Service Descriptions
“Your ability to help me dive into my “less than
obvious” needs and abilities helped me not only to make a decision, but to
understand over time what I stand to gain from making the harder choices I
face.”
John N, Senior Vice President
Executive Coaching provides the executive with a confidential, supportive forum
in which to examine the options available and to decide on courses of action
that will bring about the outcomes they want. The coach is a sounding board,
catalyst and partner, providing space for exploration of the best course of
action from the executive’s perspective.
The Executive Summit of the International Coaches Federation defines executive
coaching as a facilitative one-to-one mutually designed relationship between a
professional coach and a key contributor who has a powerful position in the
organization. The focus of the coaching is usually upon organizational
performance or development, but may have a personal component as well.
The coaching process creates space in the executive’s week to think
strategically and create a vision and action plans to achieve outstanding
results both for the organization and for themselves as leaders. As such,
Executive Coaching then is both a process of leadership development and of
organizational development. The impact of coaching the executive has a ripple
effect on the whole organization.
The executive as a coaching client focuses on the business results they need at
this time, the team behaviours needed to accomplish the results, the leadership
challenges they’re facing in enhancing team and individual actions toward high
performance and their own presence and balance.
Executive coaching typically includes 360 feedback and other assessment
instruments to set a base line for growth and a measure of success ensuring that
the outcomes are not only observable but also measurable.
Personal Outcomes may include improved:
Leadership Style
Decision Making
Time Management
Delegation
Team Leadership
Emotional Intelligence
Organizational Outcomes may include improved:
Collaboration
Efficiency/Productivity
Goal alignment
Business Planning
Succession Planning and Employee Development
Profit management
Clients achieve greater results in a shorter period of time as a result of the
coaching relationship.

"Coming together is a beginning, staying together is
progress, and working together is success." - Henry Ford
Many Executive teams do not function as a team. They are often a collection of
successful individual performers with functional responsibility and an interest
in either maintaining or gaining recognition from the CEO and others within the
organization. Sometimes this recognition is sought at the expense of other
departments and even at the expense of the overall success of the company.
The team may be characterized by a lack of trust, competition and in some cases
infighting rather than collaboration and synergy.
The foundational practices as well as the skills required to create effective
teams are missing or have not been established with the team as a whole.
An executive team coach works with the CEO and the members of the Executive team
to identify areas in which this group of individuals needs to develop effective
team practices that will create synergy and provide a role model to the rest of
the organization.
Initially the team coach meets with the CEO and attends the executive team
meetings to assess the strengths and areas in which the team can improve. The
coach’s work with the team may involve off site workshops and individual team
member coaching to help the team develop the skills and team culture required to
effectively lead the organization.
The coach conducts assessments, observes the behaviour of all members of the
team as they interact and provides feedback, information, exercises, and
coaching to develop the skills and behaviours necessary to function as a high
performing team.
Effective functioning of the Executive Team sets an example for all other teams
in the organization. The members of the executive team are also team leaders
within their departments and may be team leaders of cross functional teams
required to produce business results. What they learn through the coaching of
the executive team will cascade to the other teams in the company.

"Coaches are everywhere these days. Companies hire them to shore up executives or, in some cases, to ship them out. Division heads hire them as change agents. Workers at all levels of the corporate ladder, fed up with a lack of advice from inside the company, are taking matters into their own hands and enlisting coaches for guidance on how to improve
their performance, boost their profits, and make better decisions about everything from personnel to strategy."
--Fortune, May 21, 2000
