based including Unilever, Royal Bank of Canada, Liberty
Life and Standard Bank. She has helped executives
translate their vision into action, align corporate
values, improve employee competence and commitment,
manage transitions, improve executives’ abilities to
coach emerging leaders, and implement lasting
improvements in their performance. Her coaching approach
has been described as “transformational,” “life
changing,” and “pivotal to our company’s best business
year ever.” Alyssa brings a unique point of view to her
work from her success as a triathlete; she helps people
benefit from the link between physical and mental
well-being and job performance. Some of her delivery
includes but is not limited to: COO to CEO transition, emerging markets,
merger and acquisition, new business ventures, and
growing capacity of executives and leaders to ensure the
business can grow. In concert with individual work and sometimes separately, she is working with executive teams and Boards to optimize how they work together as a team so that they can successfully handle challenges and lead their organizations.
Alyssa brings world-class expertise in executive
development and organizational change. The Peter F.
Drucker Foundation has recognized Alyssa as a Thought
Leader and granted her the distinction of invitational
membership. With Stratford Sherman, she co-authored “The Wild West of Executive Coaching”
(Harvard Business Review, November, 2004). She is
co-editor (with Marshall Goldsmith and Laurence Lyons)
of Coaching for Leadership: How the World’s Greatest
Coaches Help Leaders Learn (Jossey-Bass, May 2000), and
she has authored and co-authored books and articles
including “Increasing Customer Satisfaction,” (Leader to
Leader, Winter, 1997). She partnered with Marshall
Goldsmith, Frances Hesselbein, Gifford Pinchot, and
Richard Leider to create a leadership development tool
(Jones Internet Channel, Inc., 1997, Leadership
Online™), and she was featured on Sky Radio.
Prior to founding EXCN, Alyssa served as a senior consultant with a global professional services firm; she was a principal with Keilty, Goldsmith & Company, where she acted as Practice Leader; Alyssa also served as a leader in business in the hospitality industry working with Renaissance Hotels.
