Executive Coaching
Leading from a place of joy and equity can be tough. You might encounter competing priorities, resistance, or conflict within your team that seems insurmountable. You might face your own internal barriers—like fear, limiting beliefs, burnout, or bias that shrinks your effectiveness. You might feel alone in these challenges with minimal support from others.
One-on-one coaching can help you break through and achieve new possibilities as a leader. With the help of a supportive and confidential coach who’s in your corner, you can overcome leadership challenges and show up to work fully aligned with your values. As coaches, we share decades of leadership experience with our clients and offer openness, humor, and deep listening in every session. Over the years we’ve seen that visionary leaders need a full range of expert support to achieve their goals—and coaching is a powerful part of the action-driven toolkit.
As experienced guides with distinctive identities, we also offer camaraderie and unique understanding to clients who share our backgrounds and experiences in the workplace. (Viva is a cisgender, heterosexual, first-generation Black woman and Michael is a cisgender queer Michigan-born white man.)
The science behind coaching shows us that it enables clients to remain open to input and to access their own unique creativity. Connected conversation with a present and open coach has a positive impact on the brain, which in turn leads to improved relationships and a greater capacity to show up more powerfully in the world.

We typically offer one-on-one coaching to executives and people managers for a program of at least 6 months.
Team Coaching
We offer immersive and customized coaching experiences that create a safe and trusting environment for your leadership team to deepen their learning and take courageous action. As a cohort, the your team works through critical conversations and exercises to advance its goals. You’ll strengthen practical new skills, deepen your capabilities as an inclusive leader, and advance relationships that unlock team effectiveness.
Team coaching often centers around theme(s) that are most important to the group. Here’s a sample of potential themes we work with:
Creating an Equitable Organization
Effective People Management
Interpersonal Communication, Feedback, and Conflict
Strategic and Inclusive Decision Making
Trust and Psychological Safety
Power, Identity, and Leadership
Team coaching typically includes 90-minute group sessions over six months led by our facilitators with diverse identities.
