Coaching
Leading requires creativity, self awareness, focus, and a growth mindset. Leading brings challenge and should also bring learning and joy. Our employees and stakeholders have high expectations of leaders — demanding authenticity and action. And the world is full of complicated problems that need new solutions. Coaching is a “partnership” between the Coach and the Client in an empowering and creative process to meet the Client’s personal and professional goals. We would meet together weekly or bi-weekly and will be cyclical between genuine conversation and application of action. I have worked with leaders who wish to find new career paths and those who want to be the best leader possible in the organizations and fields where they currently work.
Consulting
In a time of rapid global disruption and evolution, organizations need to be regularly revisiting their values and organizing themselves in ways that align with organizational vision and meet the needs of employees and stakeholders. I have proven success in working with organizations in areas including diversity, equity and inclusion, strategic planning, communication and conflict resolution, leadership development, and emergency management. I am experienced in facilitating a change management process that gathers stakeholder voices and data and results in results-oriented execution. I am excited to partner with you!
Motivational Speaking/Keynotes
When attending a conference or event, people want to be inspired, educated and laugh. They want a new and creative ways to think about things. I have been an invited keynote speaker at various state and national conferences and events. I have experience speaking in areas including embracing change, mindful leadership, women in leadership, and writing and telling your own powerful story. I use my unique mixture of lived experiences and learning paired with best practices and data that is industry specific to inform and inspire others. The content, length and format speech can be adjusted to best fit the needs of the event. I pride myself on providing a fun atmosphere and informative and memorable content.
“We brought Dr. Hancock to campus to lead a two-day Assessment Workshop for the Division of Student Affairs leadership team. Lua prepared a comprehensive and application-based workshop focusing on strategic alignment, assessment plan development, as well as qualitative and quantitative skill development. She quickly established rapport with the team and increased both their knowledge and confidence with outcomes, measures and targets. We still use those tools in practice today and refer back to her lessons often. I'd highly recommend Dr. Lua Hancock for consulting engagements. We look forward to having her back again soon!”
