  Middle Way Institute

  Sept 2023 - Apr 2024

  Executive Coach and HR Consultant

  For today’s leaders, expectations are high, criticism is public, feedback is whispered, and handrails are absent. Well-meaning executives are labeled as abusive; others, as asleep at the wheel. Many exhausted leaders see their known approaches as lose-lose. Yet between abuse and abandon lies a Middle Way marked by virtues like curiosity over judgment or detachment, and humility over abasement or arrogance.The Middle Way seeks to create cultures that teams respect by imparting individuals with the specifics they lack.Our group workshops and individual coaching leave leaders with practical tools and a deep understanding with which to wholeheartedly implement them.
