We work with both senior Executives and
middle managers within Fortune 500 firms. We help Executives
focus on techniques to increase their success in their current
role, and prepare for the next level. As a result, our clients
overcome “challenges” more easily. We do this through
coaching them individually and by working with their teams as
consultants.
While our clients often come from highly technical
roles in many industries and functions, they have one thing in common:
they are dissatisfied with their current level of success and know
that they and their organization can do better.
If you’re like many of
our CLIENTS, you might be facing
one of these kinds of issues:
|
•
|
You’re
a functional expert (proficient
in Sales, Marketing, Finance, IT,
etc.) where you relied on your
technical capabilities to drive
your success. As you move into
leadership positions, those capabilities
no longer carry you further. |
|
•
|
You’re
no longer an individual contributor
and now need to get work done through
others. You need to build a team
but your comfort is in doing it
all yourself. |
|
•
|
You
were promoted or hired, want to succeed in your new role, and
need some support to stretch into the role. |
|
•
|
You
may be in a position where you
need to influence people more than
before and you find yourself frustrated
because the usual techniques don’t get the results expected. Formal power
doesn’t exist or work any
longer. |
|
•
|
You
drifted into a leadership role, feel mismatched or unprepared |
|
•
|
You
attained a certain level of success as a Manager or Executive
and believe you are at a plateau. |
Our clients
come to us for many reasons, but most because they want to be more
successful in overcoming challenges. Some clients come to
coaching because they are technologically talented but not as well
developed in interpersonal skills. Some don’t communicate well
with their people or have difficulty “empowering” them,
getting them engaged and productive. Others come to coaching because
they need to move to a less directive leadership style. Others still
find leading at the top to be lonely and find benefit in a sounding
board for their strategies or in preparing for those difficult conversations.
Is Executive Coaching for you?
We find that the clients who succeed
the most have these tendencies:
|
•
|
They
have aspirations that motivate them and are committed to work
to make it happen. |
|
•
|
They
are willing to be brutally honest
with themselves and the coach,
even when it’s uncomfortable. |
|
•
|
They
realize that if they want different results they need to do
things differently. |
|
•
|
They
are willing to see how they contribute to a situation and are
open to choosing an alternate response. |
|
•
|
They
are open to learning a better way – often
coming from within themselves. |
In short,
if you don’t have these characteristics you probably won’t
reach your goal with coaching. Anything
important is worth working towards. You need to be committed to
your goal – and to doing the work required to get there.
To rephrase
a bit folk humor:
How many coaches does it take to
change a light bulb?
One, if the light bulb WANTS to change.
The same applies to successful clients.
We can provide some tools and steps; however the client supplies
the motivation to do the work.
Clients won’t
be successful with us if they:
|
•
|
Complain about their
current situation but are not motivated to change |
|
•
|
Feel forced into
coaching without seeing the reason themselves |
|
•
|
Cannot be honest
with themselves and the coach |
|
•
|
Lack the commitment
of time, money, and follow through with actions |
We’re
about coaching for excellence and not about coaching for mediocrity.
If you have that inspiration for another level of success
and want additional tools for new challenges, we can help.
