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.
That's the reality most leaders are working in. The question is what makes it possible to stay steady under pressure, hold competing demands, and lead with clarity when there's no clear path.
My starting point: you're already whole and capable. Development expands your capacity — it isn't about fixing something broken.
Two things are part of this work. First, increasing intentionality—responding thoughtfully rather than reflexively, especially under pressure—and second, range, building a wider set of approaches and tools to draw on. One without the other isn’t enough.
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.
I’m Ronni Hendel—a leadership coach and facilitator. My work with leaders and teams navigating complexity takes several forms: individual coaching, team coaching, facilitation, and workshops.
My clients are located across the globe, including Africa, Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, as well as throughout the United States. I work 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
I offer one-on-one and team coaching as well as customized leadership and team development programs. I also work with coaches seeking supervision. For larger projects, I draw on a rich network of collaboration partners.
Leadership Team Facilitation
Teams do their hardest work on adaptive challenges, the kind with no clear fix that need everyone's contribution. Together we build on each member's strengths, face the tensions hard problems bring, and develop the trust to engage collaboratively.
Individual and Group Coaching
This is inside-out work with leaders at all levels: turning insight into new ways of showing up under pressure. I support and challenge in equal measure, building intentionality, the pause that lets us choose our response, and range, a wider set of approaches to draw on.
Workshops and Programs
Stand-alone workshops and integrated programs support sustained development. Recent topics: operating in complexity, working with polarity and paradox, navigating difficult conversations and conflict, building resilience, leading through transition, and coaching for leaders.
Coaching Supervision
Coaching supervision is a reflective space for coaches to step back, gain perspective, and renew their energy for the work. I support 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."
