Why Work With An Executive Coach?

Take a moment, right now. What do you want to make happen in the next few months or years? Achieve more in your current role, grow your business, get promoted, hire a more fabulous team and lead them better, build your network and industry visibility, influence your peers and build a stronger leadership team, go through your week with more energy and less stress?

With executive coaching, you give yourself the benefit of confidential conversations focused completely on you. We consider your business context, your goals, and your actions to achieve those goals.

Typical roles for our executive coaching clients include CEO, CTO, CFO Chief Marketing Officer, Chief Medical Officer, CHRO, COO, Managing Director, Executive Director, Regional SVP, VP-R&D, and VP-Strategy, as well as occasional emerging leaders identified as super high-potential. These leaders work with us when they step up to a new role, drive their organizations through complex change, or realize they’re ready to lead even more effectively.

Six Month Coaching Program

Our 6-month coaching program can help you take your leadership to the next level. Here’s one example—all programs are custom designed based on your individual needs:

  • Initial depth session (2-3 hours in person) to clarify objectives and start actions.
  • (4-6) 30-minute stakeholder interviews by phone or in person.
  • Myers-Briggs Step II assessment, interpretation, and application to objectives.
  • Enneagram consultation and additional assessments as arranged.
  • (2) half-day “shadowing” and debrief (clients cite these sessions as especially powerful).
  • Written summary of feedback and implications for action.
  • Facilitated feedback/evaluation with executive leader at ~1 month and on completion.
  • (5) 90-minute in person coaching sessions.
  • Approximately (8) 30-60 minute phone or Skype coaching sessions.
  • Open access for brief calls or emailed questions.
  • Wrap session with guidelines for continuing learning.

Executive coaching works because we forge a powerful partnership. As the client, you drive the agenda, determine your objectives, explore your options, choose your next steps, and take action. As coaches, we offer observations, questions, methodologies, and tools to sharpen your observations, deepen your learning, and advance your action.

When you work with us, you draw more fully on your own wisdom. Additionally, our experience in leadership, executive on-boarding, change management, and a rich history of strategy consultation is available to you in our conversations. Our coaching is a custom learning experience designed specifically for you and your goals.
