You have a great life. You may not need a coach. Unless…
The demands and expectations arising from your career success are keeping you from the full, meaningful life you thought you would enjoy by now. Do you find yourself in a daily internal struggle of “Do I stay or do I go, and if I go, what’s next?”
What if you could address that struggle once and for all, with immediate, practical steps to move you forward in that rich, meaningful career and life you always intended?
I invite you to contact me, Gwen Jewett, for a complimentary, no strings consultation.
Are you a CEO, Director, Manager, Supervisor, Independent Professional, Executive or Elected Officer, and feel you have lost yourself to the demands of the job? Do you sometimes find yourself caught between your personal values and the expectations of others?
These conflicting feelings can show up in several different ways. You may have thoughts like:
- I used to love this career, but things have changed. I don’t know if it’s just me or if I no longer fit the environment.
- I want a change, but don’t even have time to think about it!
- I’d love a change, but I have so many ideas swirling around in my head it’s impossible to choose only one!
- Why do some people around me seem to be able to accept the status quo while I am so dissatisfied?
- Whenever I try to decide “What’s next?” my mind goes in so many different directions that I shut down.
- I dream of quitting and working for a non-profit organization so that I can help people and make a difference.
- The people with whom I work are the only ones who understand my situation, yet I can’t confide in them; I feel very alone.
Pilot Coaching is here to help you to reconnect – empowering you to succeed in keeping with your deepest values, with clarity and confidence. You can then give your energy to what is actually meaningful to you, and replace frustration with satisfaction and fulfillment from your work and from your life.
Few of Us Can Do It Alone
If you’re presently feeling more drained than fulfilled, I can help identify the source of that energy drain and get you back on track. Having been an Executive Director for 14 years myself, I know what it is to feel that you work in isolation and to question your own abilities and wish you had an objective source to turn to for feedback and support.
As your coach I act as your advocate – a champion and objective facilitator supporting and guiding you through the obstacles of all that is expected. Leaders and leader types are often criticized or patronized, and you start to wonder who, if anyone is telling you the truth. I promise to always tell you the truth and have your best interests in mind. And you can tell me the truth as well. You can share wins or challenges in a confidential, trusted environment. Together we will develop strategies and lifelong habits and learn how you can put them into practice so that you live and work effectively and confidently toward the things that hold meaning for you.
Commanding the Ship with Confidence at all Times is Challenging
As a leader, you probably question your own competence once in a while. As one client said, “I began to seriously wonder if I was crazy or if it really was everyone else.” One part of the work I do with clients is to be sure you get crystal clear about your core values so that you can liberate yourself from the moral dilemmas that occur when you’re asked to do something that doesn’t feel in line with who you are. You can then re-establish your boundaries, defining what you are willing to do in order to educate your stakeholders as to what they can expect of you.
Do you sometimes feel like you have worn your game face for so long that you don’t remember what your own face looks like? A fulfilled leader also understands the need to pay attention to healthy self-care – addressing your mental, emotional, physical and spiritual needs in order to be effective and balanced. Self-care includes things like:
- Support from peers who are not invested in your outcomes
- Establishing and maintaining effective boundaries
- Values that give your life meaning
- Physical health; diet, exercise, nutrition, & sleep
- Healthy relationships
I will help you evaluate where you need to build more self-care into your daily routine. I will also help you re-prioritize and organize your excessive commitments so you can focus on the important things in your life. We will look at where you want to devote your highest levels of energy and what you can delegate or eliminate.
What I want for you is to feel fully expressed in both your work and your personal life.
As your coach, I will work with you to:
- Clarify your core values and strategize how to manifest them seamlessly through your professional and personal life so that decisions come easily and don’t require heavy deliberation.
- Provide tools and strategies to further develop your leadership skills in areas that you find to be the most challenging.
- Replace dread with confidence!
- Build your energy so that you feel present, engaged and connected.

“Wonderful! You always ask what is pertinent to me at the time, and you aren’t afraid to tackle any challenge I am facing. You don’t get overwhelmed by complex situations or bundled challenges.
