After 18-years as an executive coach, Ilene Schaffer now leads a group of colleagues that share the desire to bring out the very best in their individual clients and teams.

She is a big believer in the power of our mindset, the value of leveraging our strengths, and above all, the vital role relationships play in our ability to thrive at work and at home. Through her company, Ilene gets great satisfaction from watching her clients step into their most powerful self as they navigate change. When possible, Ilene likes to walk (virtually) with her clients, and is a big proponent of getting outdoors to let the creative juices flow.

 

IN THIS EPISODE, ILENE AND NATE EXPLORE:

  • What is Positive Psychology, and why it is taking off as a concept in the leadership space.
  • The powerful and inclusive use of the word ‘AND’. 
  • Finding ‘what is right’ with situations as a basis of continual and ongoing conversations.
  • The benefits of developing relationships through virtual environments.
  • Find out more Silicon Valley Change, and about Ilene Schaffer here and through LinkedIn.
  • Connect with Nate Leslie here.

Command and Control Leadership is Dead. We interview leaders, entrepreneurs, and Certified Executive Coaches challenging old paradigms and fostering cutting edge leadership. The brain behaves very differently when ‘encouraged to think’ rather than ‘told to listen’. Hosted by Nate Leslie – Certified Executive Coach (M.Ed., ACC, CEC) and former professional athlete.
