As a personal/executive coach, teacher, writer and facilitator, Leslie Hershberger is committed to guiding you and/or your organization through transition and transformation. She uses powerful tools such as the Enneagram personality, systems theory, Emotional Intelligence and mindfulness to assist others in developing the following personal/professional skills:

• Emotional Intelligence (EQ) - the greatest determiner of success beyond cognitive intelligence and work experience, is emotional intelligence-and it can be taught. The most critical EQ competency is self-awareness. Together, we identify your strengths and blind spots. You may learn your personality style through the Enneagram, a profound tool for self-awareness that provides powerful insights into why you act, think and feel the way you do.
  
• Accurate self-assessment - the capacity to recognize strengths, blind spots and life patterns so you have the ability to grow and learn from life experience through openness to other perspectives, ongoing learning and constructive feedback. We spend time observing patterns that show up in your work and life. We then develop practical exercises to help you learn to make significant, lasting change.
  
• Emotional awareness - the capacity to recognize how positive and difficult emotions affect performance, relationships and personal happiness. We observe your reactions to conflict and stress. You learn simple tools to coach yourself "on the spot" when triggered.
  
• An inner rudder - the ability to learn how to take time to slow your pace and calm your mind in order to increase your awareness of your deepest values and your guiding vision. You will learn simple breathing exercises and mindfulness practices so you can discern when it is your voice speaking and when it is the pressures of the culture or past experiences.
  
• Humor - the ability to laugh in order to provide perspective and relief from stress. We learn how to take a stressful situation and see the humor and absurdity in it. Laughter is a powerful stress reducer.
  
• Confidence - the courage to act upon your vision and values not only through personal and professional relationships, but also through ethical service in our communities. You learn to identify goals between sessions to keep you on track so you can stay the course. I help you with accountability and we explore the ways you stop yourself from acting on your goals and vision.

If you would like to grow in any of these areas, contact me for a complimentary 30 minute session to determine if coaching can help you or your organization.
