Certified Professional Coaching

The Power of Coaching

Think about the last time you had a really great conversation with someone. The kind of conversation where you felt seen, heard, and understood. The kind of conversation that left you feeling energized and motivated. That’s the kind of conversation you can expect when you work with a Certified Coach #icfcoach.

Personal and Professional Coaching

Coaching conversations can transform lives and help people reach their highest potential. Certified Coaches can do this through our understanding of human behaviour, our ability to cultivate powerful relationships, host challenging conversations, and our commitment to growth. Coaching is not about giving advice; it is about being a catalyst for people to find their answers and make meaning on the path to achieving their dreams.

We are trained to create a safe and confidential space for you to explore whatever is on your mind. We will help you to see things from different perspectives and will challenge you to think about things in new ways. We are also incredibly knowledgeable about the challenges and opportunities that other leaders and people are facing. This allows us to be a valuable thought partner as you navigate your own journey.

Coaching conversations transform lives.

Team Coaching

Teams are under pressure to achieve more faster, with less resources, in a world that’s constantly changing. This can lead to tension, conflict, decreased resilience, and a lack of trust.

Without the ability to have productive conversations, teams can quickly fall apart. This can lead to decreased productivity, morale, and innovation.

Team coaching provides a structure for teams to explore their dreams, values, and opportunities for evolution, to set goals, and learn more about each other in a safe and confidential space. This allows them to create the dynamics that will achieve results.

The heart of team coaching is conversations and creating mutual understanding. You won’t be listening to theory or looking at slide decks. As your host and guide for your conversation, we will support your team’s ability to learn how to navigate uncertainty, conflict, and complexity together.

Coaching for Couples and Partnerships

Do you find it a challenge to maintain a healthy and happy relationship?

You’re not alone. Many of us aren’t taught how to understand our emotions and express ourselves effectively. A powerful, intimate, loving, authentic relationship takes work and it’s worth it. By working with a Coach, you and your partner will enhance your self-awareness and communication skills to empower you to create the relationship you’ve always wanted together.

If we want to see real change in our world, we need to start by building strong relationships and connections with others. Why not start with those who are closest to us? When we come together as a partners and work towards common goals, we can create the kind of world that we want to see.

Coaching is also a highly effective way to come to terms with ending a long-term relationship where connection is still very important due to children or a business interest. We can provide a foundation for you to create a new chapter in an old relationship.

We offer a free consultation for you both to see what relationship coaching is like.

Leadership Development Coaching

You want to be an excellent leader but don’t know where to start. Many leaders are experts in their field, promoted without training or transition.

Leadership is an art and a science, and it requires specific knowledge and skills separate from industry knowledge and experience. There are so many leadership development programs and resources available, that it can be hard to know which one is right for you.

We offer individualized leadership development coaching that will help you identify your values and vision, strengths, and opportunities, set goals, and create a plan to improve your leadership skills.

Our assessments can include the EQi 2.0 and EQ 360 tools, the most scientifically validated and reliable emotional intelligence assessments in the industry.

Testimonials

I cannot say enough about the people behind Precipice Development and the work they do. I have worked with Jess and Kerri to co-design two comprehensive leadership programs at the University of Alberta. The content they bring forward is thoughtful, context-aware and well researched; their facilitation, authentic and engaging yet humble. Jess and Kerri live the practices they teach and it shows. It has been such a pleasure to work with and learn from them.

Our organization was grateful for Jess & Kerri's ability to hold space for challenging and brave conversations - it really set us up for success for the next year and I'm excited to see how we can continue to engage them in this work.

“Jess & Kerri, thank you so much for taking the time to help me with my mindset and perspective on my peers. Your techniques started working within the first 10 minutes. Amazing! The meetings became productive and stress-free.”

"The work you do makes a difference not only in the productivity of employees but in the lives of individuals. There are many challenges around us but if we remain curious and open, we can see them as opportunities for growth and deeper understanding. Your energy, thoughtfulness, and amazing ability to stimulate others to ‘see’ is so valuable in this journey. Keep up the great work – although you may not see it, even if it changes one parent’s spirit when they come home to their spouse and children, just imagine what a difference that can make."
