Hi, I am Mahan

Here to support your leadership success

Leading teams as a senior executive is not easy. The accelerating pace of change, the ever-greater demand for inspiring yet empathetic leadership all while needing to focus on organizational purpose and executing on a strategy to deliver measurable results can leave you feeling anxious, stressed, frustrated, and very much alone.

But not to fret, there are proven approaches through executive coaching and leadership consulting to address these issues and more. As someone who has served as an operational leader in various senior roles and as a coach to senior executives from across industries, I understand first-hand what it is like to deal with these frustrations.

With my support executives in the Washington DC region and globally have been able to: Become the kind of leader others want to follow. Set and execute breakthrough strategies. Nurture a healthy organizational culture that gets results. Implement Systems for Success such as OKRs. Align teams and improve team communication while improving team culture through partnering leadership!

Ready to Partner?

I am a believer in Purpose Driven Impact. The best teams have a clear, unifying, and inspiring purpose. Recognizing the importance of purpose is a critical first step. There are three additional key beliefs that my clients and I share in our partnership…

GROWTH & REINVENTION

With a rapidly changing world, there is a need for people and organizations to continue reinventing themselves. Finding new ways to disrupt the status quo is the only way to gain a competitive advantage - as individuals and organizations. The best leaders lean in and embrace change.

PARTNERING LEADERSHIP

The foundation of your relationship with your team is built on authenticity and trust. Partnering with your team is what pushes them to unlock their full potential, and gives them insight into how they can grow. People are looking for leaders that treat them as partners, working together to achieve a greater purpose. That is partnering leadership.

PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY

The best leaders truly value their people and work hard to create psychological safety for their teams. This doesn’t mean accepting subpar performance or sloppy work; however, it does require a person-centered leadership perspective that encourages open communication, growth, and experimentation.

I wholeheartedly recommend Mahan and seeking his counsel. It will be one of the most valuable investments you can make in your organization’s future success.
