential for flourishing (e.g., lacking self-confidence, healthy boundaries, a voice, social skills, empathy). Please contact Dr. Wanda to discuss the next available date.
What is a Coach ?
A general life coach is a professional who partners with a client to help achieve personal and professional goals. A coach guides people in identifying their strengths, overcoming obstacles, and taking focused actions to create accountability for growth. Dr. Wanda is a certified professional leadership and relationship coach who has successfully worked with hundreds of individuals and groups to improve their lives both professionally and personally.
Leadership Development: A leadership development coach is a professional, experienced leader who can help individuals achieve their professional goals. Dr. Wanda is a former Senior Executive with an organization that directs over 12,000 employees, of which she was directly responsible for 1,300. She is well-versed in developing professional relationships and building effective teams to achieve a common mission or goal. Under her leadership as a Human Capital Strategist, the organization’s employee engagement advanced for over 6,000 individuals.
Relationships: A relationship coach is a professional who can assist in achieving professional or personal goals, either individually or in collaboration with other individuals and/or teams. Dr. Wanda believes in the power of self-discovery. Self-discovery uncovers strengths and weaknesses. Strengths are areas where a person excels, and weaknesses are areas where a person is more likely to falter. Through the discovery of a person’s strengths, a plan can be designed to help them utilize those strengths effectively.
"Coaching is unlocking people’s potential to maximize their own performance. It is helping them to learn rather than teaching them."
