Confidential - Coaching a Leader Through Crisis

When a local executive director faced an unexpected halt to her growth plans due to a national hiring freeze, she found herself navigating resentment, team morale issues, and the threat of burnout—despite exceeding local revenue goals. Wirth Works stepped in as an executive coach and strategic sounding board.

We held space for her processing to then pivot with purpose, focusing on what could be controlled: supporting her team, refining her employer engagement strategy, and elevating her own leadership voice. Through regular coaching, we supported her in reframing challenges into opportunities for growth and adaptation.

The result? A stronger, more resilient leader and a local team that remained aligned despite national disruption. Her new strategies fostered engagement without overextension, and her leadership blossomed into external advocacy roles in the community.
