About - Perla Coaching

My Approach

“The leaders who excel are the ones who are willing to dig deep into questions of values, legacy, vision, beliefs, and what’s important to them. These questions are the core of my coaching. My diverse background informs the cornerstones of my approach.”

—Rosemarie Perla

Possibility Mindset

In studying human behavior and performance over my career, I have witnessed the transformational power of focusing on people's strengths instead of trying to "fix" their weaknesses. You will develop a possibilities mindset so you can look ahead, no matter what’s going on, and encourage everyone you lead (including yourself) to play to their strengths.

Curiosity

As an artist, I have learned to look at things from every angle. You will become exceptionally curious about yourself, ask new questions, and embrace new perspectives because you cannot expect different results without a shift in thinking.

The Leader & The System

As the former Administrator of a healthcare system, I managed a large network of teams and saw firsthand when there's a problem in an organization, everyone needs to be accountable. You will learn to look at yourself in the context of your organization and navigate the complex “dance” of leadership, so you can improve the system while staying true to yourself.

The "Emotional" World

As a student of theories regarding complex emotional behavior of human systems, I blend coaching with introspective work that encourages you to understand all facets of yourself and others as the complex human beings you are. Your capacity for understanding will encourage you to show up with empathy, not frustration. Great leaders observe their emotions objectively and know how to manage them.

Behavior Change

In my studies of social science research, I've learned that true transformation doesn't stop at awareness and insight. You'll be empowered to take new action, reflect on its results, and continue adjusting until you meet your goals.

Rosemarie understands the psychology of business and what employers and employees are going through. She helps me think things through with empathy for myself and others, and think strategically so that I am less overwhelmed.

Rosemarie is a spectacular leadership coach. She guided me during my transition into a non-profit organization with a challenging history, and was an indispensable asset in helping me identify and lead with strengths that were necessary to build an organizational culture rooted in optimism.

I sincerely want to thank you for working with me for many months to break down old barriers and build a stronger more grounded me to take on the world. I don’t think I would have made the leap into my own consulting firm without you. Know your work is making a difference, you are appreciated and amazing at what you do!

I ended our coaching conversation with a feeling of celebration. Coaching has been an important part of my work and life. Identifying my strengths became the rudder and anchor in the waters of leadership and managing others. I became more empowered, clearer and better equipped to define a vision and to make daily decisions as an executive officer. It also helped me lead others in a more humane and intentional manner.

Rosemarie was extremely helpful to me at a critical turning point in my business. Her insight was invaluable and thought-provoking – her support and excitement about what I was trying to accomplish made her feel like more of a partner than a coach. She is definitely someone I will count on for advice and counsel again.

Coaching has made me a better, more effective manager. I am clearer about my subordinates responsibilities and have made those expectations known. In addition, I have gained confidence in my own expertise and skill set. I can now process negative responses and work towards a manageable solution. Furthermore, I realize the importance of taking care of myself so I will possess the stamina necessary to deliver quality results.

One of the greatest gifts I have ever given to myself is to work with Rosemarie Perla, an amazing coach who has been a constant source of inspiration, motivation, encouragement and support!. With her gentle yet firm guidance, I have developed clarity in my purpose and a strategy to translate my vision into reality. She has kept me accountable to myself, taught me new skills, and reminded me to value myself — without reservation!

Executive coaching assists me in being a more successful manager in my business. Now, I can effectively set and reach key goals. Through coaching, I step outside of my regular role as company leader and view the business in a new way. Coaching helps me stay ahead of the competition and gives me the edge. I am now clearer about how I want to live my life as a business owner. This experience has allowed me to work on my business and not in my business.

Rosemarie is a highly effective coach who provides outstanding coaching to the business leaders that we support through our organization’s work. She is a highly trained and skillful addition to our team. Rosemarie is compassionate and committed in her work, coaching clients to express their strengths, envision their futures and supports them toward successfully expressing their best selves.
