Rowen Coaching Method

What’s Missing from the Status Quo?

Executive coaching has been shown to accelerate a leader’s growth with an average return on investment of 7 times the cost (PricewaterhouseCoopers). Coaching is an excellent tool to foster self-discovery and skill-building in a safe trusting relationship. We’ve noticed that something is missing from traditional coaching – active learning of leadership competencies. We know that most leaders don’t have the time or resources to attend intensive training programs that are not tailored to their needs.

She has a breadth of knowledge and many years of executive level leadership, with oversight of large-scale complex healthcare systems and teams. Lisa excels in active listening, communication, strategic thinking and questioning, and creating a partnership of trust and accountability. She is truly a remarkable individual, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her coaching skills.

    Chief Nursing Officer, Northeast Region 

  • Jenna was a phenomenal coach – her approach in our sessions was warm and supportive at both a personal and professional level. I appreciated her clarifying our roles in the coaching relationship as well as the continued focus on aligning my leadership with my values. Creating and focusing on the goals during my coaching allowed me to see progress and identify the next steps and future needs. She helped me identify behavioral data that reframed and changed many of the patterns that were limiting my growth. At the end of our time, I was sad to end but knew that I had gained the tools to succeed and self-correct when needed.

    Leader in Simulation-Based Education in Nursing, Northeast Region

  • Our company contracted with Emily to create, curate and deliver educational instruction and training for a wide spectrum of clinical and communication issues. Emily is a highly skilled educator and has a deep understanding of how to successfully manage complex programs within a healthcare system. She is knowledgeable and an exceptional resource for those wanting to learn. I looked to her as a resource for understanding systemic nuances of issues we were tackling together and in that time, it has been a pleasure to collaborate with her and learn from her. Emily stands out for her original thinking.
