Why Change Feels Slow (until it’s not)

I’ve watched my high school son grow 4.5 inches this year.
It’s wild.

Changes are big.
 Sudden.
  Noticeable.
   You can almost see it happening.

With adults… it doesn’t work like that.

The leaders I coach are often impatient. They want to see changes in their team in the first few weeks or months. They want to know it’s working.

And I get it.

But if you want to speed things up…to see results sooner—

The solution is NOT

❌ Working 1-1 with a coach behind closed doors while everyone else keeps doing what they’ve always done.
❌ One person trying to change while the system around them stays the same.

The way I get results with and for my clients IS when we:

✅ Have alignment conversations with stakeholders.
✅ Start having conversations with others about how you and they are having conversations - what patterns are working, and what are not.
✅ Change how meetings actually run—removing habits that don’t work and replacing them with ones that do.
✅ Put a stop to the end runs, the power plays, the coping mechanisms that keep the same patterns alive.

Because it’s rarely just one person behaving badly.

There’s a pattern on the dance floor.

And when that pattern starts to change, it can feel slow at first. Subtle. Hard to measure.

Until you look back.

And realize how much less friction there is.
Who has stepped up.
What behaviors aren’t showing up anymore… and how much lighter things feel because of it.

That’s the kind of growth I make happen with and for leaders and their teams.

And if that’s the kind of growth you’re looking for—

I’m your coach.
