Leading is challenging. It’s personal. It can feel overwhelming.
Ronni Hendel partners with leaders seeking greater capacity to navigate the complexity and uncertainty of the moment we are in.
Ronni Hendel
Ronni works as a coach and facilitator with leaders and teams navigating an unprecedented level of complexity. She supports their growth in two distinct ways: increasing intentionality—responding thoughtfully rather than reflexively, especially under pressure—and range, building a wider set of approaches and tools to draw on. She recognizes that one without the other is insufficient.
And intentionality starts on the inside. Creating a pause between what happens and how we respond depends on quieting our nervous systems so that body and mind can work together. When our nervous systems settle, our best thinking becomes available, and we can meet pressure with intention rather than reaction.
Ronni’s starting point is that her clients are whole and capable—that development is about expanding our capacity—not fixing something that is broken. She works with leaders so that they are able to stay steady under pressure, work with competing demands, and lead with clarity when there is no clear path.
Ronni’s clients are located across the globe, including Africa, Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, as well as throughout the United States. She works across multiple sectors, including healthcare, higher education, technology, consumer products, social enterprise, and non-profit.
Without reflection, we go blindly on our way, creating more unintended consequences, and failing to achieve anything useful. It's amazing to me how much we do, but how little time we spend reflecting on what we just did. Margaret Wheatley
Services
Ronni provides one-on-one and team coaching as well as customized leadership and team development programs. She also works with coaches seeking supervision. For larger projects, Ronni draws on a rich network of collaboration partners.
Individual and Group Coaching
Ronni partners with leaders at all levels. Working from the inside out, Ronni supports and challenges her clients in turning insight into new ways of showing up under pressure—building both intentionality, the pause that lets us choose our response, and range, a wider set of approaches to draw on.
Leadership Team Facilitation
Ronni works with teams so they can build on each member’s strengths, address the tensions that come with hard problems, and develop the trust needed to engage collaboratively. She supports teams in facing adaptive challenges that don’t have a clear fix and require everyone’s contribution.
Workshops and Programs
Ronni offers both stand-alone workshops and integrated programs that support sustained development. Recent topics include operating in complexity, working with polarity and paradox, navigating difficult conversations and conflict, building resilience, leading through transition, and coaching for leaders.
Coaching Supervision
Ronni also offers coaching supervision—a reflective space for coaches to step back, gain perspective, and renew their energy for the work. She supports coaches at every stage, from those just starting out to the highly experienced.
Testimonials
“Ronni worked with my team and me and was extremely influential in helping us make major changes to our senior executive team, our organizational structure and team, development. So pleased were we, with the work that she did for the senior executives, that we launch parallel initiatives for VP-level, Director-level and Mgmt-level teams. We engaged her to lead group activities and individual coaching...in short, she was fantastic.”
— Daniel Serpico Former CEO, Fusion Storm, IT Service Management
“I had the pleasure of working with Ronni for the better part of a year and found our time together to be an excellent investment in my development as a leader. Ronni is more than just an 'executive coach'; her wisdom extends to all avenues of personal improvement, as being an inspirational leader starts with who you are and then naturally extends to what you do. Ronni is passionate about what she does and will selflessly share all resources at her disposal, as she is dedicated to the art and science of self-improvement. I would recommend her services to anyone interested in becoming a better leader through influence, understanding, and care.”
— Michael Perlish Executive Vice President at The Gap Partnership
“Working with Ronni both individually and as a group has leveled up our entire leadership team. Through team workshops, we've increased effectiveness in how we work together as a team and learned new concepts to help us lead through new and increasing challenges. Through individual coaching, I've also seen many of our leaders learn new skills and gain new perspectives that have driven their professional growth and translated to higher performance for our team. Whenever we have a difficult conversation, communication, or people challenge coming up, someone will inevitably say "you should talk to Ronni."
