Executive Coaching
Leaders lead by understanding what it takes to follow and be followed in the workplace.
By beginning with the initial question of “why” we are all here and then moving forward to establish the “how,” we work to build the skills required for leadership to work as a cohesive and unified leadership unit. We also apply our proprietary methodologies to bolster several soft skills needed to lead departments and people effectively while consistently meeting and even exceeding the mission of the organization and aligning/realigning the people with the values.
What makes 2Twenty’s approach to executive coaching different than most is based on the philosophy of our founders:
As leaders, we know that our workforce is our greatest asset. But how do we inspire our employees to give their best? According to Shawna Norris, a seasoned executive coach and consultant, it's all about focusing on the mission and values of the organization. When employees understand the bigger picture and feel connected to the company's purpose, they are more likely to give their all because they want to, not because they have to.
Shawna brings over 20 years of experience in executive leadership and coaching, along with impressive credentials from the International Coaching Federation and National Board of Health and Wellness Coaching, and advanced degrees in both Health and Wellness Coaching and Human Resources. She has the skills and relatability to guide professionals through challenges and help them identify goals and areas for improvement, promoting both personal and professional growth and accountability.
Let Shawna help you create a culture of commitment, growth, and success for your organization.
