Leadership Coaching
My coaching responds to the aspirations and challenges that leaders and others find at different junctures in their life and work. Oftentimes, a person seeks coaching from me in order to:
- work on particular goals in their leadership approach or style
- navigate current challenges in their work or life
- prepare for a career transition: new to a position, considering a new job or career, mid-career slump, preparing for the culminating chapter (before retirement)
- intentionally focus on their professional, personal or spiritual well-being
- develop new perspectives, strategies, and results in their leadership and life
A guiding perspective for my approach to coaching is expressed by Marcel 
Proust: “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.” In coaching we focus on shifting one’s perspectives, leading to new actions and leadership practices that can possibly lead to qualitatively different results.
After an initial exploratory conversation with you as a potential coaching client (at no cost), if we decide to proceed, we develop a coaching program that articulates the goals for the coaching and agreements about how we will proceed. I see clients in my office in Philadelphia or we “meet” on the phone or through Zoom video conferencing.
I have extensive training and experience in coaching and have a credential as a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) with the International Coach Federation. I am also a certified ontological coach and certified somatic coach and have received training in coaching from The Newfield Network and The Strozzi Institute. I am certified in The Leadership Circle and Immunity to Change facilitation.

Committed to clergy well-being coaching, I have also developed webinars, retreats and services related to practices that help clergy sustain their ministry and flourish in their personal and professional lives. Read more at Clergy Well-Being
Team Coaching
Team coaching programs are customized to the learning goals and aspirations of the team. They include leadership team assessments that are relevant to the goals and face-to-face and virtual sessions with individuals and with team members. Teams often find this helpful during a start-up of a team, when approaching a transition, or during a time of interpersonal conflict or other challenges.
Interested in any of these services? You may contact me at larry_at_lawrencepeers_dot_com or schedule a no-obligation phone call with me on my web calendar by going to my Let’s Talk page.
“At first I was unsure about coaching over the phone or Zoom as I had little experience with it. I found that Larry was able to listen carefully in a way that accurately identified not just what I was saying, but the feelings I was portraying as I spoke. Thanks for helping me find the things inside of me that yearned for in this position. The outcome for me, couldn’t have been better, and for that I am grateful.” —C
