OUR COACHING STYLE

SOLUTION FOCUSED: A strengths-based approach emphasizing what you want to achieve, rather than what's holding you back.

ACTION ORIENTED: Designed to be practical and actionable, focusing on helping you implement changes and attain your goals.

GOAL DRIVEN: From the start we align on a concise set of outcomes to which we can both make firm commitments.

OUR APPROACH

We use the first session(s) to get a clear picture of a client's strengths, their impact within the organization and what their most crucial areas for development are. Using this foundation, we then develop a customized action plan to leverage core strengths and focus on specific areas for improvement.

The process of change starts with inner work the client does in their lives to notice their own behavior and then reflect on it. As we progress through the program, the client shifts into doing observable outer work, actually putting some of the experiments of the new behavior and approach in practice.

OUR GOAL

Our goal is to improve our clients’ impact and effectiveness, not just intentions. We conduct assessments, including getting 360 feedback from peers, direct reports and leaders to help clients take stock of their impact. We then use our work together to consider alternative approaches and commit to new behaviors.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

I’ve had the privilege of working with Igor as a coach and mentor for 5+ years. We were initially matched as part of a career development program at Google, and from the moment we met, I felt like I had hit the coaching jackpot. Through our sessions, Igor listened attentively and provided practical guidance I could apply as I steered high-stakes, transformative projects. His insights have profoundly impacted my growth as a leader and my ability to drive positive results for my teams.
Though we come from different backgrounds, Igor makes space for me as a Black woman, takes into account the nuances of navigating the tech space in my shoes, and provides advice beyond the survival or assimilation tactics often offered in the coaching space. I have not made a significant career decision in the past five years without first speaking to Igor. His guidance always helps me expand my perspective and consider ideas outside my sphere of knowledge. I wholeheartedly recommend Igor to anyone looking to enhance their career development or grow as a leader.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

Igor has been my management coach and mentor for the last 6+ months. I really appreciate Igor's incredible experience and wisdom. It seems like he's encountered every leadership situation. Even though he might already know the answer to my question, he allows me to figure it out by asking poignant open ended questions. He's teaching me how to fish and not simply giving me the answers. I've grown by leaps and bounds thanks to Igor!
