Sydney Rice-Harrild has been supporting
organizations and individuals as an executive coach, change
consultant, facilitator, and trainer for the past 25 years.
In 1987, before the word “coaching” became part
of the business vocabulary, Ms. Rice-Harrild had the foresight to
found a coaching company focused exclusively on optimizing
the professional development and effectiveness of managers
and leaders. Her venture has evolved and is now called The
Boston Coaching Company. Ms. Rice-Harrild is the president.
Ms. Rice-Harrild studied systems theory and adult learning
theory for her master’s degree in education from Cambridge
College in Massachusetts. Systems theory is the foundation
for a number of proprietary processes and products she has
developed to support the emerging field of executive coaching.
In 1995, she created the first iteration of her PaperRoom™
program, which is a powerful discovery method that explores
the personal history, assumptions, values, and barriers of
managers and executives. She has delivered the PaperRoom for
over 800 clients individually, and expanded it into a workshop
for Time Inc, which she led for four years to rave reviews.
In 2003, her book about how to make the right professional
choices, Choice Point: Navigate your Career using the
Unique PaperRoom Process, was published by Davies-Black.
In 2003 she also opened her first course to license the PaperRoom
System to people in the helping professions.
Ms. Rice-Harrild also created the Partnership PACT™
in 1988, a collaborative coaching and mentoring model for
groups and individuals seeking to embrace new knowledge while
retaining old wisdom.
Ms.
Rice-Harrild is currently writing It’s About Time:
Crossing the Gap Between Life’s Second and Third Quarters.
Based on her experience—and that of her clients—that
life before age 50 is just “homework for what you’re
really going to do when you grow up,” the book provides
guidance to those who want to make life and career changes
but are unclear about what they want to do and what steps
to take to create lasting change.
Before she was a coach, Ms. Rice-Harrild held management positions
in the services industry, where she learned first-hand about
the challenges and pressures faced by managers.
