Executive Coaching

Executive coaching focuses on enhancing communication, organization, and management skills, tailored to meet the specific needs of each business leader. Founder James Tierney will work with you weekly or biweekly to keep you focused and on track. In your sessions with James, you will:

  • Master storytelling in presentations and pitching.

  • Review your goals and create systems that form long-lasting habits.

  • Set and achieve weekly, monthly, and yearly milestones.

  • Explore different management styles and focus on empathetic listening.

  • Improve time management, organization, and planning skills.

  • Develop executive functioning skills to address challenges faced by individuals living with AD/HD.

Each business leader’s experience with coaching will be unique, and James will personalize each session to address your specific needs and challenges.

Executive coaching starts at $150 per 45-minute session.

Improv & Leadership

I offer teambuilding and leadership workshops based on improvisation skills through Happy Valley Improv, LLC.

Happy Valley Improv, LLC is State College’s premier long-form improv company. Our mission is to cultivate and support a community of people dedicated to the study, practice, and exploration of improvisation.

We offer this study, practice, and exploration of improvisation to our non-profit, educational, and corporate partners through customizable participatory workshops. These workshops can take place on-site, at the Blue Brick Theatre, or virtually.

Each workshop is unique because we work with you to develop a curriculum customized to your organization's needs. We then apply our toolbox of improv theatre exercises to those needs.

Each workshop is similar in that attendees will experience improv through participation. This is true for in-person or virtual workshops. At the top of each event, we establish trust and safety through improvised ice-breaker activities showing everyone that it is okay to step outside their comfort zone. This trust supports subsequent activities focusing on the skills you discussed before the event.
