You have the opportunity to work with Leadership Connection founding principal, Kathleen Schafer or one of her experienced team of coaches on an individual basis to address your leadership needs and goals. Sessions can take place in person, over the phone or online.

Kathleen helped me to understand how I could turn my passions into a career.  In the past, my career was only about my interest in politics. It never occurred to me that I could blend my passion for youth and athletics with my political interests to create a career, I truly love.

There are some people that just “get it.” Kathleen gets it, she knows she gets it, and she chooses to help other people figure themselves out.  I love that about her, and respect her knowledge in human development.

The coaching process:

The Leadership Connection team matches you with the best coach for your leadership needs. In your first session, you will outline the goals you want to achieve and discuss a realistic time frame to reach them. On average, a person will meet with his or her coach four-to-five times in as many months with “assignments” to be completed between each session. While each client’s experience is unique, most initial goals can be met within this time frame.   At the completion of this phase, clients can determine if they wish to continue on a monthly basis or as needed to address new leadership opportunities or challenges in their lives.

Length of Coaching: Based on your personal needs and generally four to five months
Length of each session: 1 to 1.5 Hours
Format: Face-to-Face, Phone or Online
