Executive Coaching in NYC  

Increase Your Leaders’ Impact

One of your leaders or high-potentials has incredible skill and even more incredible potential. 

If only they would…

Coaching is a “thinking partnership” that focuses on helping clients gain clarity about their unique values, strengths and authentic brand of leadership. In the service of increasing the client’s leadership capacity, we will inevitably examine obstacles, limiting beliefs, blind spots and triggers. 

Our New York based executive coaching program begins with the end in mind. Using a comprehensive stakeholder interview process, clients get a clear picture of their strengths, their impact within the organization and what their most crucial areas for development are. 

Using stakeholder feedback, we work with each client to create a customized action plan to leverage core strengths and focus on specific areas for improvement.

Below are a few of the reasons why organizations have hired us for executive coaching:

• To work with a woman COO to improve her executive presence and assert her views more confidently when speaking to the executive board.

• To help a financial services professional, who was masterful at managing up, be seen as more approachable and collaborative when working with peers and junior staff.

• To help a C-suite executive at an established tech company motivate and share a cohesive vision throughout a multi-layered organization.

• Work with a scientist to communicate his highly technical vision to his diverse board.

Sessions will typically concentrate on future options and choices of the client and will include assessing and developing core leadership competencies, core professional skill development and strategies for managing change.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT OUR NYC EXECUTIVE COACHING PROGRAM

Our team has seen tremendous improvement in communication and role clarity while working together with Starla over the past twelve months. She has helped us navigate transitions during a time of rapid growth and organizational change. Her executive coaching has helped me to think more strategically and to become a more confident, effective and proactive manager. I think we all have a better perspective of who we are and how we relate to one another as a result of our sessions. 

Ruth Dekker, COO BlinkNow

As a senior female executive in a leadership role at a global corporation, I often felt like my work and opinions weren't taken into consideration with the same gravitas as my male counterparts. I was at a point in my career where I knew I needed help in key areas 1) How do I get myself heard, respected and recognized for the work I do 2) How do I communicate more effectively with a team of leaders who don't look or sound like me figuratively and literally.

Starla guided me through various enlightening and impactful exercises that helped me discover what drove and excited me at work and how to really tap into those strengths. I can't recommend Starla enough- if you're looking for a professional coach who can guide you in a non-judgmental, supportive and impactful way in both your professional and personal lives, Starla is your answer.

SVP Media, Advertising Agency

Before I started working with Starla I was burned out and frustrated with what seemed like an endless barrage of requests for my time. I was always tired, trying to tackle too much, and never focused on my own needs or development plan. Starla helped me get more in-tune with myself and my needs, which has finally allowed me to focus on what’s most essential and make sure I am always able to give 100% of myself.

Since working with Starla, my planning is also more purposeful, I have a clearer picture of my own objectives over the next 2 years, and I am more effectively able to lead my team with the “why behind the how.” Starla’s coaching has even helped me to become a more adaptive leader when it comes to leading and working across different personality types. Tough conversations that would have previously triggered me, I have now learned to more fully embrace.

Today I no longer feel burned out, and am now better able to lead with clarity, direction and the full, balanced, and most engaged version of me.

Mike LaBoda, Director, AlixPartners 

Working with Starla as a management coach was a transformative experience. She comes from a place of thoughtful curiosity and was quick to establish a safe space and strong rapport at the outset of our engagement. Starla has a special way of eliciting beneficial insights and realizations from her clients by guiding conversations with pointed questions absent of any judgment.

After working with Starla, I felt fully equipped to build and develop healthy, effective relationships, be a truly empathetic manager, and, in turn, achieve great team successes.

Jared Markson, Director at Arabella Advisors

Behind every successful leader is a dynamic, patient and effective executive coach who can help guide them from chaos to clarity and bring out the best qualities of those leaders. For me, Starla Sireno is all of these and more.

She helped coach and guide me through one of the most tumultuous times in my career and helped me pivot from chaos into great opportunities. I absolutely recommend Starla for individuals who are looking for a professional coach to guide them along their executive leadership path and for companies looking to bring their teams together to work more effectively and efficiently together.

Jocelyn L., Director, Financial Services

Starla is a master motivator. She’s brilliant at helping you articulate a goal, then helping you find the strength you need to reach it. Her sessions are part career coaching, part self-discovery, and all helpful. Working with Starla helps tame that voice in your head telling you who you are, so you can start working on who you want to be. Call her. You won’t regret it.

KB, Executive Creative Director, Global Advertising Agency

In the role of my executive coach, Starla Sireno quickly moved from consultant to trusted mentor, advisor and friend. I have always found her perspectives thoughtful and insightful, and her communication style balanced with candor and professionalism. She has been an objective sounding board to me during some of my most challenging personal and career decisions.  Starla’s coaching has given valuable insight and helped me gain perspective in terms of managing relationships, prioritizing, strategic thinking, and building my confidence.
