Measurable Individual and Collective Leadership Growth and Business Performance

ROI (Return on Investment) for coaching is often higher than on capital investments.  

And all too often, I hear of accounts where coaching value creation is not clear.  

What can you do before coaching begins to be even more certain of a clear ROI?

Investing in coaching has been the highest payback in my career. And many I have been privileged to accompany express similar reflections. And at time

Get the numbers first to avoid wasting your valuable time

Hiring a coach without developing a clear plan is like playing tennis without keeping score.

Thank you Susanne for shaing this example. From the 100's of Stakeholder Centered Coaches who I have been privileged to support, your stuctured Swiss execution is exemplary.  

Let's connect soon to explore enabling even more Swiss SME's to Scale Up.  The world deserves more Swiss Leadership.

“The difference between you and other coaches is that you have a plan.”

I laughed when a client told me this… then I realized how often I hear the same line.

He explained: “Many coaches care deeply and know many methods, but they don’t have a clear roadmap to take a client from A to B. They struggle to deliver measurable results.”

So what did I do differently with this client?

- I used a highly structured methodology: SCC – Stakeholder Centered Coaching, developed by Marshall Goldsmith.
It’s one of the few coaching approaches that guarantees measurable results.

- You can’t hide. You can’t escape the process.

- It exposes your weaknesses and blind spots without mercy.

- It leads and pushes you toward a great transformation.

- It’s tough—nothing for the faint-hearted. It’s for the bold ones who are ready to look into their mirror without retouching.

SCC is especially built for high performers who rise fast… and then hit a ceiling.

Honored to know Julia and experience her writing, podcasting and wonderful smile!

New Year, new me!  Or more accurately, new branding for my podcast 😊 

We'll be launching season 4 of People Are Everything on Jan 13th with a stellar guest list, and I literally can't wait!    

In the meantime, Happy New Year, everyone.  Thank you for all your support in 2025 for my little poddie, and in general.  I really can't believe how much love and support I receive in this wild and precious life.  

People really are EVERYTHING - in case I haven't mentioned it before 😉

Are you ready to step into your most important work? 

This model, created by Robert (Bob) J. Anderson provides the strongest insights I have found. 

Switzerland's favorite, with 50,000 of the global 684,000 leaders benefitting from this innovation originating in CH.

Are you ready to step into your most important work? 

If the time is right, DM me for a 15 minute conversation.

Another rich conversation, so rich  in reflection stimulation.

Thanks Julia and Doug! 

Highly recommended.

With everything that is currently going on in the world, we all need a bit of Doug Skoke in our lives.  

Doug is the founder of LFG Now, an executive search firm, and the creator of the Blue Collar Buddha -  a brand name so good that it feels like it's been around for generations.

To say this podcast impacted me is an understatement.  Doug has so much soul and tells his stories with such humour, even in the darkest of times.  And boy, has he had some.  But as he says, "you learn through what you go through", and I believe this is the source of his depth and understanding of the human condition.  

We cover grief, adoption, neurodiversity and much, much more, and I promise you, there will be moments that stop you in your tracks.  Such as when he lost his outdoorsy and free-spirited brother unexpectedly, and how this particular grief reshaped his understanding of life.  He shares a letter from his mother that became a lifelong compass, and how parenting adopted sons with profound challenges showed him the lessons of unconditional love.

As always, we discuss the five people who shaped Doug, and the list is a mix of great people - oh, and one even greater dog!  

Here's a short extract to give you a flavour of our conversation and the instant chemistry between us.  

Whatever is happening today, I strongly advise you to take a time-out and listen to the full episode to get Doug's warmth and wisdom. 

As ever, here is a helpful link, or you can just find us on YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.

Next week, we have a very special guest, Julia Bird.  I pretty much made this podcast so she would one day be on it, and next week I get to share someone whom I have admired and loved for over 30 years.  

In the meantime, enjoy Doug.  It will do you good!

I connect people with their passions and empower organizations to transform lives. As a dynamic advancement executive and now the founder of Philanthropy Innovators, I’ve led talented teams that have personally raised more than $1B—always with a focus on reimagining the ways they can have the greatest impact and with a commitment to sharing my knowledge through mentorship. 

While I didn’t grow up wanting to be a fundraiser, I was quickly hooked by the art of building relationships and philanthropy’s power to drive solutions for many of our global challenges. I have built powerful philanthropic partnerships and helped some of the world’s wealthiest donors see the impact of their generosity. Among these are:

•	Eliminating family income as a predictor of college success
•	Integrating whole-person care, including all aspects of lifestyle, into medicine
•	Exploring complex global issues through interdisciplinary initiatives like the environment and cancer
•	Using the polio virus to treat brain tumors

Even after serving in multiple roles across different types of organizations, many of the best lessons I ever learned were from my first mentor, my Dad. He taught me the value of patience, practice, and perseverance; he encouraged me to reach further than I ever dreamed possible and to set my goals high and achieve them. It was from him that I learned the power of building networks of diverse perspectives that enrich our decision-making and our lives.

Today, I'm sharing many of these lessons with organizations across the country to help transform their approaches to fundraising and advancement, providing a continuum of services and solutions that optimize organizations' processes, people, and ability to strategically plan in an ever-changing philanthropic world.
