Our Mission
The only constant in life today is change.
Our mission is to help leaders to develop adaptive leadership skills so they are future fit for change in work & life.
Coaching Adaptive Leadership for Succcess in Work & Life
High-achieving, successful CEOs and senior executives know that performance matters. But for many, success at work means sacrificing personal life - and even health. Using our Adaptive Leadership framework, we help these executives be future-fit so they can think from multiple perspectives, regulate their emotions and continuously unlearn and learn as required for innovation.
My name is Dr. Mindy Gewirtz, and I help clients deal with challenges and opportunities with less stress, more confidence, and better results.
In nearly every case, at some point my clients’ confidence, calmness and commitment increase to such an extent that they find themselves able to achieve greater things than they originally thought. When that happens, they have taken an important first step to transformation, a journey that becomes more exciting and rewarding every day.

Career and Worklife Coaching
Career coaching is available for individuals looking to make an important transition in their life. The approach is to look at the whole person. What are their values? What is their purpose in work and life? What kind work and worklife would work for them? It is in this whole life context an individual can make the most considered decision for themselves.
A series of 12 weekly session of 60 minutes is the package most requested.
