WORKING WITH A COACH

Engaging an executive coach can be a transformative step in your professional career. Whether you’re leading an organization, navigating the transition into consulting, or aiming to scale your business, our coaching approach is tailored to meet the unique challenges professionals face. It’s not easy – you’ll be challenged in ways you may have never been before. And you’ll soon discover that realizing your potential more than makes up for the hard work involved.

WHAT TO EXPECT

A coaching conversation is a discussion between peers. Your coach is available to guide and encourage you toward the top of your game. Expect a collaborative partnership where we delve into your consulting experiences, identify areas for growth, and develop strategies to enhance your impact. Our sessions will focus on real-world scenarios, enabling you to apply insights directly to your work as a professional.

OUR COACHING PROCESS

We begin our work together with an explicit understanding of our mutual commitments, perceived obstacles, and desired outcomes. Our Vision Exercise provides critical inputs to clarify your professional goals, initiatives, and success measures. Our objective is to help you to think critically, realize the power of existing strengths, and adopt new behaviors that support goal achievement.

Next, we typically administer two primary assessments. The first, the VIA Character Strengths Survey, helps you to discover those values that, when properly aligned with your work, promote greater engagement and productivity. The second, a 360-degree Verbal Assessment, solicits input to learn about how clients and colleagues perceive you in your consulting role.

Continuing coaching sessions traverse a variety of paths driven by specific challenges and objectives. Each session begins with a client-set agenda with the goal of maximizing the value of our time spent together. Periodic progress checks, typically conducted with decreasing frequency as we approach a desired outcome, are used to promote accountability and encourage continuing progress toward professional growth.

Approximately three months after the initial engagement, we reconvene to discuss victories, disappointments and changes made as a result of working together. At this point, we often explore additional outcomes to be attained through self-directed work or follow-up coaching sessions.
