Executive Coaching
for Responsible, Inspired Leadership
The Vice President of a firm became President when her predecessor stepped down. He had not developed a transition program, nor had he discussed his retirement with his employees. The new president wanted to develop her own authentic leadership style, help people accept the change gracefully, and develop her firm through strategic partnerships, acquisitions and new people. She wanted to improve human and technical infrastructures. Through coaching, she developed her personal leadership style based on her values, vision, emotional intelligence and business strengths. Today her firm is continuing their growth in a balanced way. The COO was burning out and feeling isolated. The last few years had been a roller coaster ride in the manufacturing industry. Through compassionate coaching, we re-clarified his life purpose and core values, restored his work-life balance and developed his emotional intelligence. We examined what was working and what needed working on in the business. He developed personal authenticity and improved his communications. We strengthened the executive team with group coaching so they could more effectively support one another. Today the COO and his peers are more resilient and able to navigate the company challenges successfully.
Today's leaders must steer their organizations through rapid change, huge cultural shifts, faster product or service cycles and greater market expectations.
They care about improving the bottom line and meeting stakeholder expectations.
Sometimes it feels lonely at the top.
Whether they are heads of major corporations, mid-sized businesses or social profit (nonprofit) organizations, educational institutions or public agencies, executives are challenged to find the resources and skills to perform at the top.
It is not enough to be intellectually intelligent and visionary.
Leaders must be socially responsible, emotionally intelligent, able to shift gears quickly and connect their vision to people - their employees, external customers, shareholders, volunteers, partners and the communities in which they do business or provide services around the world.
Coaching improves the bottom line by connecting mind, body and spirit for higher performance tied to strategic business initiatives and effective outcomes. It increases productivity, morale and retention by supporting people to creatively face workplace challenges.
Executives and managers tell us that a confidential, objective and attentive ear combined with caring feedback enables them to be more resilient, creative, innovative, resourceful and courageous. Compassionate coaching expands their emotional intelligence and enhances their leadership style.
Employees who work for executives and managers being coached benefit from the improved leadership skills of their bosses.
Executives who have been coached report that the ROI is at least 6 times the financial investment.
