Leadership & Life Coaching
Leadership development requires shifting your perspective through learning about self, self in relationship with others, and self in systems. Transformational leadership principals lay the foundation for many of the programs offered to assist leader’s development. Combined together, the program takes both transformational and systems thinking to advance your leadership capacity.

Sandra J. Horton serves as a Success Change Catalyst. Her focus and expertise in Change Management has helped her develop to build a bridge for leaders to shift from current state to their future state where they dream to be. As a Leadership coach I start to identify the business it’s purpose, systems, and strategies. I focus on the essence of the company by breaking down the identity “reputation” (purpose, value, mission) but the most interesting is the truth of the company – their integrity.
Integrity for business is best describes as pathway between the business/owner, workers/leadership, with the client journey including product and services. Integrity is the truth in that each part must uphold. If one of these is out of balance, then as a whole it suffers. With knowing your integrity as a business, you will be able to see the pathways using certain tips, tools, and insights to navigate your way through change. Accepting and implementing change requires knowing what your business stands for in all aspects. The wholeness creates the identity of the company.
In businesses there are six levels that I focus on for the integrity of the company. The first level is Accountability which is to have clear and open communication across all levels of the organization. Second level is to have Responsibility: is about taking radical leadership for all aspects of your business. Third level is Ethics where we see the moral principal foundation of the company and its people. Forth is Commitment where there is the dedication to the vision of the company as a whole. Fifth is ensuring Sustainability and will ensure the positive impact for future generations. The sixth level is Innovation where a company is open for improvements, change and growth.
When I evaluate these six levels of integrity, I will quickly see the gaps, hidden issues, and inefficiencies within an organization. Applying conscious leadership strategies, change management and emotional intelligence will unlock the pathways to activate success.
Strategies for leaders to live in integrity are best illustrated by being trustworthy, authentic, responsible, grateful, curious, self-lead and open to learn.
​
Individual integrity is paramount to be a conscious leader in today’s business environment. By identifying your integrity will allow you to feel fulfilled and empowered. Integrity is the truth of your reputation that proceeds you. My invitation as a Success Change Catalyst, is to get to understand yourself intimately by building self-awareness. Integrity is the key to living a successful life.
