Bridget brings her decades of experience to ILM Advisory Partners and leads the coaching practice with the following services:

LEADERSHIP ASSIMILATION: 

I partner with new leaders (from internal transfers/promotions

or external hires) to create, communicate, and integrate their vision with their organization through

one-on-one consultation, executive retreats, and strategic planning and goal deployment.

CHANGE STRATEGY CONSULTANT: 

Creating, implementing, and supporting change (both

cultural and structural). This multiple-step process includes initial consultation and analysis of the

change needed, group discussions to foster buy-in, strategic planning sessions with senior leadership

and advisory teams, executive (and team and key contributor) coaching, co-creating internal and

external communications, and monitoring of implementation.

EXECUTIVE COACHING: 

For individuals, teams, and problem pairs, I provide perspective, a

sounding board, and learning and development plans (including 360-degree evaluations) to increase

leadership acumen.

TEAM RETREAT FACILITATOR: 

I partner with singular or multiple divisions to form clear and

achievable missions, goals, strategies to establish a powerful and effective team.

MEDIATOR: 

Ask me about this if you have one or more divisions pointing fingers & tearing your

business into shreds. I coach the parties to discover common ground and weed out issues that block

collaboration.

CUSTOM DESIGNED WORKSHOPS:

I conduct custom-designed and turn-key workshops for a variety of groups, nation- and worldwide.

My most popular topics include communication and conflict, goal deployment, stress management,

higher productivity, and employee engagement.

CREDENTIALS/TECHNICAL SKILLSET:

360 Leadership Feedback Facilitator (using Benchmarks 360 & Grow Strong Leaders assessments)

Author and facilitator of over 70 leadership, communication, and interpersonal tools

Experienced in interpreting and discussing various personality and leadership inventories

collectively) for optimal success.
