How Randee is Your Ideal Coach

Helping others has always been my life goal and mission. Whether it was as a trauma nurse working with patients dealing with life and death decisions, sexual assault, or other stressful situations…I saw myself as the one who would be there for you, the one you could trust for procedures or count on for information.
As a healthcare executive, I was the leader you want to work for, who is fair, gets you, teaches you, and helps you to be a better version of yourself. Now as a coach, I am the one who can listen, challenge you, intuitively share what is going on, and then help you build your action plan for achieving what you want in your professional and personal life.
  • If you visited a foreign land would you hire a guide who has read about the country or one who has actually lived there? The same applies to coaching. There are many coaches but very few who have executive experience. There are also few coaches who have been invited by Forbes to be a part of their national Coaches Council.
  • I could not continue in the corporate world where mindfulness, compassion and caring were absent, and few women rose to top levels. The focus was totally on results. When results are not in, then we offshore employees, lay them off, or look for other cost cutting mechanisms.
 

Today the term for this is mindful leadership. When I moved into leadership coaching it was clear to me this needed to be taught with conventional management skills almost unlearned.

Most go into the corporate sector based on what they believe will align with their personal purpose and financial needs. Then they become disenchanted to find out how different the internal organization really is, and/or how indifferent, ego centered their boss is and then are off looking for their next employment opportunity. To change this, leaders today need to focus on how you can keep your personal brand intact while still moving towards mindfulness. So, for me, the opportunity to impact the turnover epidemic and instead move towards retention of individuals is something that would change corporate service levels, financial value, loyalty, and happiness by their employees. At the same time, there is such gratification in helping others, especially women, to find their passion, purpose, and executive brand that enables them to rise and still be true to themselves.
