Human Centered Leadership Coaching
For Established and Emerging Leaders
Our Human Centered coaching facilitates profound growth, self-discovery, and the realization of potential in established and emerging leaders, entrepreneurs, and those early in their careers, in transition, or seeking personal growth. We focus on your unique perspective, feelings, experiences, and needs, rather than imposing external solutions. Our work draws from psychology, science, and mythology to help clients form stronger relationships and gain increased fulfillment, growth, and satisfaction with their work and person lives.
How We Coach
We create a supportive and trusting environment that empowers you to take ownership of your own growth and development. By gaining a deeper understanding of yourself and your strengths, you will develop a greater belief in your ability to achieve your goals.
You will naturally connect with your authentic self and expand your impact, create more authentic relationships with yourself and others, develop empathy, communication skills, and the ability to motivate, empower, and and help those around you to do the same.
Don’t Wait for Your Organization to Create Opportunities for Your to Grow!
WHO WE COACH
EXECUTIVES
Executives have already made the transition from doer to leader and now have significant organizational control and responsibility. It is a time for them to lead more effectively, expand their sphere of influence, and inspire others to do the same. Our Human Centered approach focuses on the whole person because we know: It is Never Just Business.
EMERGING LEADERS
Emerging Leaders are navigating or seeking their first leadership position. We unlock your ability to find your voice, set your vision, communicate, and influence. By helping you to find a holistic sense of balance and wellbeing in an often chaotic, politicized work-life environment, we enable you to lead as your authentic self.
ENTREPRENUERS
Our Human Centered coaching expands an Entreprenuer’s understanding that they can only control the culture they create that will thrive and the choices they make as they hire people to work with them. It takes a team to create a sustainable and scaleable business. With our coaching you can expect to grow in your business and personal life because we know: It is Never Just Business.
EARLY CAREER
We have special programs for those in the early stages of their career that combine workshops with coaching to make them affordable for those just beginning their professional journey. By learning to effectively be a leader of yours, others will see you as an emerging leader. We will help you connect with your authentic self, find your super power, form meaningful connections with others, and create an environment for your continual improvement.
IN TRANSITION/PERSONAL GROWTH
Our lives and careers are constantly evolving and there are times when we find ourselves lost in transition. Human Centered coaching is a blend of life and career coaching, helping individuals who are stuck in transition, searching for a career and life path that feels authentic to them, or seeking personal growth. Working together, we will help you connect to the authentic self that will guide you to act with purpose.
Phases of Our Coaching
Phase 1: Know Yourself
Everything starts by getting to know yourself. In this step, you will find your authentic self and learn to identify and change behaviors that no longer serve your purposes in life and work.
Phase 2: Authentically Connect with Others
This phase focuses on the way you act in conjunction with yourself and others. Behavior is important because it is what others experience and affects the way they respond to you. Learning how to truly know another person helps you to lead both yourself and others with impact.
Phase 3: Expand Your Sphere of Influence
Phase 3 focuses on expanding your perspective and understanding of the influence on the people around you. Work done in Phase 3 enables sustainable growth, effective decision making, and purposeful impact in business and life.
About Gary and Melissa
Gary Margolin
For over 25 years, I have served as advisor, consultant, teacher, and coach to individuals and businesses ranging in size from start up to multi-billion dollar private and publicly traded enterprises. My human centered approach evolved from my belief that there are really only two things that you can control in business. The first is the people that you allow to work with you and the second is the culture you create to support individual and team growth, the formation of authentic connections, a shared purpose, and a commitment to continual improvement. My goal is to make both today’s leaders and the leaders of tomorrow more successful by helping them create strong efficient teams with a common vision and the desire to work together to achieve extraordinary results.
My professional journey began as an attorney. After 20 years, I realized that it was not a choice I had made but rather the path that made my parents happy. It brought me to one of the darkest moments I had known, forcing me to change my career path to business where I earned a senior executive position in a Fortune 250 company. It is also when I began the path of self discover, finding my authentic self, and transitioning to helping others find their own success.
Now, joined by Melissa, we help clients find their authentic self to overcome limiting beliefs and behaviors achieve success in their careers and life.
Melissa W. Cooper
As a seasoned human centered coach, I help clients find their authentic self to overcome limiting beliefs and behaviors and achieve greater success. I hold a MA Counseling Psychology with emphasis on Jungian ( Depth) Psychology and am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. Over the past eight years, I have used my experience as a psychotherapist trained in relational and behavioral dynamics to help clients make their careers and lives better. My professional journey in business before becoming a psychotherapist includes impactful entrepreneurship as a yoga studio owner and teacher, creative consulting as an interior designer, and executive leadership of a modeling and talent agency. My experiences have made me passionate about helping women negotiate challenges that they experience in the work place.
The work I do as a coach at Cooper Margolin focuses on personal and professional growth and goal achievement and is different from psychotherapy. The prohibition on duel relationships for licensed psychotherapists prohibits me from seeing a client in both capacities. If you are a coaching client of mine at Cooper Margolin, I cannot see you as a psychotherapist.
If you are not a coaching client of mine and wish to see me as a psychotherapist please contact me through melissawcoopertherapy.com.
