Executive Coaching
As your career advances, does it seem as though no one really understands all that you must deal with? Where do you turn to think through your plans? Who can you trust as a confidant to bounce ideas off of?
Executive coaching is a professional and confidential relationship for brainstorming challenges and testing out new ideas. Your coach will help you discover and formulate creative solutions. Unlike consulting where someone presents you with their formulas and processes, we develop YOUR abilities and leverage YOUR strengths, so that you come away stronger and more capable.
The focus of Executive Coaching is on performance, leadership and whole-life issues that affect you in business. The maximum benefit emerges when used throughout an organization to improve capabilities rather than simply correct problems or put out fires.
What ROI can you expect from Executive Coaching? The effects of executive coaching permeate the organization from the top down, creating a more positive and satisfying environment that supports productivity. Specifically, studies conducted by MetrixGlobal LLC revealed that:
- Coaching produced a 529% return on investment, along with significant intangible benefits to businesses (e.g., improved morale, etc). When the financial benefits from employee retention were included, the overall return on investment jumped to 788%. (Source - Merrill C. Anderson, Ph.D. Executive Briefing: Case Study on the Return on Investment of Executive Coaching)
- Companies who have provided coaching to their executives have realized a 48% improvement in productivity, quality and organizational strength.
- Executives reported a 60% improvement in working relationships with direct reports and peers, teamwork, job satisfaction and conflict resolution.
Success is not a solitary journey.
Executive Coaching Options
Executive Coaching is delivered in a variety of customized formats to best meet the particular needs of your organization. These include:- 1:1 Coaching
- Employer Sponsored 1:1 Coaching
- Executive Team Coaching
- DiSC and other Assessments
- Leadership Training, including training in Coaching Skills for Managers
1:1 Coaching
You receive individualized attention in 1:1 Coaching that helps you envision and establish concrete, attainable, professional and personal goals. The confidentiality of 1:1 Coaching lets you explore new ideas and test new approaches within the context of a professional, supportive coaching relationship. Having experienced coaching yourself, you then become more effective in coaching your direct reports.
For many executives, coaching is the secret tool that helps keep them at their best, constantly honing their skills. You should experience tangible gains that leave no doubt as to the value of your investment in coaching. That’s why we evaluate progress regularly, and Tap the Potential offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee. In short, coaching more than pays for itself.
Invest in Your Key Personnel with Employer Sponsored 1:1 Coaching
Executive coaching is more intensive and effective than seminars, workshops and generic training. That’s why companies today often prefer to invest in 1:1 Coaching over these types of training. Many companies now use coaching to recruit and retain their top talent.
By investing in 1:1 executive coaching for your key employees, you demonstrate your commitment to their growth. You will leverage their strengths and maximize their value to your organization. Top performers are much more likely to remain with a company that invests in their personal and professional development.
However, the benefits extend well beyond select players in your organization. Not only does coaching enhance their performance, it raises the bar throughout your organization. Rather than pitting employees against each other, it creates a Coaching Atmosphere that spreads through your entire organization. Those participating in 1:1 Coaching integrate the coaching methods into their supervisory relationships. Soon, resilience, positive attitudes, collaboration, optimism and effective problem-solving reign!
Those who benefit most from coaching are individuals who are sincere in their desire to improve and who already have demonstrated their potential. Coaching is best for expanding capabilities and improving outcomes, rather than a remedial approach to performance issues.
Executive Team Coaching
Coaching with the Executive Team sets the tone for organizational success. When the entire Executive Team receives coaching, colleagues learn to support and challenge one another to rise to the next level. Cohesion develops as they come together collaboratively to solve problems effectively, take on bigger challenges, and leverage opportunities.
Executive Team Coaching may consist of 1:1 sessions with individuals and/or team coaching sessions. These sessions help establish priorities and foster creative, cooperative thinking. This approach often frees those at the top of the organization from running such sessions, allowing you to pull back, observe, think and participate more deeply. My extensive experience as a facilitator insures the productive use of time that all top performers appreciate.
DiSC and other Assessments with Training
DiSC training is used to enhance individual and team performance, as well as to improve workplace communication while reducing conflict. It utilizes a four quadrant model to examine the behavior of individuals in their environment or within a specific situation, based on:
- Dominance - relating to control, power and assertiveness
- Influence - relating to social situations and communication
- Steadiness - relating to patience, persistence, and thoughtfulness
- Conscientiousness - relating to structure and organization
Leadership Training
Leadership Training goes beyond traditional seminars where you get some good ideas and a snazzy binder to file on your bookshelf, never to be opened again. Leadership Training gets your executives and managers into action right away! It provides the support of Team and 1:1 Coaching to insure they use what they have learned to continuously hone and refine their leadership competencies. You will see positive results throughout your organization within a very short period of time!
