The Growth Coach

What is Executive Coaching?

An executive coach is a one-on-one thinking partner for leaders with a big agenda, demanding schedule, and complex decisions to make. Your coach is an objective outsider who asks good questions, listens intently, challenges powerfully, and advises selectively.

Coaching is an effective tool for:

Developing leadership and organizational skills
Thinking through strategies
Improving your ability to trust and commit to action
Staying on track while you deal with what comes up in the moment
Identifying obstacles that prevent you from reaching your goals
Developing a vision of where you want to be
Making lasting change in the way you work or live
Improving the quality of your relationships with colleagues
Increasing your focus

As an executive, top manager or COO do you ever catch yourself feeling or thinking:

I'm not as effective as I could be?
I feel overwhelmed by low-value "stuff"?
I want more free time to spend on things that matter most to me?
I am working like an employee instead of leading like a manager?

If so, you are in very good company!

Many executives are trapped working harder and harder but on the wrong type of tasks. As a result, their personal and business lives may become complex, cloudy and confusing - they start to lose focus, miss opportunities, adopt bad habits, underutilize their talents, get in comfort zones, etc. Their frustration level goes up and their personal freedom goes down. Does any of this sound like you?

What Roles Does the Coach Play?

We get clients to do less of the wrong type of work and more of the right type of work (i.e., strategic, high-value activities).

How is Coaching Different From ...

Coaching is more than consulting. Like consultants, coaches also share information and give advice. Coaches also make requests versus just giving recommendations. An executive coach pays attention to both the person and the results.

Coaching is different than talking with a friend or peer. Friends don't generally have the perspective or advanced competencies to develop others. Peers have a vested interest in the political status quo; they are unlikely to insist on results.

Coaching can be intensely personal, but it is not therapy. Coaching is about achievement; therapy is about healing. Therapy moves a person from dysfunctional to functional. Coaching moves an executive from functional to extraordinary.
