Leadership Development

Leaders at all levels need to constantly be honing their skills and deepening their character.

You might be thinking, “But isn’t it enough that I’m fully engaged in my work — solving problems, managing change, and meeting the stream of ongoing challenges that confront me?”

Actually… no. It’s not enough.

Like it or not, your people rely on you to be a mentor, a role model and a coach. That means you regularly need to "sharpen your saw," as Stephen Covey would say.

Our leadership programs focus on improving communication, strengthening self-awareness, and enabling you to better understand and interact with the people in your life. They emphasize people development as the foundation of organizational success, and are tailored to meet the needs of leaders at every stage in their careers.

Here is a sample of topics:

  • Leader as Coach Mastery Program

  • Seeing the Big Picture: Accelerated Learning & Results

  • Shaping Workplace Culture: Strategies for Public Sector Leaders

  • Leading Successfully in Permanent White Water

  • Conversations & Confrontations: How to Communicate When it Really Matters

  • Personal Influence Toward Positive Change

  • Bringing Out the Best in Your People

Grounded in decades of real-world leadership experience and backed by research in adult development, social psychology, and neuroscience, my programs are thoughtfully designed and never off-the-shelf. I partner with you to clarify what matters most—then co-create learning experiences that are practical, engaging, and tailored to your context. Every engagement balances meaningful outcomes with respect for the process, delivered with transparency, respect, and just the right amount of humor. “Results with integrity” isn’t just a tagline—it’s how I work.

And all offerings can be tailored to an online delivery.

I had the privilege of working with Deborah Reidy over the course of 5 years, and I can confidently say that her guidance has been transformative for both my personal and professional development. From the moment we began working together, Deborah demonstrated an exceptional ability to listen, ask insightful questions, and offer tailored strategies that helped me achieve greater clarity and focus.

Beyond her expertise in leadership coaching, what truly sets Deborah apart is her genuine care for her clients’ growth and her ability to create actionable solutions that lead to meaningful change. Thanks to Deborah, I have gained invaluable skills in communication, leadership, self-awareness, time management, and our collaborative training efforts continue to drive success within the team.

Ms. Reidy is a consummate professional. She is intelligent, knowledgeable and reliable. She is easy to work with, respectful of others and always well-prepared. I have seen few individuals with such a complete set of the requisite skills for facilitation, training and coaching.
