Summitry Coaching is founded on three fundamental commitments:

• Work with clients on distinctive, multi-dimensional, critical issues; Summit problems are the challenges leaders face at the summit of their organization/career.

• Engage multi-faceted strategies, models, methods and tools of organizational coaching to match the depth and complexity of the client’s summit problems.

• Embrace and display an appreciative perspective with the client that enables the client to identify existing strengths, accumulated wisdom and past achievements that can be deployed in meeting the challenges of the summit problems.

Summitry Coaching is implemented through two fundamental strategies:

• Strategically generate and implement a customized, integrated, systematic process for personal business development action.

• Engage this process in three distinct domains: networking, marketing, and selling of organizational coaching services.
