Executive Coaching for Your Team or Organization

Building stronger companies — one leader at a time, one team at a time.

Solid leadership is critical to your company’s bottom-line success, impacting employee engagement, productivity and retention.

Executive coaching can be the catalyst for profound change. When choosing an executive coach you want someone with the right credentials and industry experience — and someone your company’s leaders can trust.

Over the past 20+ years, we’ve successfully coached C-level executives, senior managers and high potentials (aspirational leaders) from Fortune 500 companies to small businesses. We welcome the opportunity to partner with you, your team and your organization to achieve your greatest goals.

Pushing Beyond Conventional Standards

For more than 20 years, Jody Michael Associates has been pushing beyond the conventional standards of executive coaching to incorporate technology, human behavior, neuroscience and psychology.

The result: Deeper, systemic change that can profoundly transform a leader’s perspective, performance and bottom-line results. We’ve coached executives, high potentials and leadership teams from Fortune 100 companies to small businesses.

We can help you or your leaders:

Improve leadership skills and performance to increase impact and influence
Successfully transition to a new company or role
Enhance the execution capacity and interactions of a team
Increase self-awareness and emotional intelligence
Foster a greater commitment to accountability in order to help achieve results more quickly and communicate more effectively
Address derailing behavior that stands in the way of advancement

Exceptional, impactful, superb communicator are the phrases that come to mind when I think of Jody. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Jody for the last year as an executive coach. She brings credibility, a great track record and expertise in coaching top leaders in the fast-moving tech sector. Her process, clarity and the workshops will undoubtedly have a strong impact on anyone who works with Jody. Her prior trading leadership background allows her to relate to fast-paced, high-stakes, action-based tech sector.
