Coaching for Leadership
Who do you turn to when there are tough choices to make, a difficult conversation to have, or complicated reporting lines to navigate? Who helps you sort through the concerns that keep you up at night? As a top leader in your organization, you may have few trusted allies with whom to explore complex issues and even less time to think about them.
A Wildfire Strategies coach provides a confidential relationship to help leaders develop and improve communications with their teams, enhance relationships and role clarity, improve decision-making and delegation, and leverage their strengths to enhance both performance and job satisfaction.
The Coach Is In™
The Coach Is In™ is a targeted 25-minute, confidential coaching session that helps you get unstuck, dive into a work or life issue, gain clarity, and identify actionable next steps.
Developed for incubators, start-ups, and tenants in co-working spaces, it can help workers who are encountering emergent issues, like pitching to a challenging client. While working with the coach, the participant will feel a sense of support, connection, and trust. And they will have a more clear path forward, bringing them relief and confidence in their future work.
Workshops
Wildfire Workshops are designed to educate cohorts of leaders or team members on key topics that are essential to their collective success. These 2-3 hour workshops (in-person and remote) are designed for up to 25 participants with one facilitator. Larger groups can be accommodated with additional facilitators.
Organization Diagnostics
As the leader of a high-stakes team or organization, you know what it’s like to work under constantly changing, stressful conditions. You and your teams know when you’re not working well together or performing at your peak, but you don’t have time to assess why or how to make it better. Wildfire Strategies Organizational Diagnostics can provide you with an in-depth understanding of the impediments to your best teamwork and performance, as well as the strengths that will help you overcome them.
Strategic Direction
There are so many forces reshaping the industries we work with: regulation, technology, mergers, disintermediation, and others. Leadership changes create opportunities for fresh starts, but they can also kick up fears about losing familiar faces and ways of working. It’s easy to get off track during these times of change, or paralyzed into inaction that leaves you behind. Wildfire Strategies can help realign and redefine your strategy to take advantage of the changing landscape, ensuring that your team and organization are working optimally to fulfill your mission.
The Challenge
You want your teams to run like a smooth, fast-moving train: productive and effective. Your customers and key stakeholders depend on it. And, if your team isn’t collaborating effectively together, the cost is great. Perhaps you’ve gone through organizational changes, and added or lost team members. People are tentative, not communicating well and unable to contribute to their full potential. You know the team can do better.
The Work
Wildfire brings high-stakes teams together. We help create safety and connection.
When communication and trust increase, you can capitalize on individual strengths. Team intelligence rises. Collaboration and energy are freed up. You are more likely to achieve your goals.
Wildfire’s proprietary team transformation process can be rolled out in a variety of ways.

We provide individual and small-group coaching that integrates with the Team Transformation™ work, and supports the success of the team.
