Beth Wonson, Leadership Coach and Communication Expert

Get Coached by Beth Wonson

When I was starting my career in leadership, having a professional coach or mentor would have saved me a lot of time, stress, frustration, and drama. I experienced moments of feeling isolated, like I didn’t know everything I needed to. There were times when I felt people could see right through me and into my lack of competency. In these moments my communication, ability to navigate conflict, and ability to build trust suffered most.

Of course, I was chosen to lead because of my specific skills, talents, strengths, and expertise. But when you are leading people, it is easy to question yourself. 

The Benefit of Coaching

Working with a leadership coach is an opportunity to have a professional walk with you, remind you of your strengths, help you access new skills and tools, and provide you with clear and kind feedback.

I’d love to be that person for you!

For those interested in doubling-down on becoming the best leader they can, I highly recommend Beth.
— Jessica Roberts Pearson, Executive Officer, Delta Stewardship Council

Throughout my own leadership career, (CEO, COO, Director, and Manager), I did thorough research and deep practice to create a framework that would be most beneficial to me. That developed into Navigating Challenging Dialogue® (NCD). NCD builds self-awareness, emotional self-regulation, empathy, and curiosity in existing and emerging leaders. Following my 4-step NCD framework not only made me a better communicator, it improved all of my relationships. 

NCD is now the foundation of all the coaching, mentoring, and consulting work that I do. Hundreds of leaders and emerging leaders, from both public and private entities, have benefited from integrating Navigating Challenging Dialogue® into their leadership skills.

My coaching relationship with Beth Wonson has had a positive impact on my leadership and on my team. Her insights, wisdom, and skillfulness as a coach have not only supported me situationally but helped prepare me for the next step in my career.

Choose the Right Program for Your Needs

Communication Coaching Program

Healthy communication is at the heart of trust, effective leadership skills, and the ability to navigate conflict. 

This program is for you if:

Executive Coaching & Advising Program

I know firsthand that leading can be isolating and difficult. 

  • It can be challenging to motivate and hold team members accountable, especially amidst change and uncertainty. 

  • Even those leaders with the best intentions can make mistakes that damage trust which derails momentum. 

  • New communication and leadership skills may be required to repair trust and navigate shifting workplace culture. 

Being good at “the work” does not guarantee leadership success. 

My clients are talented and motivated, but also often exhausted by the unique challenges of managing humans. They have exceptional skills that got them promoted in the first place. And they recognize they need to expand their leadership toolkit to take their team and organization to the next level. I provide the guidance and feedback proven to help leaders achieve their goals. Includes inter-session support via email to resolve situational, time-critical issues. This program typically runs 4 months or 8 months.

I hired Beth as my coach not only because of her vast hands-on experience, but because her feedback is direct and she holds me accountable.
