LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT COACHING
There’s no manual that comes with the promotion into leadership.
You’re doing your best, figuring things out as you go, balancing competing priorities, trying to motivate your team while keeping up with expectations from above. Some days it clicks. Other days it feels like you’re one tough conversation away from losing momentum.
Leading people is complex work. It requires self-awareness, strategy, and the ability to inspire action through clarity and trust. Yet most leaders are handed the title without the training. That’s where leadership coaching comes in.
This program is designed to help you bridge the gap between knowing what needs to be done and leading others to do it confidently and consistently. We’ll uncover your natural strengths, identify the habits holding you back, and create a personalized roadmap to help you grow into the kind of leader people want to follow: decisive, empathetic, and effective.
Coaching + Strategy
My Coaching Philosophy: Part Coach, Part Strategist
As your coach, my goal is to equip you with the encouragement, knowledge, tools, and practical strategies needed to lead with confidence and impact. My approach is grounded in integrity, honesty, and trust. I will meet you where you are, help you clarify where you want to go, and guide you in building the skills to get there. Beyond the traditional coaching relationship, I also serve as your strategist, advisor, and thought partner, helping you connect insight to action.

Your Coaching Journey
Initial Strategy Session
Our first session will be 90 minutes where I’ll learn more about you, your work, and your goals. We will work together to establish between 1-3 specific goals you will work on over the course of the 3-month engagement. You will receive a one page action plan that will serve as the guide for our coaching sessions.
Month 1 - Implementation
In month one we will meet two times for 60 minutes each via Zoom. In our session we will address challenges, strategies, best practices, self-care, and ensure you are on track to accomplish the goals set in your initial strategy session. We will also pause to celebrate the progress you are making!
Month - 2 Plan Check-in
In month two we will meet twice for 60 minutes each via Zoom and do a mid-program check in to assess progress towards goals and address any challenges or setbacks. We will make adjustments to the plan as needed and identify pathways for continuing to move towards accomplishing your goals.
Month #3 - Celebrations & Next Steps
Month three we will meet two times for 60 minutes each via Zoom. In our session we will discuss outcomes from the past three months and develop a go forward plan to provide you with directions on how to keep the momentum you gained from the program going. We will also pause to celebrate the progress you have made!
Summer’s direct, yet compassionate style of coaching has led me to great discoveries about my potential as a leader. She has a unique ability to guide the self-discovery process through thoughtful questioning and full-body listening, which in my experience, sets her apart from many of her counterparts. If you desire a coach who is supportive, encouraging, and professionally equipped, Summer is the right one for you!
Working with Summer over these past months has been transformational for both my career strategy and personal leadership development. When I started coaching, I was struggling with the transition from being seen as a detailed-orientated technical expert to being recognized as a strategic business leader – I had just completed my MBA but wasn’t sure how to leverage it effectively within my organization. Summer didn’t just listen to my challenges or help me articulate my value – she provided concrete frameworks and actionable strategies that have fundamentally changed how I approach my career progression.
After coaching with Summer, my confidence has been lifted. I am now proactively contributing strategic ideas rather than waiting to be invited into discussions. My communication has also evolved – I now use technical concepts and business terms that resonate with leadership.
Results were immediate and remarkable in terms of my job title being elevated and they expanded my responsibilities significantly. With some conversations with my hierarchy, I now have a sustainable advancement framework within my organization. The coaching fundamentally changed my trajectory from feeling stuck in being recognized as a technical employee to having a clear strategy for shifting to a business director-level advancement.
There has been a perfect balance between strategic thinking and practical application. Every session ended with concrete, implementable actions that could lead to continuous progress. Summer’s cultural organizational intelligence makes her particularly effective for professionals navigating complex organizational dynamics.
I’d recommend Summer to any professional making strategic career transitions, especially those navigating complex cultures or seeking leadership visibility.
In each coaching session, Summer provided clear, actionable next steps. The sessions helped me to realize how important it is to put my mental health first. I am better able to handle communication with new and existing folks in my life, knowing my worth is not tied to my company, I’m able to speak up the way I want to, show up how I want to and take up space when I need to. She also helped me realize that I am who I think I am and I should celebrate and acknowledge that more often.
Having Summer for a coach helped me challenge myself in different ways of looking at obstacles in the workplace as well as light the fire for new ideas.
