Is your communication style unappreciated or misunderstood?

Communication is a leader’s most important tool. When it comes to communicating, style matters.

A Safe Discovery Process

Using a variety of methods and tools, assessment helps the coach understand your strengths, opportunities for growth, and how others perceive you. It’s an important phase of discovery and trust building.

Can you self-regulate under stress?

Even the most talented person is marginalized when stress is not regulated. All leaders experience times of high stress. Great leaders learn how to effectively manage stressful moments.

Goal Setting & Accountability

Whether your career is in focus or needs exploration, developing clear and attainable goals is key to achieving results. Staying connected and tracking progress with a coach can be an inspirational and nonthreatening way to create change.

How are you doing at managing your own brand?

The most difficult person you will ever lead is yourself. Taking responsibility for your own career means you have to understand and care about how people see you and experience your behavior.

Mature as a Leader

The goal of coaching is ultimately focused on developing habits of self-awareness and self-regulation (emotional intelligence). Over time, these habits create well-being and resilience to help you navigate the complexities of being a professional.

Jeff is a great listener and has provided me with sound advice and encouragement in the numerous roles I have held at SMU. He understands what it takes to be an effective leader having been one himself and he knows how to get the best out of others.

    Meeting and working with Jeff Strese has been a profound lesson in the value of human capital. His focus on talent development and organizational design is a graduate course in how to turn a business from one dependent on an individual to one driven by a team. Jeff is not just an effective consultant, but a brilliant teacher that would help any organization become an organization where motivated people can flourish.

    Jeff analyzes an organization's ability to execute on its mission, both where it may be inadequate or where there is simply an opportunity to do better or at a larger scale and then provides leaders a map for improved business outcomes. He excels at executive coaching and at guiding teams through the kind of change management that leads to improved--and sometimes transformational--results.
