Executive Coaching
What process serves as a reality check on your performance? Who on your staff is willing to give you candid feedback about your leadership style, communications skills, or other behaviors critical to your ongoing success?
Most executives don't have someone who readily challenges their thinking or encourages them to stretch. Yet, these are the very activities that help executives continue to grow and attain more effective performance results.
The executive coaching engagement is tailored to meet the specific goals and needs of the individual, including some key developmental areas of interest to most executives:
- Leadership Agenda, Strategy and Execution
- Personal Leadership Effectiveness; Creating Impact
- Identifying and Leveraging Your Strengths
- Creating an Environment of Accountability
- Developing an Internal Network of Critical Collaborators for Career Success

The Executive Coaching Process
|
|
The coaching process begins with an initial session to acquaint the executive and the coach with each other. The foundation of any successful coaching relationship begins with mutual trust, which enables open and honest communication between both parties.
This meeting also allows time for the executive to brief the coach on his or her current situation, along with their professional background and experience. There will also be discussion around current challenges, barriers to success, opportunities and goals to be met.
Following this conversation, the coach will develop and discuss with the executive, the process they will use to address identified coaching goals and objectives. The final plan will be defined by both the coach and the executive, and may include assessments and other development initiatives.
The coach and the executive will come to terms of agreement around frequency of contact, mutual accountability, confidentiality and expectations. The executive is an active partner in the coaching process, and will work with the coach to achieve desired outcomes.
