“Twenty-first century leadership requires courage, resiliency and a honed set of relational skills on the quest to understand oneself and others.”

—Rosemarie Perla

Coaching Creates Space for Thinking

My diverse professional background has trained me to listen deeply to your unique view of the world and help bring the real you to your leadership work.

I coach from the “inside-out” in revealing your values, strengths, and leadership brand. These become your inner resources to navigate dark times with resilience and integrity.

Leaders who operate in reaction mode are easily overwhelmed. In the face of hardships, they might feel powerless and lose touch with themselves, those they lead, and those they serve.

Leaders who pause to think are calmer and open to see all options. They are able to speak and act in ways that are aligned with who they are and what they want to be known for.

Coaching with me will give you these moments of productive pause.

How do you manage yourself as a leader to respond with your best thinking?

How do you stay true to yourself through the complex challenges of leadership?

Results

Through coaching you will be able to:

Understand where your values and those of your company intersect and where they don’t so you can make choices that allow you to work within that culture without losing yourself.

Observe your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions without letting them run you, because being a leader requires knowing how to manage yourself first.

Look at the big picture – with realistic optimism – without getting caught in unproductive loops that narrow your view and ability to move forward.

Be the boss who frees people to be themselves, think creatively, and speak their mind while respecting other points of view.

Approach even the toughest conversations in a way that orients people towards possibilities instead of putting them on the defensive.

Working with Rosemarie has been a truly transformative experience, one that has deeply impacted both my personal and professional life. Her gentle yet steady guidance has been a source of light, compassion, and wisdom, helping me navigate complex challenges and uncover new opportunities with renewed confidence, clarity, and self-assurance. I am profoundly grateful for her unwavering support, which has not only strengthened my leadership but also deepened my sense of self-worth and self-discovery. For anyone seeking Leadership Coaching from someone who genuinely cares and brings about meaningful, lasting change, I wholeheartedly recommend Rosemarie. Her impact on my journey has been invaluable.

Rosemarie is a spectacular leadership coach. She guided me during my transition into a non-profit organization with a challenging history, and was an indispensable asset in helping me identify and lead with strengths that were necessary to build an organizational culture rooted in optimism.

I sincerely want to thank you for working with me for many months to break down old barriers and build a stronger more grounded me to take on the world. I don’t think I would have made the leap into my own consulting firm without you. Know your work is making a difference, you are appreciated and amazing at what you do!

I ended our coaching conversation with a feeling of celebration. Coaching has been an important part of my work and life. Identifying my strengths became the rudder and anchor in the waters of leadership and managing others. I became more empowered, clearer and better equipped to define a vision and to make daily decisions as an executive officer. It also helped me lead others in a more humane and intentional manner.

Rosemarie was extremely helpful to me at a critical turning point in my business. Her insight was invaluable and thought-provoking – her support and excitement about what I was trying to accomplish made her feel like more of a partner than a coach. She is definitely someone I will count on for advice and counsel again.

Coaching has made me a better, more effective manager. I am clearer about my subordinates responsibilities and have made those expectations known. In addition, I have gained confidence in my own expertise and skill set. I can now process negative responses and work towards a manageable solution. Furthermore, I realize the importance of taking care of myself so I will possess the stamina necessary to deliver quality results.

One of the greatest gifts I have ever given to myself is to work with Rosemarie Perla, an amazing coach who has been a constant source of inspiration, motivation, encouragement and support!. With her gentle yet firm guidance, I have developed clarity in my purpose and a strategy to translate my vision into reality. She has kept me accountable to myself, taught me new skills, and reminded me to value myself — without reservation!

Executive coaching assists me in being a more successful manager in my business. Now, I can effectively set and reach key goals. Through coaching, I step outside of my regular role as company leader and view the business in a new way. Coaching helps me stay ahead of the competition and gives me the edge. I am now clearer about how I want to live my life as a business owner. This experience has allowed me to work on my business and not in my business.

Rosemarie is a highly effective coach who provides outstanding coaching to the business leaders that we support through our organization’s work. She is a highly trained and skillful addition to our team. Rosemarie is compassionate and committed in her work, coaching clients to express their strengths, envision their futures and supports them toward successfully expressing their best selves.
