Many of the world’s most admired corporations, from GE to Goldman Sachs, invest in coaching. IBM has more than 60 certified coaches among its ranks. Annual spending on coaching in the U.S. is an estimated $1 billion.
Coaching is an opportunity to engage in constructive and focused dialogue with a skilled and objective listener. Executives and healthcare leaders benefit from a trusted coach for support and guidance when dealing with complex challenges and help in creating new ways of thinking. Honest feedback and affirming encouragement are some of the greatest gifts a leader can have.
Leadership coaching brings focus and clarity to the challenge and reveals the strengths and skills that need to be developed. As a result, the solution can become obvious, and then coach and client can work together to develop a plan of action to achieve that “better version” of the leader. Coaching enables new perspectives that lead to new behaviors, improved performance and expanded results.
Executive leadership coaching engagements are designed to provide focus that can deepen awareness and support growth. I work with successful executives, leaders and managers to help shift thinking to access new perspectives about themselves, others, their organization, and the world. Most clients discover that they already have the necessary internal resources to accomplish desired results and change.
Individuals and organizations engage me as an executive coach to provide the focus that supports change, growth and results in some of the following areas of challenge and opportunity:
- Executive and Leadership Development
- Strategic Planning and Influence
- Interpersonal Communication and Team Engagement
- Delegation and Organizational Effectiveness
- Personal Productivity and Effectiveness
- Career Development and Transition
The stigma of “You’re broken, you need a coach” has now become “You’re so valuable, you need a coach!” For more information about executive leadership coaching, please contact me.
