HENDRICKSON COACHING
Life is a Journey
GROW. LEARN. THRIVE.
BECOME A BETTER YOU.
We are lifelong learners. We believe people have the capacity to change and grow throughout their lives, no matter their age or stage.
We partner with our clients and assist them in exploring situations from different perspectives, and deciding how they might use their strengths to be most effective.
We guide our clients through a flexible, results-oriented process tailored to what they want to achieve.
My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.

HOW WE CAN HELP YOU THRIVE
Leadership Coaching
Growing and thriving as a leader means continually learning new skills and shifting, both internally and externally. Effective leadership coaching will help you realize your full potential—whether you’re new in your role, or have had a lifetime of experience.
Executive Coaching
​
We work with executives across a range of skill levels and industry sectors, supporting them to be more effective, focused, and successful. We offer fresh perspectives, enabling you to reframe challenges and develop greater self-awareness and EQ mastery.
Transition Coaching
What was once exciting or fulfilling for us in work or in life may no longer be. Making career or life changes is something we all experience over time. Transition coaching supports you in discovering a world of new possibilities and going for what you want next.
IF YOU'RE NOT CHANGING, YOU'RE NOT GROWING.
​
Coaching is about change—deciding what you want to do differently, and working to make it happen, to become a slightly better version of yourself. For all of us, change is a lifelong process of questioning and affirming the relationship between who we are and what we do. Coaching is about exploring your assumptions, priorities and habits and deciding if they are still working for you as the world and your place in it changes over time.
Coaching offers support for you to make the changes that matter most to you. It is not about fixing problems or analyzing the past. It is not mentoring, consulting or therapy. It is about what you want to do in your future, how you want to be different in some aspect of your life, how you want to adjust to have a different impact on others or achieve a different outcome.
Together with you, we’ll identify your strengths, your core values, your passions, and your stories. If you want, we will collect stakeholder feedback to assist you in knowing how you are perceived by others. Understanding your strengths and building on them boosts learning and growing. Noticing your blind spots and triggers helps you steer the shifts you want to make.
As your partner, we will offer questions to encourage you to be curious about yourself and your world from different perspectives, and invite you to explore alternate ways of thinking, feeling and being. We will guide you in charting a path to reach your goals, and aid you in staying focused on what you determine you want to achieve.
Coaching is about you—what you want to learn and how you want to grow. It’s your work and your change journey. We enjoy going on the journey with clients to offer support and applaud their successes.
