Executive Coaching

Helping Houston executives become stronger business leaders.

​Lead with Clarity. Perform with Confidence. Transform with Purpose.

Entrepreneur Using Mobile Phone

In today’s fast-moving business environment, executive success demands more than operational excellence—it requires strategic foresight, adaptive leadership, and the ability to mobilize teams toward bold outcomes.

​

You understand the value of ongoing professional development, yet carving out time to reflect, grow, and elevate your leadership can feel impossible amidst competing demands.

​

Over time, even high-performing leaders can lose traction.
Not because of a lack of skill or ambition, but due to blind spots, unchecked assumptions, or habitual behaviors that quietly undermine effectiveness. Strategic opportunities get overlooked. Feedback loops close. What once felt like clarity becomes clouded by doubt, disconnection, or diminishing impact. You’re still leading—but not at your best. And you know it.

​

That’s where Epiphany Professional Development comes in.

The Epiphany Coaching Model

Step 1: Understanding Your Vision of Success

Your vision of success will provide clarity for the journey. In this stage we will establish desired outcomes, gather background information, explore current challenges and begin to discuss any self-limiting beliefs.

Step 2: Evaluation

At this stage we will gather information to better understand leadership behaviors and their impact on results. Tools utilized include interviews with stakeholders, behavioral assessments and/or 360 degree assessments with stakeholder feedback.

Step 3: Establishing Your Development Plan

Your development plan is a restatement of your primary goals along with the actions identified to progress toward them. This development plan leverages information and insight gathered to form a roadmap to the success defined in the initial stage. In some instances, we will seek alignment with stakeholders on the plan to ensure support and alignment with organizational objectives.

Step 4: Coaching

Coaching encompasses many aspects and methodologies that encourage exploration, foster experimentation and strive for cognitive and behavioral alignment that supports desired outcomes.

Step 5: Validation of Progress with Stakeholders

At this stage, if stakeholders are a part of the engagement, we seek validation of engagement progress against the agreed to development plan. Additionally, we continue refinement and anchoring new behavioral states to ensure sustainability of outcomes.
