Why

I coach because I wish I were coached when I needed it. Thus, I have a strong desire to intentionally support leaders, especially educational leaders and emerging young leaders who are creating their roadmaps to career advancement.

I have experienced being stuck and needing clarity as a leader. I wish I knew what I know now and had the support then. Now that I have learned how to co-actively help leaders gain a fresh perspective, become unstuck, and gain clarity, I am committed and eager to do so. 

My value added is my empathy and optimism, complemented by 33-plus years in education and the International Coaching Federation (ICF) accredited training and certification in Leadership Coaching for Organizational Performance (LCOP).

My coaching can:

  • Help leaders acquire a Fresh Leadership Perspective.
  • Assist them in becoming effective change agents.
  • Move them from Silo Builders to Team Players, and
  • Help them experience joy at work.

Results

  • School administrators confidently became effective agents of change in their buildings.
  • Emerging young leaders created a roadmap to their career advancement.
  • School leaders moved from Silo Builders to Team Players.
  • Administrators were enlightend, refreshed, and prepared for the journey ahead.

Endorsements

I had the pleasure of receiving executive coaching services from Ms. VanDyke, and she came highly recommended by my principal. As an aspiring school leader, her guidance was instrumental in helping me find my strengths. Her deep knowledge and tailored approach have equipped me with the tools to guide me through my professional path. Her certification as a Leadership Coach for Organizational Performance is well-deserved, and I wholeheartedly endorse her expertise and the impactful ways she contributes to personal and professional growth.

Dr. VanDyke is a joy to work with. She has a real passion for what she does, which came through loud and clear in every coaching session I had with her. Her ability to listen, to ask questions that cause you to reflect, and to take you from a place of discovery to action is remarkable. I would highly recommend coaching sessions with her.

Coaching is a Spa session for your mind.  The session with Dr. VanDyke was a moment of discovery and enlightenment that left me refreshed and prepared for the journey ahead.

As a coach, Barbara is warm and welcoming, immediately establishing an environment of trust and openness. She has a gentle and supportive way of challenging coaches to go a step further, and plan how they will hold themselves accountable to their determined actions. I've left every session with Barbara with more clarity and optimism, and recommend her to anyone looking to make a change.
