Intentional Change for Work and Life

Support for the challenges, demands, responsibilities and stress that accompany achievement. Clarify what you need to do, then act, and thrive.

Are you a mid-career professional, a corporate executive, or small-business owner? You have a big job with big responsibilities.

Do you want to make a change and either up your game or dial down? Is your lifestyle threatening your physical or mental well-being?

Maybe you’ve already tried everything you know. Or maybe you know what to do, but need accountability to make a significant change. Perhaps things are going well, but you feel restless or stuck... like there’s something more.

If any of these describe your situation or mindset, professional coaching will help… a lot.

Welcome!

I’m Allison Johnsen

Change and development are all about setting achievable goals, consistently working toward them, and removing barriers that inevitably get in the way.

I am uniquely qualified to coach clients living through significant transitions in their careers, businesses and lives. Over the past 30 years, I’ve gained an optimal blend of experience in business, professional development, healthcare and psychological practice. In addition to years of coach training and practice, I was a professional counselor for many years.

I offer a high-trust, high candor coaching experience that will develop your insight, skill and self-awareness. I will help you clarify what you want, or need, so that you can determine what’s realistic in your present circumstances at work or in your personal life.

Maybe it makes sense to put in some time repairing the personal wear and tear that have come with your achievements. If that's your situation, I can help you improve your self-care and well-being. High-performing, productive people will not “have time” for self-care. You have to set aside and fiercely guard time to sleep, exercise, and eat properly as if your quality of life depends upon it—because it does.

Who I Work With

Leaders, Executives, Founders

Examples of circumstances we work to resolve:

  • You are now running the show, expected to call the shots, people are relying on you and your confidence is faltering.

  • You know you need to get out of the operational “weeds” to strategize and grow your business, but you keep getting pulled back in.

  • You’re overcommitted, getting a little burnt around the edges and there just isn’t enough time. You know you need to set some boundaries and it’s hard to do on your own.

  • You know what you need or want to do to move ahead, but are procrastinating or mismanaging your time.

  • You have been receiving feedback about your behavior, tone of voice, demands. Your stress level and time pressures may be the problem.

  • The behavior of customers, patients, or your staff can be wearing. You may be struggling to manage your frustration or impatience.
