Coaching

“My own understanding of the fact that leadership is essentially an emotional process rather than a cognitive phenomenon, and my awareness of the vital importance of well-differentiated leadership for the functioning and survival of institutions…”
Edwin Friedman in A Failure of Nerve: Leadership in the Age of the Quick Fix

As a Board Certified Executive & Leadership Coach and Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, I am in the unique position to help my executive clients confidently bridge the worlds of both insight and practice in a powerful way. 

Executive coaching is more than just strategizing and setting goals, but also requires deep understanding of one’s emotional life and the underlying impediments that can keep one from achieving the goals they set out to accomplish. I address the whole person, helping a leader not focus solely on their work, but how they can make a positive impact in their relationships such as marriage and family. I desire leaders to thrive both at home and work.

Speak & Teach

I have taught over the years on a variety of topics and its impact on mental health. Whether I’m speaking to a room full of executives about leadership issues, a room full of couples about relational challenges, or an anxious group of people in the midst of life’s transitions, I am interested in helping those I speak to develop deeper insight into themselves, along with skills to practice, that will help make immediate changes when the workshop or talk is long over.

    Rhett Smith is such a wonderful clinician as well as a true asset to the fields of mental health and transformational change. What I believe sets Rhett apart is that he continually lives out his work by incorporating new techniques into his own personal journey and likewise in his professional support of clients. Even though he has considerable experience and training under his belt he consistently seeks to learn and grow his capabilities as a therapist and coach. Getting to work and train alongside Rhett, I have had the privilege to see the way he patiently approaches client needs and challenges. I also appreciate how Rhett is able to weave together the emotional, spiritual, and relational sphere's of a client story to help them find true holistic healing. I know without a doubt that both individuals and couples will be in caring and capable hands working with Rhett.

    Rhett Smith embodies the principles and tenets of our profession and is the consummate therapist, writer, speaker, and teacher. I have had the privilege of working with him in multiple areas of his expertise and after time with Rhett, regardless the context, find myself with new information and insight, professional camaraderie, and enlivened passion. Much of who he is as a professional is because of the type of person he works to be. He is the real deal.

    Rhett Smith is a gifted teacher, trainer, counselor and coach. He is one of those presenters that is always meticulously prepared, helpfully organized and clear in communication. The main reason he is effective in his work, however, is his willingness to be transparent and open with his own growth and life. As such, he is not only a teacher but a great companion for those he leads in learning about both experiencing joy and working through hardships.

    I knew that I was not healthy emotionally but I had no idea where to start. Years ago I started talking to Rhett and his work with me was the very thing I needed to begin living a more emotionally healthy life. Rhett is also continually working on his own health and is able to listen and share compassionately and with great insight from his own journey. He is a person that I trust, admire, and would highly recommend to anyone.
