About Edward Newby:
Conventional coaching wisdom says beware of a coach that says they can coach everybody. Conventional coaching bias leads people to believe that only "experts" in their topic can coach.
That's why I became a strength-based Co-Active coach. By using powerful questions, global listening skills, and the strength-based framework, our dynamic coaching duo can't be boxed in, contained, and confined to the topic. The topic is a springboard, the jump-off point, or the first step our transformative journey. By putting you first, and not the topic, we are free to explore the connections and inflection points that define you as a whole person. We are able to dig through the superficial layers to get at the real issue at hand. We are able to develop strategies and accountabilities that are required to evoke transformation.
I push the boundaries of conventional coaching bias. You see, I served as a commissioned officer in the United States Navy for 22-years. I served at multiple levels of leadership over the course of my 23-year career. I spent seven of those 23-years in senior leadership roles that culminated with my service as the Commanding Officer of a Navy shore facility, where I led a total of 242 service members, junior and senior enlisted leader, commissioned officers, and Department of Navy Civilians.
As a Navy Officer, I have had the honor and the burden of leading and serving citizens (people)- our most precious resource and treasure, from all over these United States of America. I didn't have the luxury to pick a niche of sailors. I had to connect and relate to service members from different regions, different military branches, different naval communities; and different races, ethnic groups, religions, and sexual orientation in order to effectively coach, counsel, evaluate, lead, manage, and mentor them. Diversity and cultural competence weren't a luxuries. They were necessary skills that I developed to effectively lead and influence. I had to meet people where they were.
I have participated, planned, and lead global operations in the Arabian Gulf and Indo-Pacific regions. I have lived in India and Japan, and worked in the Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia. I collaborated with senior military officers and peers of regional allies and partners; and business leaders from major defense contractors. I have conducted more than 900 instances of personnel counseling, coaching, mentoring, and performance evaluations over the course of my Navy career beginning in 1996. Because of my unique and diverse experiences, perspective, and strengths; I am confident of my ability to coach anyone, everywhere.
