LEARNING, LEADERSHIP, AND DEVELOPMENT TRANSFORMATION SERVICES
Lancelot Consulting provides freelance consulting services that teach individuals how to learn new skills through instruction and coaching.
My name is Connie, I am the founder of Lancelot and a former IBM learning and development specialist. My goal is to offer 25 years of experience in the L&D space to help individuals achieve executive presence, maintain a growth mindset, and reach their highest potential as individuals.
My experience spans decades of experiential and simulation learning to help executives, sales & technical professionals, and new managers adopt skills needed to transform their line of business. I am a certified International Coaching Federation (ICF) Coach and integrate coaching solutions to partner with individuals on personal accountability, organic growth, and working through barriers.
I adopt Neuroscience principles as a method to better facilitate individual growth and apply 4 dimensions of behaviors which impact the culture, the leader, and the community to which the individual belongs.
Dimensions of Behaviors - understanding the individual
Altruistic behaviors
Leaders build people capability and empower those they lead. Altruistic leader behaviors are demonstrated by continuously extending help, considering the business, operating means of the organization, and efficacy of the culture. Opportunities deepen these behaviors include advocating equity, fairness, engagement, and a high-performing culture.
Empathetic behaviors
Leaders who possess effective self-regulation and self-awareness have important assets that allow them to continue to evolve as a successful leader. These values impact a positive and productive culture. Individual and team coaching helps to elevate these values by assisting clients to create continuous check-in opportunities - for themselves, for their teams, and for their communities.
Generative behaviors
Leaders face pressure to adapt to change and can face opposing goals from clients, teams, and shareholders. Leaders are also faced with commercial demands in terms of industry standards, competition, and driving profit. Coaching can help identify behavioral drivers which contribute to performance and help evolve these behaviors with guidance.
Decisive behaviors
Leaders need clarity and confidence in fact-based decision making. Leaders also need to understand sources of data, impact and long-term connections to decisions they make. Coaching can help develop skills to evoke a deliberate decision making capability using science, relying on methods and clarity, and applying structure as a means to inform.

Approach
Neuroscience Principles
The foundational element to help clients better understand unique brain wiring and receptors for goal-setting based on challenges. These principles are a holistic and creative approach to building skills in stress management, resiliency, and self-awareness by comprehending brain's response to perceived threats and anxiety.
Facilitating Growth
During all coaching sessions, I reinforce client autonomy and self-regulation through key discussion points. Coaching is a growth journey which serves as an ongoing method to celebrate individual contribution, demonstrate mutual accountability, and target clear goals tied to business, team, organizational, and individual priorities. I advocate for the use of assessments to identify and facilitate the closure of leadership behavior gaps.
Action-oriented Outcomes
The laser-focused coaching methodology I use is built on the ICF (International Coaching Federation) set of competencies. Using a coach and client questioning technique, I co-create a partnership early in the discussion to establish an agreed outcome. This same approach is used whether individual- or team-based.
