JOSH is a seasoned executive coach, process facilitator, curriculum designer and instructor. He brings 20+ years in corporate skill building and earlier careers in the theater and in writing & journalism to increase effectiveness and sustainability in leaders, groups and organizations. Keys to Josh’s approach are a focus on clarity of priorities, impact of communication and the building of thriving, resilient relationships at all levels of an organization. A coaching relationship with Josh offers the opportunity for a “view from the balcony,” a chance for a detached look at both the interpersonal dynamics at play in a group, and an objective examination of the role the coachee may be playing in helping that group work at its best – or not. You can count on Josh to bring helpful insights to these explorations and to articulate them in ways that are
direct, digestible and can immediately be put to work in the real world. Upping your game as a communicator – one-to-one, one-to-many, in-person, virtual or hybrid – is often a central focus. Josh uses exercises in the coaching sessions and creates back-at-work assignments between those sessions that are
designed to achieve those results.
Josh’s coaching helps to:
• Empower leaders to communicate more vividly and memorably without sacrificing authenticity
• Build leaders’ skills in using stories and other rhetorical means to make an impact
• Foster greater self-awareness of strengths, deficits and values, and the skill to speak of these personal qualities in ways that build loyalty and commitment
• Increase leaders’ interpersonal versatility to build effective, rewarding relationships, even where there’s conflict, even with people where rapport doesn’t come easily
• Develop leadership and personal practices that promote sustainability for the “long game” of a career
