Olas is a global firm working nationally across the United States from the West to East Coast and also internationally from North America to South America.

Traditional executive coaching is transactional: focused on a work-related linear and often short-term goal. Transformational executive coaching builds long-term, sustainable leadership growth and development. It centers the whole person, their lived experience, and how their leadership behaviors, beliefs, and ways of being influence their actions.

Not at all. Our team are experts across a wide-variety of leadership and organizational fields and can coach around any number topics such as: 

• Leading during time of change
• Navigating personal identity and leadership
• Building effective teams
• Motivation, engagement, and leading with purpose and vision
• Working with ambiguity and uncertainty
• Self-awareness
• Delegation and empowerment
• Communication skills and executive presence 
• Time and energy management 
• Communication skills
• Using coaching skills as a management tool
• Interpersonal relationships, listening, and empathy

Olas offers workshops and learning labs so you can learn to apply what you learn in a practical way, leading to personal and organizational transformation. Research and our experience as experts in the field show that most people and organizations are overtrained and under implemented leading to frustration, ineffective leadership, and a lower return on results.  

We customize all our services, including the length of the engagement.  Short-term engagements can help quickly develop capacity and/or resolve an issue in the organization. Long-term engagements (a year or more) allow for deep integration and transformation of our clients and the communities they serve.

We can partner with you to identify areas of focus and your unique organizational levers to increase your impact, using qualitative and quantitative data to determine your own customized plan.  Our step-by-step process will support you at every stage of your journey.
