Holistic Leadership Coaching With My Coach

 

A coach approach to achieving your leadership, health, and wellness goals

 
 

  • I'm Dania Rivas, your coach, and I partner with individuals to help them achieve meaningful transformations in their leadership, health, and wellness. My coaching approach is built on proven, evidence-based methodologies such as cognitive behavioral therapy, positive psychology, and motivational interviewing.

    From our initial connection, we'll establish a supportive partnership to identify your core values, understand your deepest motivations—your 'why'—and explore any roadblocks that may be preventing you from reaching your goals.

  • Our work together will primarily focus on coaching. While both involve personal growth, therapy entails a longer-term relationship centered on help with a mental health condition, emotional healing, or addressing past traumas. Coaching, on the other hand, tends to be more goal-oriented with a defined timeframe.

    During our sessions, we may touch upon aspects of your past, but our main focus will be on your present circumstances and developing actionable steps to move towards your future aspirations.

    It's worth noting that coaching and therapy can sometimes be beneficial in conjunction. For instance, someone might work with a therapist to address underlying mental well-being while also partnering with a coach to achieve specific objectives.

  • You've likely experienced working with consultants in the past and may have wondered why lasting change didn't materialize. Often, this is because consulting focuses on providing solutions and telling you what to do, which can inadvertently create a dependency on external expertise. True transformation requires internal shifts.

    Coaching, in contrast, is designed to empower you to take ownership of your growth. Through in-depth sessions, we'll work together to explore the underlying causes of behaviors that might be hindering your authentic leadership.

    This process of self-discovery and targeted support allows for meaningful and sustainable behavioral change, enabling your leadership potential to emerge in a powerful and authentic way.

  • Dania excels at helping clients integrate their past, present, and future perspectives by creating a supportive environment. Within this space, you can explore the origins of your behaviors and gain awareness of any limiting beliefs or inner critics. This journey helps you understand how past experiences influence your present actions, empowering you to release unhelpful beliefs and embrace a more empowering vision of your current self and future potential.

    It's important to remember that you don't need to be fixed. You already hold deep wisdom and the answers you seek within yourself. Partnering with Dania can illuminate your inherent strengths and insights, allowing you to confidently share them with the world.

  • Change is inevitable! It’s only a matter of when. Since you’re here, I’m guessing you’re ready. You don’t have to go at it alone. I partner with you to support your leadership and health journey and empower you to step into your fierce courage.

 
 
 
 
 

A Holistic Approach To Leadership Development

This means that in every session, we'll make sure to touch upon each key area. This way, we can give proper time and attention to all aspects of your life, allowing for a well-rounded and holistic approach to achieving your leadership goals and overall development.

 
 

Leadership Growth

Leadership growth is linked to inclusion. In today's diverse landscape, effective leaders must value varied perspectives and create an environment where all voices are heard. This enhances team dynamics, innovation, and decision-making, strengthening organizational culture. By prioritizing inclusion in leadership development, professionals can boost emotional intelligence, build trust, and empower others. Embrace inclusive leadership to foster collaboration and drive sustainable growth.

Health & Lifestyle

Enhancing leadership performance starts with a holistic approach to health. By prioritizing physical well-being, mental clarity, and emotional resilience, leaders gain the energy needed to inspire others. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and mindfulness boost cognitive function, stress management, and relationships. This commitment not only empowers leaders to face challenges effectively but also encourages a culture of health and productivity, driving organizational success. Embrace a lifestyle that supports your leadership journey for improved performance for yourself and your team.

Behavioral Health

Behavioral health is essential for effective leadership, influencing personal well-being and team dynamics. Leaders who focus on mental and emotional health foster open communication and vulnerability, enhancing resilience, decision-making, and collaboration. By addressing their own behavioral health, leaders can better support their teams, reduce stress, and boost performance. Prioritizing behavioral health is vital for sustainable leadership, enabling professionals to navigate challenges with clarity and compassion while achieving holistic success.

Reasons People Work With A Coach…

Seeking Collaboration

Many find it beneficial to partner with someone to achieve their goals rather than working in isolation. For those who thrive in collaboration, a coach can be an invaluable partner, serving as a trusted sounding board and confidant. This partnership can help you effectively bring your projects and brilliant ideas to life.

Feeling Stuck Sucks!

It can be really tough when you feel stuck in your job, career, or just life in general – it can be quite scary and make you feel helpless. A coach can be a great resource to help you get out of that rut and start taking action. Plus, they can provide that extra support to help you stay on track and keep moving forward.

Problems With Colleagues

Or worse, your boss. Conflict is an inevitable part of any job, no matter how ideal it may seem. Whether it's a disagreement with a colleague or a challenging situation with your boss, having a coach can provide invaluable support in navigating these moments.

With a coach by your side, you can ensure you're taking the necessary steps to not only resolve conflicts but also maintain your overall job satisfaction.

Feeling Inspired

Are you thinking about a colleague or leader whose style you admire? It's inspiring to feel motivated to enhance your own leadership skills, especially when you can do it authentically. Coaching focuses on recognizing and embracing your unique qualities, guiding you to discover your own Inner Leader.

You Lost Your Job

Losing a job can be a truly difficult experience, often bringing about feelings of grief, being overwhelmed, and even hopelessness. During such times, it's incredibly important to prioritize your mental well-being.

Please remember that you don't have to navigate these emotions alone. Professional coaches are experienced in providing a supportive space for the wide range of feelings that can arise after a job loss. Working with a coach can be a valuable step in processing what has happened, accepting your current situation, and ultimately, helping you regain your footing and start looking forward to your next career opportunity.

Like The Seasons, Change Is Inevitable

It's a natural part of life that as we evolve, our circumstances might no longer fully align with who we are becoming. If you're finding that your current job or environment doesn't quite fit the person you are today, a coach can offer valuable guidance in understanding what kind of changes would be more fulfilling.

You’re Having Health Problems

Maybe you’ve noticed that your well-being might be affecting your performance. Remember, you're not just a professional; you're a wonderful and complex person, and it can be challenging to maintain good health in today's world.

Working with a Health Coach can be a valuable step towards achieving your best health, allowing you to feel and perform at your peak.

You Got The Job!

Congratulations on your new position! As you transition into this exciting new chapter, you might be considering the best way to navigate and thrive in your leadership role.

“My Coach helped me grow.”

What clients are saying…

“I had the pleasure of working with Dania for about 4 months. In our first session, she outlined her approach to coaching and how it differs from therapy or other coaching approaches. Throughout our time together, she stayed consistent and aligned, circling back to core values and helping me define what mine are. I appreciate how she never pushed me into anything or told me what to do but instead gave me the tools I needed to define my values, which I will utilize when making important decisions. I would highly recommend Dania as an empathetic, professional, thoughtful career coach.”
— T. Becker
“My experience with Dania has been transformational. Under her guidance, I’ve discovered the power of reclaiming my story and recognizing the common thread that ties together my past experiences, helping me to uncover my core values that have consistently driven me forward. This newfound self-awareness has grounded me in my authentic self, providing a strong foundation for personal growth.

Dania also showed me how to incorporate leadership into my work conversations effectively. She taught me to take the initiative in structuring discussions, inquire about others’ perspectives, and ensure clarity to prevent misunderstandings. This approach has significantly improved communication at work, allowing me to build stronger professional relationships.

A defining moment of our coaching sessions was when Dania encouraged me to define my own vision of leadership. For me, leadership now means empowering others to collaborate effectively in pursuit of a shared goal. This clear understanding of my leadership philosophy has not only improved my leadership style but has also positively impacted my team dynamics in my work environments and projects. In sum, Dania has been instrumental in my personal and professional growth, and I am immensely grateful for her guidance and support.”
