Leadership , Team and Executive Coach Laurie Fenske

Empowering Excellence

Throughout my life I ’ ve had the outlook that I have no regrets , just learnings . Truth be told , there have been some huge learning opportunities along the way . Having said that , had I known earlier on in my career , the things I know now – I wouldn ’ t have changed a thing . I truly believe that every step along the way has allowed me to grow and develop not only as an individual but also as a professional business woman .
I stepped into the Coaching Arena as I was seeking something that would differentiate me from others . Most of my peers had lengthy tenure compared to mine . So , recognizing that I would never be able to match the experience that comes along with all those years of service , I sought something that I could bring to the table that would support them , and myself , as we worked towards growing the company culture .
That ’ s when I became intrigued by this world of coaching . Initially , I intended to take just the preliminary training , but the more exposure I had to the power of coaching , the more engaged I became . Working diligently , I first attained my Associate Certified Coaching designation , followed by the Professional Certified Coach designation , and have continued to be a member in good standing with the International Coaching Federation . I also am recognized as a Mentor Coach for the ICF .
Since then I have left ‘ Corporate Canada ’ and established my own Coaching Practice . It is through this fulltime commitment to the world of coaching that I have the honor of supporting individuals who are dissatisfied with their current state . My clients have collaborated with me and we ’ ve seen increased production results , improved relationships , increased employee engagement and minimized staff turnover .
I ’ ve heard coaching described as the ‘ vehicle ’ that gets a person from where they are in their life now , to where they want to be . Recognizing that I specialize in ‘ Leadership ’ and ‘ Team Coaching ,’ the desired end state is that a leader or a team moves forward …. As determined entirely by that client .
For coaching to work , there needs to be a fit between coach and coachee . Through an initial coaching consult , it ’ s determined if my skills meet the client ’ s needs . Are you tired of struggling to achieve your goals , not understanding why your team doesn ’ t just ‘ get along ’? Tired of knowing that you have so much more to offer , but you just can ’ t bring it ? Let ’ s work together to empower YOUR excellence !
