One of the main reasons an executive hires a coach is because the coach has a proven, proprietary methodology that gets results and addresses their most pressing issues. Unfortunately, most coaches don’t have a proprietary methodology, or even know what one is. They just ask open ended questions in the hopes that the client has some sort of sudden insight. By being certified by The Center for Executive Coaching, we give you a powerful methodology that is an efficient path to results. Our program has no fluff. We give you ways to assess your situation, understand gaps between where you are and where you want to go, and develop a clear path to getting results — results worth five to ten times our fees! We practice what we call “nowhere to hide coaching” – our clients are willing to look in the mirror and face the real issues. We know what executives expect, and we know that other programs fall short. We will engage you with concepts including the executive dashboard, career development planning, setting strategic direction, engaging and mobilizing employees, building one’s powerbase of relationships, understanding the politics of making things happen, managing up, collaborating effectively, influencing conversations with impact, having conversations to move things forward to results, thinking comprehensively about complex issues, communicating with impact, understanding the behaviors and attitudes of the leader, identifying and reframing limiting beliefs that hold executives back, and eliminating behavioral blind spots that can derail your career.
Some coaching programs focus only on behaviors, while others only deal with one’s internal state and way of being. Our program takes a comprehensive view of the client and of human performance. We start with perceptions, behaviors, and overall ways of being. Then we focus on the client’s relationships, key decisions, strategic issues, organizational culture, and even any distractions outside of work that might have an impact on their performance. We create a high-impact coaching plan based on each client’s unique situation and goals.
