New Leaf Touchstone can create bracelets and pocket stones for a specific event or cause using colors that are significant to the purpose.

For example, at a recent Fundraising and Awareness walk for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, the walkers wore a unique colored sticker to signify their relationship to the person in whose memory they were walking. For example, a parent who had lost a child to suicide wore a blue sticker, a sibling wore purple, etc. New Leaf Touchstone designed bracelets with spacers of the corresponding colors so that survivors could wear a bracelet with that color all year round. The bracelet brings them hope for a positive future and loving memories of the one they’ve lost.

Turn Over a New Leaf Executive Coaching

Who: Individuals who want to increase their effectiveness in their current role at work, move their career to the next level and/or be their most authentic self at work

Where:  Location of in person sessions may be the client’s office or my office and on the phone.  Other communication will be via email.

Why:  Because it’s lonely at the top and getting their can be tough too.  Because no matter how successful one is, there’s always room for improvement and it’s helpful to have the opportunity to, in Steven Covey’s words, ’sharpen the saw.’  Because it’s often hard to find people with whom you can have really honest, straight forward conversations at work and in your existing circle.  Because we all need a sounding board to sort out and make the big decisions (and the small ones, too).

How: Big picture planning and goal setting, assessments, commitment to yourself and the coaching process, candid discussions, exercises, assignments, stepping out of your comfort zone, taking risks, trying on new skills and new ways of being, deep internal exploration.
