Executive Coach

Dr Bodner works to balance being both the “safe place” where the client can be vulnerable and the “challenger” addressing tough truths and pushing the client to do the hard, and sometimes seemingly impossible, work of leadership.

Types of Coaching Engagements:

Challenged

Leaders can become so focused on driving toward results that they lose sight of the softer side of leadership. This can lead to interpersonal challenges, severely limiting the effectiveness of the leader.

Dr. Bodner supports executives who are in a difficult situation or who have a challenge that is limiting their effectiveness as a leader.

She has an affinity for, and is particularly skilled at, helping challenged executives grow into their fullest capability.

Growth

Transitioning to higher-level roles requires a leader to operate differently, and often to alter the skills and approaches which have led to their success thus far.

Dr Bodner works with executives transitioning to higher level roles, providing insight and guidance on adapting their leadership brand and operating more strategically to help them be effective at higher levels.

Assimilation

When executives step into a new organization, the pressure and expectations are high.

Dr. Bodner walks alongside executives as they move into new organizations and/or roles, providing insight and guidance as they determine the path to success, not just for themselves, but for their new organization.

How Featherstone Approaches Coaching:

Bespoke

Dr. Bodner only works with 6 executive coaching clients at a given time, allowing her to be fully focused on their situation and to provide highly customized tools and resources to impact and address each client’s unique needs.

She has a real world approach to all coaching engagements where she offers practical guidance and leverages her consulting skills, often focusing with the client on specific area of responsibility or issue. This takes the coaching sessions out of a vacuum and allows for deeper learning and quicker application.

Her high-touch approach allows her, for some engagements, to provide hands-on consulting and/or facilitation when needed.
