Executive Coaching and Leadership Development
A New Way of Seeing. A New Way of Doing.
Sometimes, this is exactly what’s needed.
But what if it’s not?

Real growth in leadership requires growth not only in one’s competence or skill, but also in one’s level of awareness both of self and the external environment. Leaders need to understand whether their strengths are positively impacting their organizations or whether a core strength being over utilized might do more harm than good. (It’s like a strong muscle that’s fatigued and no longer able to function.)
At Vista Leadership, we partner with you to dig deep and examine how the way you see the world influences the way you lead – and the results you’re currently getting. We explore what’s getting in your way. We work together to clarify what you want to achieve. Finally, we help you re-discover the competencies and mindsets you need to get there.
Services
Executive and Leadership Coaching
Individual coaching designed to address issues of critical importance to you. Whether you are a new leader finding your footing, an experienced leader taking on greater challenges, or a highly seasoned executive considering your next steps, we partner with you to understand your goals and determine a course of action to achieve those goals.
Leadership Development Programs
Bob Anderson, author of Mastering Leadership, says “The organization cannot perform at a level higher than the collective effectiveness of its leadership.” If you are truly interested in improving your organization’s performance, take a hard look at the collective effectiveness of your leaders. We take a cohort based approach to leadership development focusing on improving individual leadership effectiveness to drive improvement in the team’s effectiveness.
Mentor Coaching for Leadership Circle Practitioners
Whether you are a highly seasoned LCP practitioner or a newly minted one, Vista offers a variety of services to help you ascend the LCP learning curve. We offer individual and small group mentor coaching as well as workshops to support practitioners in leveraging the LCP for greater impact. All of our coaches have deep grounding in adult development theory and somatic coaching and a wealth of hands-on, practical experience with the Leadership Circle Profile.
Coaching Skills for Leaders
Highly effective leaders don’t need to be coaches, but they do need to have coaching skills. Why? Because coaching others is the number one way to make your leadership scalable. No matter how talented you are, if your leadership doesn’t scale, you will eventually exhaust yourself or be met with diminishing returns on the effort you are expending. We work with leaders one on one and in group settings to grow the mindsets and skillsets leaders need to powerfully coach others.
Assessments
For every engagement, we partner with the client to determine what type of feedback or assessment would best help them achieve their desired results. We recommend the following approaches:
The Leadership Circle Profile:
A uniquely powerful 360 degree assessment designed to build self-awareness and accelerate the pace at which leaders develop their consciousness and improve their effectiveness.
Stakeholder Interviews:
Highly customized interview, analysis, and reporting process to gather stakeholder feedback.
Growth Edge Interview:
A 75 minute interview and a 45 minute reporting session in which the interviewer, using adult development theory as a guide, assesses the client’s stage of development and offers practices (Habits of Mind) for moving to the next stage.
Testimonials
Our Philosophy
We purposely chose the name Vista Leadership because we believe “it’s all about the view.” Whether it’s taking a step back to get the bigger picture; stepping aside to get a different perspective; or choosing to explore someone else’s point of view, development work is all about what we see. What patterns do we see in our own behavior or the world around us? What perspective do others hold about this issue? Can we actually teach ourselves not only to see the world around us but also to examine the way in which we see the world? To actually get perspective on our perspective?
For us, great coaching is about helping people see things differently so they might do things differently. In order to do this, we take an inside out approach adhering to the belief that to truly develop one’s leadership effectiveness, leaders must not only develop their competence or skill but also grow their level of consciousness.
We believe that leadership development has historically been overly focused on teaching people skills and competencies. While this is certainly important, building new skills and competencies without evolving consciousness typically leads to short term change. True transformation is not about knowledge acquisition or information gathering. It’s about evolving the way in which we see the world.
