Help individuals, organizations, and whole communities become the best they can be.
In a confidential, one-on-one setting, Bridgeport invites clients to connect with the ground truths of their professional lives, examine how these truths harmonize (and/or conflict) with their whole selves, and reflect on their desired growth trajectory. The most important tools of this discipline – which some clients appreciatively describe as “work therapy” – include fluency with key frameworks for deepening self-awareness; the wide lens that comes from being in relationship with a diverse array of organizations; and the ability to translate vision into a clear, actionable strategy. Those, plus kindness and humor.
One of Bridgeport’s favorite activities is providing individual leadership coaching for brave and talented CEOs, executive directors, academic deans, rising faculty, and the leaders of local government and community organizations. As they say, it can be lonely at the top. But it doesn’t have to be. We are honored to serve as trusted partners, confidantes, and cheerleaders to some of the most amazing leaders we know.
We also recognize that leadership is a team sport. We love coaching high-functioning teams who have bold goals for collaborative achievements. Even a light dose of external support in the form of an objective, external coach can lead to stronger relationships, greater resilience, and more satisfaction among your team – an ideal foundation for doing courageous work together.
