Steve March’s Summary

I am deeply and personally committed to the success, fulfillment, and well-being of my coaching clients. I specialize in coaching leaders that are stepping into new and/or expanded roles and leaders who are burned out or on the way to becoming burned out.

I bring a deep and rich background of sixteen years working in the field of software development as a software engineer, quality manager, senior process consultant, and manager of organizational development. I understand the demands placed on leaders today from the inside out. And I've seen how leaders suffer to meet these demands while sacrificing themselves, their family-life, and their well-being.

I offer clients a different way of leading based on the premise that the Self is a leader’s primary source of power. Rather than sacrificing your Self, cultivate your Self.

My clients report many of the following outcomes:

• Deeper centered leadership presence, particularly in the midst of challenges and conflict
• Ability to generate empowering moods and to stay emotionally balanced in difficult situations
• Improved ability to live a healthy and balanced lifestyle
• Greater competence in generating and maintaining fulfilling and nourishing relationships in life and at work
• Deeper capacity to listen and respond to others with respect, empathy, and compassion
• Ability to build powerful networks of support for stepping into new and/or expanded leadership roles
• Greater skill in building trust and credibility through effectively coordinating action with others and fulfilling commitments
• Greater strength in stopping self-criticism and self-sabotage
• Greater satisfaction and fulfillment across all domains of life
• Deeper commitment to being a lifelong learner and more skillfulness in learning

A partial list of clients includes ACCBank (Ireland), Charles Schwab, Genentech, Hewlett-Packard, NASA, Novo Nordisk, and The San Francisco Foundation.
