Coaching individuals, teams, and leaders in transition.

Here you are again: at a growth edge where more of the same won’t be enough. You can’t seem to go from maintenance mode to breakthrough performance.

Welcome to the world of transformational leadership! At The Serving Way, our founder and principal leadership coach, Chris Thyberg, firmly believes in your innate potential to be a great leader. Unleash your hidden capabilities and lead from within with our proven guidance and support. Together you and Chris will create a custom leadership development program that leverages your skills with his coaching expertise. Perfectionism, conflict avoidance, or controlling habits are just some of the patterns holding leaders back from all they can be. It’s a VUCA world: Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous. Use that wasted energy to become a “new VUCA” leader: Versatile, Undeterred, Courageous, and Agile.

 

What is coaching?

Executive coaching is a collaborative journey between coach and client. You set your goals and together we chart your course toward success. This coaching process reveals auto-pilot patterns that no longer work and gives you the space to identify capacities that lead to breakthroughs.
