Executive Coaching

A Pragmatic, Results Oriented Program for Executives

GOAL

The purpose of the program is to provide individual development to executives with high potential. Coaching is provided in three general areas, tailored to the needs of the individual. These areas include organization strategy and alignment, management and leadership, and influencing/conflict resolution skills.

PROCESS

1. Discussion of development needs
2. Creation of development plan – the development plan can be formulated by a discussion with the executive, executive’s superior, staff and associates or by using executive assessment instruments provided by a licensed industrial / organizational psychologist
3. Individual coaching sessions with the executive for up to one year
4. Update meetings with the executive and executive’s superior to chart progress and discuss plan modifications

RESULTS

Realistic expectations include an alignment in the executive’s ability to:

• Recognize the impact of their style in achieving the results they desire
• Manage conflict and build greater organization support for their mission
• Direct and lead a team whether it be direct reports or significant project group
• Influence key organization players
• Recognize and effectively deal with resistance to organization change
• Successfully manage stress
• Set and meet high business goals

KEY SUCCESS FACTORS:

There are four crucial factors that make or break an executive coaching effort

They Include:

• A development plan which is behaviorally based and on target
• The training ability, organization awareness, and process skills of the coach
• An internal mentor who is in a position to observe the client’s progress, committed to that person’s success, and willing to provide feedback
• A willing client who is committed to developing beyond their previous level of functioning

All of our clients ultimately accelerate their executive development. The only question is how quickly will they evolve, and how committed they are to the effort
