BETH HIGH, DIRECTOR, PROGRAMS AND PRODUCTS

I encourage authenticity in my clients to facilitate their exploration and commitment to discovering their potential as leaders. I help them acknowledge the choices they have in how they lead. My approach is based on listening carefully for embedded assumptions and unique opportunities for choice. I commit to being authentic and transparent as well to model same curiosity I ask of them. I believe in an evidence-based approach to coaching, using tools that support the creation of positive change that can be documented.

I live in Chapel Hill, NC with my family and 3 dogs. I have committed yoga and mindfulness meditation practice.
