Flourish. Thrive. Prosper.

Ninety-eight percent of happiness and effectiveness depends on relationship intelligence. Leaders’ relationship mastery accelerates success. We’ll show you how.

Do you have work relationships that sting?

Relationships. We all have them. We know they matter.

And yet…sometimes…they’re just…difficult. Complicated. Frustrating. And even more so when they’re related to our livelihoods.

Do you wish your business colleagues weren’t defensive? Your direct reports were more collaborative? You could be more authentic in your leadership? You felt less guilty about how much time you spend with your family? You weren’t caught in these excruciating cycles over and over?

You can do all of this, and more. All of your relationships (and therefore your business) can…flourish, thrive, prosper…and it’s not as hard as you think.

These relationships begin with you. In fact, ALL your relationships begin with you.

That’s why Two Wise Women executive coaching focuses first on your relationship with yourself, and how you can change your own approach to make your relationships more collaborative and connected for you, your employees, and for everyone else you interact with, too.

We’ve helped thousands of leaders thrive by increasing their self-awareness while eliminating aspects that block effectiveness. Our clients are able to improve their way of seeing and solve seemingly intractable challenges. From there, stress lessens, impact grows, business flourishes.

Here are a few client examples:

Arjun reported, “My CEO never, ever listened to anything I had to say UNTIL I saw that I hadn’t really ever listened to him. What a turnaround for us. He is really smart and has good things for me to hear. I am amazed at my increased energy and pleasure at work.

Simone, who was habitually irritated with needy team members, tells this story about applying her executive coaching experience outside her company, and possibly saving a life: “I listened attentively to a stammering old man next to me. He was having a stroke in the olive oil section of Trader Joe’s. I got him help. My heart swells at this opportunity for being human.”

“I used to focus on the negative, on bitching, telling stories that made others look stupid. I can now lovingly sit with other leaders even when they are in a warring place. I am happier, grateful and humble not looking to see if people give me what I seek but to see who they really are.”

As Jane, a dynamic organizational leader, was transforming impatience at work to a softened heart, she had this experience applying her leadership coaching in her home life. “I sneaked a peak at my husband’s face yesterday and noticed the lines and wrinkles—but not as signs of aging—rather as symbols of the worries, cares, stresses he’s endured through his life. I felt my own humanity, as a woman who is vulnerable enough to love so deeply.”

100% of customers are people. 100% of employees are people. If you don’t understand people, you don’t understand business.

The coaching sessions helped me through a very difficult time AND they will be there for me the next time life brings challenges. The most important thing I learned was to be mindful that I alone am in control of my happiness. It isn’t always easy to find that place...but when I do, the struggle to get there is more than worth it.

Allen Abbot President, Market View LLC

Personally, this course has made me stronger, more aware of how I show up in the world. Professionally: WOW! I am empowered to be the best me.

Michael Williams Unreasonable Futurist, MOSAIC International, LLC

I wanted to be the best and get the best out of people. By having me focus on helping things go right, to always bringing me back to CARING, LISTENING, and SEEING people as people, I uncovered so much. I’m not only a better listener, but a better person. Thank you.

Teju Ravilochan Co-founder and CEO, Unreasonable Institute

Receiving executive coaching has been a grounding force for me to be able to come back to myself on a regular basis. Our talks have taught me self-responsibility and self- awareness as a springboard for continued personal and professional development.

Susan Swearingen Business Development Consultant

My thanks to Sharon and Nancy for their guidance throughout the course. Both are excellent coaches and teachers…..They did a really good job explaining concepts and helping us connect the dots. They both picked up on nuances of limiting thoughts and behaviors. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Pam Wyess Executive and Leadership Development Coach

Your course and coaching helped me and will continue to help me live the deep and lasting change that I want to offer my clients and all my relationships.

C.A. World Class Change Agent

After not having a relationship with my son for 45 years (I always let him know how much more I knew than him), I just spent 3 days with my son that were delightful for both of us. Thank you, I owe this shift to your coaching.
