Coaching—The Bridge to Your Vision
We help you focus on what's important to you and your business. If you've been struggling with how to attain your personal or organizational vision and want to overcome what's really standing in your way, we can guide you through the process. We'll help to clarify the core issues and target strategies for resolution. We'll show you ways to reinforce current strengths and help you learn new skills that advance your goals. Our specialized method of courageous coaching becomes the bridge that links your vision to new-found confidence and improved leadership skills. With a trusted coach at your side, you can achieve competitive advantage. However, to emerge a winner, you must first go deep and be courageous.
Coaching Style
We offer customized one-on-one coaching sessions that are designed around your specific areas for leadership development. This process is all about you, so we begin our sessions with a focused conversation to determine the most important concern you have right now about your job or business. At the moment, it could be big or small. It doesn't matter. What matters is that it matters to you!
Once we isolate the issue, we drill down further to understand the extent of the problem and contributing factors. As we go deeper, we address alternatives for resolution. Finally, we gain commitment from you to take the necessary next steps toward resolution and then follow up on your progress, helping you along the way. While we are always your advocate, we will never let you off the hook! Be prepared for continuous questioning as we seek to understand and help you discover solutions.
Our process is very effective. We find that once a client shines the light on the real problem, truly clarifying it, he or she is on the road to reaching resolution. We often hear clients say that they experience a shift—either mental or physical—after a courageous coaching session and describe it as a "freeing feeling." This shift arises from no longer feeling "stuck" because they've moved forward toward resolution. Identifying the root cause of a problem is often the hardest part. You'll learn why, when you experience the process.
Coaching Techniques
Our most powerful technique is the use of courageous conversation. However, as part of the discovery process, we may employ a variety methods to learn more about you. This may include:
Interviewing others in your sphere of influence
Deploying a 360 feedback assessment
Observing you conducting business meetings, interviews, or presentations
Having you complete a series of self-assessments
Coaching Options
We offer a variety of coaching packages, based on your need. We offer 8, 12 and 16 week packages. Our typical engagement is 12 weeks. Generally, we accomplish your critical areas of concern in that period of time. During this time we will meet with you every week for one hour, usually by phone, unless you are local. Our first session, however, is always two hours. If coaching is desired beyond the agreed upon period, we can extend your weekly sessions or arrange for monthly telephone conversations.
