Executive Coaching
For senior leaders stepping into more visibility, complexity, or scope This is not just coaching. It’s partnership. Tracy becomes a strategic advisor and trusted thought partner in your corner as you take on your next chapter. Engagements start with a 360 to align stakeholders and surface the insights that matter. Whether you're stepping into your first C-suite role, expanding your remit, or leading through a defining transition, this work helps you lead with clarity, credibility, and conviction. Common focus areas include executive presence, influence, stakeholder dynamics, strategic decision-making, imposter syndrome, and navigating the internal shifts that come with external growth.

Executive Team Development
For leadership teams that need clarity, trust, and honest alignment Sometimes the biggest blocker to execution isn’t strategy. It’s team dynamics. If your exec team is navigating misalignment, tension, or slow decisions, we create the space to have the conversations that aren’t happening so you can move forward with clarity, focus, and renewed trust. Through custom offsites and targeted facilitation, we help leadership teams align on priorities, clarify roles, and operate as a true unit, not just a group of strong individuals.

Step into the room like you belong there because you do This immersive experience helps high-performing leaders show up with clarity, presence, and impact in high-stakes moments. Through guided rehearsal, voice and body coaching, and real-scenario practice, you'll expand your range and build embodied confidence.
