Ondine brings more than twenty years of experience as a professional coach and facilitator to The Exetor Group.   Over the past eight years she has formally coached over 150 people focusing on one-on-one and group coaching in organizations.  Ondine’s special areas of interest are inter-personal communication, leadership presence and change management.  She uses the tools of consultation, coaching, team building, and management training to help clients build workplace partnerships that yield excellent business results. She has worked with executives one-on-one, conducted strategic planning retreats and visioning sessions with senior executive staff.

 

A simple, unifying thread ties together all of Ondine’s work. She strives to leave her clients not just more capable and skilled, but also personally enriched more in touch with their own passion and their commitment at work.   She assists clients in becoming better observers of themselves as they relate to work and key relationships.  Ondine believes the development of communication skills for an executive means developing congruency of language, physical presence and emotional intelligence.  To this end, she brings her experience as an actor and licensed psychotherapist to lead clients to a higher level of performance and innovation.   Her style is a balance of being warm, supportive and challenging as well as creative and down to earth. 

  She has helped organizations as diverse as the Sacramento County Department of Public Works, UC Berkeley’s Physical and Environmental Planning Dept. and Sprint PCS.  She is currently working with NASA, Visiting Nurses Service of New York and numerous clients in the entertainment industry as an executive coach and facilitator.  She is a mentor coach for the Newfield Network, a coaching school accredited by the International Coach Federation where she teaches and mentors people who are interested in both transactional and ontological coaching.
