Empowering and Transforming Leaders

Specializing in the Human Experience of Leadership

Leadership involves being at the forefront and standing alongside your team. Leaders see the path forward and inspire, respond, and model the way.

You also recognize that few callings are as exhilarating and intimately connected to the human experience as leadership.
It’s a role that can be hard to achieve and to relinquish, once you’ve tasted its rewards. Even when you are called to a leadership role you’d prefer not to take, you have the same responsibility to show up and do your best; for yourself and others.

You continually cultivate high performance, collaboration, and celebrate victories, all while reserving the toughest challenges for yourself and bearing the brunt of difficulties.

You inspire innovation and manage change. You create places and spaces at work where people feel safe to experiment, want to grow, and invest their efforts and time.

Ever feel “alone” while surrounded by people? That’s the hidden challenge. It’s not physical isolation; it’s the weight of decisions, the uniqueness of your role, the visibility, accountability, and the pressure to succeed on many fronts simultaneously. It’s no wonder leaders often feel like they’re on a solo journey and that ‘its lonely at the top’.

Data shows leadership can be isolating, even amidst achievements.

  • According to 2022 research by Deloitte, 30% of executives reported that they always or often feel lonely. 1
  • Another study found that over 70% of new CEOs report feelings of loneliness. 2
  • Forbes Books author Laila Marouf says, “Your loneliness is actually a warning sign that you may be off-track to providing your best leadership.” 3

The good news? You're not alone!

"Leadership is needed and wanted at every level of social and professional organizations.Whether and how to lead is your choice."

Beth Masterman is an exceptional coach with great insights! She has an incredible ability to listen and deeply understand your concerns. She knows how to ask questions that will help you move past roadblocks and succeed. I’ve been coaching lawyers for over 20+ years and I’ve hired my own coaches in the past. Beth has brought me to a whole new level of awareness about how my services differ from traditional coaching. She has helped me articulate my own value proposition in a way that differentiates me from other coaches and consultants. She has also helped me to identify excellent ways to align my marketing with my business goals. Beth challenges your assumptions, but she does this in a way that is incredibly supportive and productive. I highly recommend Beth to any executive or professional who needs help defining the scope of their services.

I am grateful to have found Beth and Masterman Executive Coaching. Her gentle but direct style was welcoming and I identified barriers that I was able to overcome allowing me to grow as a leader, manager and person. We worked on setting goals with measurable outcomes, which I did achieve. Beth’s ability to deeply listen, then provide feedback in a non-judgmental way, allowed me to find my voice and speak with better clarity. Beth’s coaching also guided me to handle difficult conversations and ask better questions. I highly recommend Beth as an executive coach.

Beth greatly helped me to better understand what motivated and drove me professionally, and guided me through a difficult situation and decision. Her ability to relate to me on a personal and professional level made Beth a very trusted advisor. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is either transitioning into an executive leadership role for the first time or is already in the role but needs help with moving to the next level in their career.

Beth defines what a coach should be in every sense of the word – creative, intelligent, empathetic, and non-judgmental. Her high standards make you accountable and still allow you to operate and make decisions in your comfort zone! One outcome from working with Beth is that my business and I are now stronger and more efficient.

John Dustin

CEO, JED Insurance and Financial Services Agency

Beth skillfully guided me through a “360” review while NEASC was immersed in a strategic planning process that challenged its mission and future structure. She turned what could have been a very difficult process into a positive, prospective exercise in aligning my strengths with the future direction that the organization needed to go. I was energized by the experience and found her executive coaching to be insightful, focused and extremely beneficial to my leadership style. The NEASC Board and I were very appreciative of her service and won’t hesitate to utilize her services in the future for similar assignments. I recommend her executive coaching support wholeheartedly and would be happy to discuss her work in greater detail if asked.

Cam Staples

President/CEO New England Association of Schools and Colleges (“NEASC”)

Beth greatly helped me work to better understand our business values, re-establish our team goals, and sharpen our business direction at a valuable turning point for our company. The patience, personal experiences, and thoughtful direction she brought to every meeting made me feel empowered and provided me with skills to better grow our business. Not only was her meeting time valuable, but she provided follow-up, recaps of our meetings, and information relative to my industry. I will be continuing our journey!

I can’t recommend Masterman Executive Coaching enough. Beth Masterman recently assisted me in preparing for an interview as part of a federal judicial nomination process. She was remarkably keen and insightful as to how I should conduct myself in the interview and assisted me in preparing for my opening remarks as well as responses. She gave me the confidence to be myself and accentuate my strengths during a rigorous interview process. I attribute my success in the interview process, and importantly, my enjoyment of the process, to Beth’s guidance and support.

The experience I had working with Beth Masterman as my executive coach was profound enough that I gained a genuine appreciation of her talents and abilities and wanted to share my experience with others. Beth’s unique ability to recognize, understand and relate complex business relationships through the use of targeted exercises was refreshing and at times difficult. But, the work we did together resulted in a significant shift in how I defined success in my workplace and at home. Beth was skillfully adept at helping me focus on what I needed to accomplish during our time together. I gained tremendous value and benefit from the work we did and would recommend Beth’s services to anyone looking to elevate their level of thinking and leading in the workplace. She helped me to rediscover who I am, why I work, and helped me develop a path to bring those two things back together again. Thank you Beth!

Kristine Lesso

SSP, Senior Director Environmental Health and Safety at Jabil

With over 25 years of public higher education administration experience behind me I thought I knew my professional self fairly well…and then I underwent a 360-Assessment and discovered so much more. Through sensitive yet deliberate coaching, Beth helped me examine my “work self” and understand not only those traits that need work, but also those that I took for granted but were actually very special and highly valued. If you are lucky enough to be offered an opportunity for executive coaching, you would be fortunate to work under Beth’s guidance.

Dr. Amie Marks Goodwin

Interim Provost and Academic Vice President (Retired), Salem State University

The biggest impact Beth has had on my professional development is to heighten my self-awareness as I navigate through my day. I am much more focused on what I want to accomplish, why and how as I face each task. It has made me more efficient but more importantly, more effective. Beth was persistent in holding me accountable based on our previous sessions. She never let me get away with a short answer and pushed me to elaborate and drill deeper on the issue. This made our process far more valuable and meaningful for me. I admire Beth’s easy-going style along with her honesty and commitment. She was equally committed to my success as I was and that made me want to work harder.

Beth Masterman gets my highest recommendation as an executive coach and mentor. Her remarkable ability to diagnose and comprehend complex workplace environments has transformed my thinking and heightened my self-awareness. Working with Beth has been an extremely positive experience for me; she opened my eyes to things that previously were not in my line of sight, helped me gain greater mastery over my emotions, educated me on how to influence other’s perceptions, and greatly improved my leadership skills. The ability to discuss specific situations with a trusted third party and receive pertinent, genuine feedback that is sensitive and purposeful has been invaluable to me. I enthusiastically endorse Beth Masterman for your executive coaching needs; she is a great mentor and is committed to helping you achieve your goals.
