About Bob Bates

At the center of every innovation or technology breakthrough sit leaders and teams striving to build something remarkable from the impossible. Whether they’re launching a global product, creating a strategic partnership, or building infrastructure that impacts millions of people worldwide, today’s leaders face opportunities, an ever-increasing pace, and pressure to scale alongside their own self-limiting beliefs. That’s where I come in. As a Silicon Valley-based executive coach, I’ve been privileged to help leaders find agility, presence, and resilience in a way that lets them step into a new level of leadership and performance. Prior to coaching, I sat in your chair. I know what it’s like to hold P&L accountability, launch products, and direct initiatives that scale for start-up environments and global enterprise. My clients typically fall into two categories:(1) the highly competent executive who needs to find their voice, and (2) the driven leader who needs to smooth out their edges and lead in a new way. In our work together, insights and measurable outcomes emerge that directly influence individual performance. In turn, those new leadership behaviors impact company growth, productivity, employee engagement and retention. It’s time to redefine courageous leadership. Courageous leadership starts with managing energy, embodying strengths, and owning your story without being owned by it. In our coaching engagement, I literally move you into action. Working with me is an integrated mind and body experience, derived from thought leadership in sports psychology, human performance, mindfulness and martial arts.
