Coaching Philosophy
Clarify
• My major role is to help you clarify your most important goals as a business leader and accelerate your ability to achieve these outcomes for yourself and for the company.
• I believe that great leaders operate from both their heads and their hearts. Consequently, we begin with what’s important to you – what you most care about – and the outcomes that you want from two perspectives: 1) Contribution to your organization and 2) Personal fulfillment/legacy.

Commit• The key to successful change is commitment. It is my responsibility to help you identify outcomes that are more important to you than your current state.
• It is also my responsibility to challenge you if I observe breakdowns in commitment. |
Change• I operate as a catalyst and sounding board to help you move into areas of discomfort. You do the hard work of executing targeted changes.
• During the engagement, we will address three critical areas of change that have been identified through research: Awareness, Planning/Commitment, and Action. • We will focus on leveraging your current strengths, building new strengths, and addressing improvement needs. In the final analysis, your strengths are the foundation through which you demonstrate your distinctiveness as a leader. • To make sustainable changes, we often need to shift ingrained habits or beliefs that are holding us back. As applicable, we will work together to identify a few simple work and personal practices that can help you build the “muscles” for navigating stress and achieving maximum effectiveness. |
Process and Results• When we create an action plan, we will identify desired quantitative results, if possible, as well as qualitative indicators of success.
• If the process is effective, I will help you achieve your goals in a faster timeframe than you would have without a coach (hard to measure specifically, yet time and focus are ways in which a coach often adds value). • Throughout the process, I will share, as appropriate, various tools with you to help you move forward. In that regard, I will draw upon my experiences as a corporate officer and entrepreneur plus leadership tools that I have either personally developed or gathered from various seminars, programs, and reading. |
