COACHING. LEADERSHIP. PLANNING. TRANSFORMING.
Welcome to Lancelot Consulting; I help business leaders with growth strategies so that they can achieve career goals and business success.
Lancelot Consulting specializes in laser-focused coaching for individuals and teams tied to Neuroscience principles as a method to better facilitate the heart and mind of leadership growth.
Lancelot Consulting is focused on 4 dimensions of leadership behaviors which have an intrinsic impact on culture, the leader, and the community to which the leader belongs.
A coaching journey which yields growth begins with 2 simple questions:
Are you ready to build a 3-step strategic plan to reach your goal?
What is the one change you want to achieve?
Dimensions of Leadership Behaviors - key focus areas
Altruistic leadership
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 leadership
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 leadership
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 leadership
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.
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.
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.
