Executive Coaching

"You really understand human and business psychology.......It is amazing how many folks do not 'walk the talk'-----it is very easy to fall into the trap of focusing on current issues (challenges, problems, etc) instead of taking a long term view of building people and the business... Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me... You were a good source of knowledge and inspiration.”

Jeff Rein, former CEO, Walgreen Co.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Executive Coaching?

It's a high impact process that empowers business leaders to better understand their challenges and use their strengths to find solutions, so that they can grow as leaders and grow their businesses.

Coaching is practical and results oriented. Coaches help their clients by:

Serving as a trusted adviser who supports the leader in developing strategies to solve his or her own problems and ultimately achieving peak performance.

Providing structured and focused conversations (and sometimes role playing) to help them improve their job performance.

Helping the leader manage stress, feel more self-confident, and improve effectiveness of leadership skills.

Holding the client accountable for taking actions necessary to reach his or her own chosen goals.

Who can benefit from executive coaching?

What does coaching look like? What might take place in a typical productive session?

Is coaching confidential? Will my company know what takes place in our sessions?

In most cases, coaching sessions are completely confidential. We do ask your colleagues and other stakeholders to provide feedback on your progress, but we do not reveal anything you ask us to keep confidential. A possible exception to this can occur in certain cases when your company is paying for the coaching. Your company may have a policy requiring that certain general details be provided upon request (such as whether you are attending all the sessions and making good use of them). If your company will be paying for your sessions, we can help you determine what, if anything, must be disclosed.

How long does coaching take to work?

This is really determined by the individual needs of the client. Some clients have used just one powerful session to achieve a major change in their mindset and to make a plan for substantial behavior change. Other clients have engaged for years to achieve and sustain an evolving set of personal and professional goals. Then there is every possible theme and variation in between these extremes. The typical coaching engagement lasts for 3 to 6 months and is shaped by well-defined goals and benchmarks for success, with the option for occasional follow up coaching after the initial engagement ends. The frequency of sessions can vary from once a week to once a month. Session length is usually 1 hour, but can vary depending on the client’s wishes and needs. The bottom line is that there are some rough and ready guidelines for what makes an effective coaching engagement, and there is an enormous amount of flexibility so that each client experiences from coaching exactly what he or she needs as an individual.
