RISE 1:1 Coaching

A sustained coaching partnership for quiet leaders ready to be seen, trusted, and recognized — without becoming someone they’re not


The Environment You’re Leading In

Leadership today asks more of you than ever.

There is constant change, shifting priorities, restructurings, and pressure to move fast — often favoring those who speak first and loudest. In this environment, visibility can feel tied to survival.

As a quiet, thoughtful leader, you may find yourself holding a lot:

  • Supporting your team through uncertainty
  • Making careful, values-driven decisions
  • Carrying responsibility without always being recognized for it

You’re doing meaningful work — but it doesn’t always translate into influence, opportunity, or acknowledgment.

And over time, that can wear on you.

Not because you lack confidence or capability —
but because the system doesn’t always know how to see leaders like you.


The Pattern You May Be Living Inside

You’ve likely heard versions of:

  • “You’re doing great — just speak up more.”
  • “You should be more visible.”
  • “You need stronger executive presence.”

Yet those suggestions rarely come with guidance that actually fits how you lead.

Instead, you may notice:

  • Your ideas land, but only after someone else repeats them
  • You over-prepare for meetings just to ensure you’re heard
  • You protect your team fiercely, sometimes at the cost of your own visibility
  • You feel tension between staying true to yourself and playing the leadership game

This isn’t a skill gap.

It’s a mismatch between who you are and how leadership is often defined.


What Becomes Possible

RISE is built on a different assumption:

You don’t need to become louder, harder, or more performative to lead well.

You do need space to:

  • Understand what’s truly holding you back
  • Learn how your natural strengths already create influence
  • Practice showing up with calm authority in moments that matter
  • Redefine success on your own terms — not someone else’s

Imagine:

  • Speaking when it matters — and being listened to
  • Leading meetings with presence, not pressure
  • Advocating for your team and yourself without forcing it
  • Feeling steady, grounded, and clear in your leadership identity

This is the work of RISE.


🌿 The RISE Framework

RISE 1:1 is grounded in a four-part framework that unfolds over time — allowing insight, practice, and integration.

1. Recognize what’s not working

We begin by naming what’s keeping you unseen, stuck, or doubting yourself.

Together, we uncover:

  • The invisible patterns shaping how you show up
  • Where your energy is being drained
  • What you’ve been carrying quietly on your own

Clarity is the first form of relief.


2. Illuminate your strengths

Next, we surface what makes you naturally effective.

You’ll learn to recognize:

  • Your signature ways of thinking, relating, and leading
  • How your quiet strengths already create trust and stability
  • Why your presence matters — even when it’s subtle

Your strengths stop being abstract ideas and become usable tools.


3. Strengthen your impact

Insight alone isn’t enough.

Here, we practice:

  • Using your voice with intention
  • Holding presence in meetings and high-stakes conversations
  • Navigating visibility without overexposing or shrinking

You build confidence through repetition — not performance.


4. Elevate your leadership

Finally, we zoom out.

We recode your definition of success so it’s:

  • Sustainable
  • Values-aligned
  • Grounded in who you are — not who you’re expected to be

This is where leadership stops feeling like effort and starts feeling like alignment.


Who This Is For

RISE 1:1 is for quiet, high-achieving leaders who want to grow without abandoning themselves.

You may be:

  • A new manager navigating leadership for the first time
  • A people leader whose impact isn’t fully recognized
  • A manager-of-managers stepping into greater visibility
  • A thoughtful leader tired of feeling overlooked in louder rooms

This is especially for you if you’ve wondered:

  • “How do I grow without becoming someone I’m not?”
  • “Why does visibility feel so hard — even when I’m doing good work?”
  • “How can I lead with confidence and calm?”
  • “Is there a version of leadership that actually fits me?”

What This Is (and Isn’t)

RISE is:

  • A long-term coaching partnership
  • Personalized to your leadership context
  • Designed for integration, not quick fixes

RISE is not:

  • A one-off insight session
  • Performance coaching that pushes you to be louder
  • A rigid program with a one-size-fits-all path

If you’re looking for a single-session reset, Amplifying Your Strengths may be a better fit.
RISE is for those ready to work with their leadership over time.


Investment

RISE 1:1 investment starts at $2,500, depending on the length of the partnership (3 or 6 months) and level of support.

Because this work is deeply personal and relational, I begin with a conversation to ensure mutual fit.

FAQ

How is RISE different from the Amplifying Your Strengths session?
Amplifying Your Strengths is a powerful, self-contained 50-minute session focused on one scenario.
RISE is a longer-term partnership where we work across multiple situations, patterns, and stages of growth.

Do I need to be a “quiet” person for this to work?
No label is required. If you resonate with this approach and want to lead with depth, steadiness, and authenticity, RISE may be a fit.

What if I’m not sure how long I want to commit?
That’s okay. We’ll discuss what level of support makes sense during our conversation.

Is this therapy or consulting?
No. RISE is coaching — future-focused, strengths-based, and grounded in your leadership goals.

What if I’m already successful — can this still help?
Yes. Many clients come to RISE not because they’re failing, but because they’re outgrowing old definitions of success.

How do I know if this is right for me?
If this page feels like it’s naming things you’ve struggled to articulate — that’s often a good signal. A conversation will help us decide together.
