Our Approach

Through our experience as C-suite executives, business owners and coaches, we understand that decision-making is at the core of success for individuals, leaders and their organizations. However, making good decisions can be a challenge, especially in today’s rapidly changing and complex world. That’s why we have developed a unique approach to coaching that is centered on critical thinking.

Our coaching process is designed to help individuals, teams, and organizations to gain clarity on the core, underlying issues and shift perspectives to make meaningful progress towards their aspirations and goals. We recognize that our inherent biases and limited experiences can cloud our judgment, leading us to solve symptoms rather than addressing the true underlying cause of our challenges.

These biases sometimes include an unwillingness to give up control and trust the wisdom and experience of the people we surround ourselves with to make good decisions. Another bias is an underling fear of failure rather than acceptance that growth and experience come as a result of “failing” our way to success and changing our belief that Incremental progress trumps delayed perfection.

That’s why we take a critical thinking approach to empower our clients to move past their blind spots and consider seeing the world as it may be rather than biased by their own experiences and emotions.

Changing behaviors and habits are difficult for even the most disciplined individuals. We provide you with an app to track your progress on taking the action steps you have committed which creates a higher level of accountability between coaching sessions and further empowers you to achieve desired results.

We invite you to have a coaching session with us to experience the power of our approach firsthand. Let us show you how effective coaching can help you and your team make better decisions and achieve your desired results.

Empowering People to Reach Their Full Potential

“Daron’s questions allowed me to bring my professional “why” into focus, which in turn permitted me space to feel comfortable in crucial conversations with my reports and colleagues. The bottom line: hidden interpersonal opportunities became visible, and I was able to refine the vision of my legal and compliance team and live into the leader I aspire to be.”
