For the Executive

  • Do you understand your strongest executive competencies? Do you know which ones are in need of further development?
  • Can you leverage your competencies as an executive team member and leader?
  • Do you accept your weaknesses because you don't know how to change them or because you think they don't matter?
  • Are you in need of developing execution skills, skills that require observation, feedback and reflection?
  • Do you want to learn through real leadership experiences "on the playing field"?
  • Do you need the explicit encouragement, feedback, and support of an objective third party as you work to develop your executive presence?
  • Are you still relying on the functional perspective that got you where you are now?

What is Executive Coaching?

Coaching is partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.[1]

Why do it?

In working to improve the people side of business performance, maybe you have a tendency to focus on staffing and restructuring. However, the fact remains that the one employee with the most impact on your organization is you.

How does coaching work?

Executive coaching is based on a partnership between you, your executive coach, and your organization. The coaching relationship begins with an assessment of your leadership competencies. Most often, your coach obtains 360 degree feedback on your performance by interviewing all of the key people who work with you. Once you are presented with your feedback, you and your coach identify measurable development goals. Then, over a period of about a year, your coach works with you, through a series of structured one-on-one interactions, to analyze your behavior in on-the-job leadership situations, expand your perspective, develop new competencies and substantially improve your performance.
