FAQ
It is in the questions that we find our answers.
Coaching is about exploration and discovery of what has always been true, but has been hiding behind the unasked question. And then once asked, it is the unanswered question that holds the power waiting to unleash.

General
What is the focus of Unleash The Oh’s services?
The focus is helping leaders and teams unlock their power by aligning who they are with how they lead. We support growth that is rooted in purpose, shaped by presence, and powered by authentic leadership.
Rather than follow fixed programs, we adapt to the unfolding needs of each client. Tools and frameworks support the work, but the real focus is forward movement: engaging what is emerging in service of who the leader is becoming.
Who can benefit from Unleash The Oh’s programs?
Anyone ready to grow, evolve, and lead with more purpose and presence can benefit. There are no boundaries, no right or wrong kind of person to engage in this work. It is about you—or your team—becoming more than you are today, regardless of where you start or what you believe about yourself.
Whether you are stepping into new challenges, seeking to sharpen your impact, or working with others to build trust and alignment, this work meets you where you are and helps you move forward with purpose and presence.
I am not a leader. Can I benefit from these services?
Yes. The programs are for those who are ready to grow their leadership, regardless of title. Whether you lead yourself, a team, or an organization, we help individuals and teams discover untapped power and lead with purpose and presence.
I have managed people for years. What can I really learn?
This work is about expanding your range as a leader—how you listen, show up, adapt, choose and influence across different contexts. It helps you deepen the impact of your presence, sharpen your alignment with what matters most, and lead with greater intention and purpose.
For seasoned leaders and teams, the goal is not just improvement—it is evolution. We journey to your edge and then step over it.
I am shy and I am not sure what I want to get out of it.
You are not alone. Many leaders come to this work without a clear plan—just a quiet sense that something more is possible. You do not need to be loud or certain to lead. You do need the courage to be curious.
We begin where you are. Coaching helps you clarify what matters, build confidence in your leadership voice, and lead from the strength of your presence—not in spite of it. Shy leaders often care deeply about their teams but hesitate to speak up or ask the hard questions. That gap can feel isolating.
Our work together can help you bridge that gap—both within yourself and with your team. Through coaching, team sessions, and organizational listening, we create space to surface what matters most. You do not have to carry the full weight of team dynamics alone. When you lead with presence and clarity, others follow—not because you are loud, but because you are real.
What results can I expect?
The results depend on what you bring to the work. This is not passive development—it is an active partnership that invites honesty, intention, and growth. When you show up fully, you can expect greater clarity, deeper confidence, and powerful leadership that feels more aligned with who you truly are.
For teams, the results often include stronger trust, clearer decision-making, and a renewed sense of shared purpose. Whether individual or collective, the real outcome is transformation that sticks—because it comes from within and grows outward.
How is Unleash The Oh different from other leadership coaching services?
We are partner-focused—whether working with individuals or teams. Our work is rooted in authenticity, presence, and purpose, and every engagement is co-created to fit the unique dynamics, challenges, and aspirations of the people in the room. There are no off-the-shelf solutions—only what serves the real work as it emerges.
How can I get started with Unleash The Oh?
Getting involved is simple and personalized. The first step is to reach out so we can learn about where you are, what you’re facing, and what you want to achieve. This initial conversation helps determine how best to partner with you—whether through 1:1 coaching, All-In support, team sessions, or a tailored combination.
You can expect a thoughtful, no-pressure conversation focused on understanding your unique goals and challenges. From there, we co-design an engagement that fits your needs and sets a clear path forward.
combinING services

What might that look like?
You might start with observation, shift into strategy sessions, and layer in coaching or All-In as leadership challenges evolve.
Do I have to choose a format upfront?
We can co-create the right approach upfront and as your needs unfold.

1:1 Coaching
When does 1:1 coaching make sense?
Coaching is about you. The whole person—not just your role, your goals, or your performance. It is about who you are, how you show up, and how you grow.
1:1 coaching makes sense when you feel the pull to evolve—when you are ready to step more fully into who you are and how you show up in the world. It is not about fixing what is broken. It is about unlocking what is already within you: clarity, confidence, purpose, and presence.
You might be navigating a transition at work, facing a shift at home, or sensing it is time to grow in a new direction. It could be stepping into a bigger role, leading others with more impact, or simply reconnecting with yourself. You may be working toward a goal that matters to you but feeling stuck, questioning what is next, or ready to break free from patterns that no longer serve you.
Coaching meets you where you are—and helps you move forward in a way that feels true to you.
What occurs in a coaching session?
We slow down to get clear. You bring what matters most (an issue, a tension, a goal), and we work it. We surface what is really going on, clarify what you want, and identify what is in the way.
We uncover assumptions, test beliefs, generate options, and explore how you are showing up. You leave with greater clarity and commitment having made choices, and a next step that is yours, not mine. As you do, you become.
This is not advice, therapy, or cheerleading. I listen deeply, ask direct questions, and partner with you to unlock a way forward that is both true, actionable, and resonant.
What results do people experience?
More agency. More clarity. More traction. You lead from the inside out with presence, power, and purpose. Clients may realize, “This is what I needed but I could not name it.”
You will notice a shift in how you lead others and yourself, how others respond, and how effective and fulfilled you feel.

All‑In: Real-Time Partnership
What makes All‑In different from 1:1 coaching or even consulting?
All-In is an immersive, dynamic presence integrated directly into your real work. It is designed to complement and amplify your own purpose, action, and leadership by providing extended tactical and strategic support during critical periods or events.
1:1 Coaching is a structured, goal-focused partnership with regular sessions and check-ins that guide your growth over time.
Neither All-In nor 1:1 Coaching centers on delivering expert advice like consulting. Instead, both focus on catalyzing your authentic power and enabling you to lead from your own strengths and insight.
Why go All‑In?
Because some challenges require a partnership. When you are in it, leading change, facing complexity, or charting new ground, you need someone alongside who can hold space, ask the unspoken questions, and help you see what is emerging. All‑In means I am right there with you, helping you lead from your own purpose and power.
How does it work?
We design it together. That might mean joining key meetings, whiteboarding tough decisions, reflecting on the fly, or preparing for what is next. I bring my own strategic range, coaching presence, and lived experience, not to push an agenda, but to support and complement yours. This is embedded dynamic partnership, built around your goals, your purpose, and your power.

CHANGE LEADERSHIP
What is change leadership?
Change leadership is about your people. It is the commitment to lead people through change—not just manage and assign tasks. Leadership is the main ingredient and catalyst of change. It involves providing clarity, communicating the purpose, building alignment, and supporting behavior shifts that make change real and sustainable. It is about how change lives and sticks inside the organization.
When is change leadership needed?
Always. But in discrete changes, it starts before rollout, before decks, before training. To ensure change lands and lasts, you lead and own it from the beginning. Change leadership is the key to effective planning, execution and reinforcement of change. It includes preparing yourself then other leaders to guide their teams through the transition.
What will this look like?
It starts with you. Ensuring you are ready and committed. If you are not committed, no one else will be. We then clarify the story, design how the change is led, and discuss engagement and leadership behaviors that embed change deeply. Leadership is prepared to lead confidently, catalyzing the human side of change, addressing barriers, and not simply communicating it or implementing the technical changes.

Team ALIGNMENT
What is Team Alignment?
Team alignment is about shared purpose, trust, and dialogue—not surface-level agreement. It is the difference between people working together versus merely working at the same time. In our work, alignment means a team understands how it makes decisions, handles conflict, fluidly supports one another, and shows up to win together.
Why does it matter?
Misalignment is costly and de-energizing. It slows execution, erodes trust, and creates confusion. Aligned teams move faster, make better decisions, and deliver greater impact. They are more resilient in change and more confident in uncertainty. They learn faster because they trust one another enough to challenge, adapt, and improve.
How does it work?
We co-create sessions based on your team’s dynamics, challenges, and aspirations. Through deliberate experiences and intentional space, we surface what is unspoken, build shared language, and strengthen interdependence. Whether it is a reset, a lift, or a leap forward, our work together is designed to increase cohesion, collaboration and camaraderie to lead stronger together.

Strategic Advisory
What is Strategic Advisory?
It is a thought partnership designed to help you think more fluidly, see more systemically, and choose with greater intent. Whether you are facing a strategic crossroads, a complex challenge, or a growing sense that something needs to shift, this work helps you slow down, assess clearly, and move forward with deeper clarity and conviction.
It is a way to see what is truly going on—so you can act with purpose, presence, and power.
When is it helpful?
Strategic Advisory is helpful when the path is unclear, the stakes are high, or something important is emerging that requires your full attention. You may be holding a decision you cannot yet name, sensing a shift that is not yet visible, or confronting a challenge that resists easy answers.
In these moments, we create space for dynamic thinking to meet the complexity at hand – surfacing insights, connecting dots, and clarifying choices so you can lead with discernment and alignment.
Who is it for?
This work is for leaders navigating complexity – those holding a decision, sensing change, or facing a challenge that calls for deeper clarity and deliberate action.
It is not about having all the answers. It is about creating space to clarify goals, ask better questions, consider the consequences, and make meaningful choices—so you can lead with integrity when it matters most.

Organizational Listening
What is Organizational Listening?
It is a way of tuning into what is felt but not always said—across teams, culture, or moments of change. Organizational Listening is a way of tuning into what is present—but not always spoken—within your team or culture.
Is it a formal process?
Sometimes it could involve surveys, focus groups, structured interviews and synthesis. Other times, it means observing, sensing, and noticing what others might overlook. It is about more than gathering input; it is about creating space for truth to emerge.
Why use it?
To uncover insights and lay the foundation for more effective coaching or change work. To identify blind spots & test assumptions, and evolves based on what the moment calls for. It can also help amplify quieter voices that can be overlooked. Often the beginning of deeper work—but not always.

CUSTOMized Leadership Training
What is Customized Leadership Training?
Leadership development experiences that match your specific needs—whether it is equipping a handful of individuals with a critical skill or preparing an entire team for what is next. We can co-create a training syllabus, identify opportunities, and adapt to your audience. One session or many. Simple or strategic. Always tailored.
When is it helpful?
When leaders need to grow, not just in knowledge, but in how they lead. When your team is stepping into a new challenge, facing a shift, or simply ready to level up. When you are ready to invest in training that is relevant, responsive, and designed to move people forward.
How is it different?
It is about developing the mindset, presence, and behaviors of leaders and embedding those lessons in how they show up every day. It is designed to resonate. Delivered in context. Built to meet the real moments leaders face. We meet people where they are and engage them. It is practical. Relational. Built with you, not just for you.

Meeting FAcilitation
What is facilitation and when might I need it?
Facilitation is guiding a group conversation with clear purpose and focus. It ensures everyone who needs to contribute is invited in, while managing energy, tension, and obstacles to keep the discussion productive. This creates the conditions for deeper insight and aligned action on what matters most.
How is facilitation different from just leading a meeting?
Facilitation requires deep listening, tuning into both what is said and what is left unsaid. Instead of simply managing an agenda or directing the conversation, I listen for its natural flow and help guide it, creating space for diverse perspectives and unspoken dynamics to emerge. This helps the group move beyond routine discussion toward meaningful progress.
