Root Yourself in Purpose

~ RISE with Cedar Wise ~

Cedar Wise Coaching partners with those committed to accelerating social change for the common good.

Professional Coaching For Organizational Leaders

You are drawn to your work because you believe you can make a difference. But resource constraints often mean you find yourself pulled in a hundred directions, overwhelmed by multiple demands or feeling stuck in a dynamic that drains you.

I know that experience all too well having directed nonprofits with national and international reach for 25+ years. I didn’t have a professional coach to help me respond more creatively, effectively and courageously. Looking back I wish I had. The good news is you can.

Together we can build your capacity to address the inevitable challenges that come with your position so you can reach your full leadership potential.

RISE is the Cedar Wise Coaching process we’ll engage

when we work together

  • R = Root

    Pause and remind yourself of who you are and the story you want to tell. The more rooted you are in your purpose, the stronger you can grow and the greater impact you can have on what you care most about.

  • I = Inquire

    Be curious about what delights you. What stresses you? What feels life-affirming and what depletes you? How can you bring yourself into alignment with your own values and vision?

  • S = Shift

    Once you open to new ways of seeing, you can choose more generative and gratifying actions. What perspectives might you shift today to animate what you do tomorrow?

  • E = Embody

    Embody the insights you’ve gained to accelerate the changes you want to manifest. See yourself accomplishing your goals while nurturing yourself and bringing out the best in others.

TESTIMONIAL

As an ED of a small non-profit, it was so beneficial to talk to Elise about leadership issues. She knew nothing about my organization, but after probing questions, she helped shape the discussion and allowed me to have "lightbulb" moments.

A Partner in Your Success

I want to learn what brings you to coaching, what pressing questions you want to explore and what your aspirations are. If it feels like a fit, then we can discuss in more detail about how to partner together in this journey of self-discovery and generative exploration. You’re worth it, and the world needs you at your best!
