The BIG Acts’ difference:

* Leadership coaches and consultants with direct experience as impact entrepreneurs, non-profit leaders, and operations professionals
* Principals with 60+ years’ cumulative experience working at the forefront of the positive environmental and social impact space.
* Deep experience in human behavior and motivation helping to ensure stakeholders find meaning in strategy and implementation.
* Experienced strategists focused on solutions that build social, environmental, brand, and business value.
* Lead with a coaching approach to amplify the positive combination of external perspective and internal expertise.

Additionally, for all coaching-connected services delivered by Becca:

* Use play: using session as time to do important work AND have some fun while doing it.
* Use thought starters: as a voracious reader, I love to discover new ideas based on evidence and research that I can offer to my clients as part of our experimentation.
* Are goal- and data-based: goals direct our coaching focus; data informs our approach and helps us track results, even in one session!

I walk the walk:

* Like other really good coaches, Becca has a reflective practice and is continually working on something centered in the Inner Development Goals with mentors and accountability partners.
* Like other soulful practitioners and Plentiful community members, Becca is a believer and doer committed to improving her own holistic health!
