Executive Development &
Leadership Coaching
True leadership exists when we integrate the thinking in our brain with the knowing in our heart
Our Purpose
Passion-Driven Executive and Leadership Coaching and Mentoring.
To ignite the leader inside you and your entire organization. To remind you how to reconnect your drive with your passion, and to ultimately give you the tools to listen to the vision you have deep inside for the company you lead, the customers and shareholders that depend on you and the life you continue to build.
We work with executives to translate their vision into actionable strategies and effective communication for all their stakeholders.
We work with C-Suite executives and Senior Managers at Fortune 500 Companies to help them re-discover the passion they held when they began their career.
We work with corporations to define best practices in team building and create empowering long-lasting culture for their division and organization.
We work with Executives looking to grow their leadership potential to find their full authentic leadership style and voice.
From public speaking support to actionable goal setting our team is there to support you to achieve all the success you desire.
There is no such thing as work/life balance,
there is only work/life integration.
We don’t lose part of ourselves when we enter our work day. If we honor the fact that our work and our non-work are simply different parts of the same person then we can benefit from all aspects of who we are as we flow through different aspects of our day. The outcome of this integration allows us to mindfully engage with our full life, always paying attention to our own tether connecting us to why we are here. Ultimately this means we experience more fun, more love, more enjoyment – more often.
Our Approach
We are results oriented. We set goals with you and we achieve them. But our process is different than most other leadership development programs. We engage our clients by first understanding what their issues and concerns are. We dive deep into conversation under a strict confidentiality agreement around your goals, team goals and company goals. We listen to the data points you perceive are the most important. Then we do what most leadership development teams do not do. We set all that information aside, knowing we will return to it. And we focus on what you know to be true. What led you to bring you to this very point in time. What you love, what you’re passionate about, and what you may be afraid of. We create a very safe place for you to have the difficult conversations. We dive into conversations about your largest aspirations and dreams for yourself, your teams, and your organization. We give you tools to identify all aspects of these elements. And then, we re-open the discussion around the data points and the strategy of where to go and how to get there.
ReasonV works with a team of highly qualified professionals from around the world. We engage non-exclusive independent contractors that are intimately familiar with and trained in our process and values. If you are interested in joining our team, reach out and let us know about your coaching, mentoring and business background.
Individuals
Many leadership development and coaching programs look at the task at hand, and then organize their programs around accomplishing that task. That is not our approach. We look at what drives you as an individual, and we help you find your core passion. Connecting your core passion to what you do will result in your ability to discover how to accomplish not only the task at hand, but all future tasks as well. Below are a list of leadership Modules. Which ones stand out where you’d want to begin your deep dive with us?
-
Team of Consciousness™Understanding your Team of Consciousness™ – Who in your life will take a stand for your authentic voice? Who will get you “out of bed” when you’re feeling down? Who will jump aboard and help maintain your momentum when you’re on a roll? How do you stay vulnerable and open to meeting these people in your life? How do you acknowledge them, and how do you activate them? When you are in an elevator, are you looking down and texting…or open to meeting and recognizing a new member of your Team of Consciousness?
-
Authentic Personal Mission StatementDeveloping your Authentic Personal Mission Statement – What is your driving force? Why do you do what you do? Are you on the right track, tangential to the right track, or completely off-track when it comes to your values and goals? Such fundamental questions are rarely simple to answer, but once your mission is discovered, life decisions and directions take on more meaning, simplicity, and clarity.
-
Stories that Drive YouBreaking down the Stories that Drive You – We all have stories, habits, and preconceptions that make up who we are and how we behave, for better or worse. The key here is identifying them, understanding them, and being able to change them…a daunting task when most of us don’t even know how to recognize them, and a hugely rewarding process once we do.
-
Perspective Shifting™Perspective Shifting™ – Having a hard time understanding why your co-worker is loving his or her job but you’re not? Can’t figure out why your partner doesn’t understand you, or why you won’t forgive yourself for something? Do you react to things too quickly or wish you could do something that you’re just not able to accomplish? This module gives you tools to learn how to shift perspective, whenever you desire. A Perspective Shift allows you to approach whatever it is you want to approach through a different lens, often freeing up those things that are holding you back.
-
Dancing With Work™Dancing With Work™ – This module is for you if you have been counting the days until you leave your job, but you feel scared and unsure about how to actually take the leap. It’s also for you if you have left your job already, and are unemployed and looking for the next thing. Ultimately we will work together so you can find ways that you can Dance With Work, whether it be with your current job or a new one.
-
Holding Your Own Space™Holding Your Own Space™ – In the frenetic world we live in, we often forget to just take care of ourselves. Ultimately you can’t give to anyone else, or anything else, if you don’t first give to yourself. In this module, we work together to find those day-to-day things you can choose to remind yourself to look inward first and foremost.
