Executive Coaching We help you maximize your professional and personal goals

Is executive coaching right for you?


Consider the following questions:

Do you feel…

  • Do you feel “stuck” or “isolated” in your job or in your role as a leader of your organization?
  • Do you feel there are areas in your career or business that you wish you could improve or progress, but you find that there is no time to do so?
  • Do you feel pressure or stress from your boss, board, staff, investors, or constituents? And that you have no one to turn to for resolving your challenging work issues?

Do you want to…

  • Do you want to change or stop behaviors that are interfering with your progress?
  • Do you want to have more balance in your professional and personal life?
  • Do you want to have the structured and confidential support of an accountability partner who can help you be more successful in your organization?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, we invite you to experience our executive coaching services.

Executive Coaching Client

"A close friend of mine recommended Stan's Executive Coaching services to me, as I was in the process of applying for a senior leadership position within my company. I went into the coaching engagement feeling a little apprehensive, since I was unclear of what to expect and what insight he could possibly offer me on a "promotion" opportunity within my current company. Well, I must say that I was mistaken by my pre-conceived ideas about the coaching. Stan first worked diligently with me, to help me prepare my executive resume, as I had not needed to present a resume in almost 10 years. More importantly, he was instrumental in helping me to understand that there is a difference between interviewing for a new position at a new company versus interviewing for a senior leadership promotion within my current organization.

Working with Stan and the S.B. Lemons & Company executive coaching team provided me with insight and preparation that was invaluable. I learned a lot about myself, including strengths and areas of growth. Stan challenged me to level up and to recognize and celebrate my talents. With his assistance, I felt confident and overly prepared walking into my interview(s) before multiple panels, inclusive of the CEO/COO and an 18-person board. 

Stan has proven to be a consummate and knowledgeable professional. I am glad to call him a new friend, and I highly recommend his company.”

Executive Coaching and Facilitation Client

“Having founded a 21-year-old professional theatre company, my team experienced a level of growth that was new to us all. I engaged Norbert to facilitate two board of director’s retreats, and to also work with me as an executive coach. He has the ability to cut through complex relationships and to help our team focus on critical issues that matter most to our organization. Norbert is an engaging facilitator, and a master “cat-herder.” I was amazed that in a room of board members with varying degrees of involvement, wealth, and personalities, he was able to get us all on the same page. As an executive coach, I find Norbert’s counsel to be valuable, supportive, and stern. I appreciate that he is able to be my advocate and keep me accountable at the same time.”

Executive Coaching and Facilitation Client

“Leading a non-profit advocacy organization that has over 40 member organizations, I engaged Norbert as my executive coach to help me strategize and work through numerous board, staff, financial and strategic issues. He was extremely thoughtful in his approach to the challenges my organization faced. Norbert also helped me design and develop an inaugural workshop series for non-profit Executive Directors. He facilitated this workshop series and created a space where these hard-working executives could collaborate and do deep dives of key issues in a supportive peer environment. Norbert has a unique gift to encourage creative conversations and at the same time keep us all accountable and moving forward.”
