Leadership Coaching
“Always choose influence rather than power. It helps change people into people who can change the world.” – Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks z”l

Leadership Coaching, at-a-glance
Vision: Your coach is a thought partner, who will guide you to reflect on your authentic leadership style, and develop a vision that aligns with your core values.
Habits and Competencies: From effective communication and strategic decision-making, to team-building and conflict resolution, your coach is there to support you in identifying skill gaps, and thinking about how to address them.
Reducing Isolation and Burnout: Organizations rely on trained and inspired leaders to accomplish their goals. Regardless of the setting you work in, coaching will offer you a time and place for the self reflection, dreaming, and capacity building you need to be well resourced for your work.
Participant fee: Our coaching package includes ten, fifty-minute sessions per year, at the subsidized rate of $1,500 for professionals working in the Bay Area. For those outside the region, the fee rises to $2,250. Limited spots available.
Early bird fee: Bay Area participants who apply before October 31, 2026 are eligible for a $1,200 rate for a 10-session package.
What participants are saying
“I’m such a fan of this support. Marissa is exceptional at what she does, and being able to gain access due to your program has made an immense impact on my work.” – Aleeza Lubin, Upstart
“My coach is such a thoughtful listener. She would ask open-ended questions, check for understanding regarding what she heard, and guided me to practical steps to put into practice. She gave me “homework” to keep me on track and moving forward, and also reviewed goals to make sure she was supporting me as needed in my role. The coaching sessions were open enough to share updates and new challenges and structured enough to determine best action/next steps to address items discussed.” – Denise Crevin, The Shalom School
“I don’t think that I would be where I am now professionally without my coach’s help this year – I am deeply grateful for this program and will continue to speak of it highly to all of my colleagues.” – Hadas Rave, Temple Sinai
“This coaching opportunity came at a critical juncture in my career and leadership. I was able to leverage the coaching to improve my current work situation, identify and address issues in my leadership, and make the most of a sabbatical offered through my work.” – Aliza Mazor, Upstart
