Executive Coaching

How often are you pulled away from what your truly want to focus on improving financial results, innovative product development, fighting fires, resolving conflicts and improved customer satisfaction.  Today’s executive’s energy is pulled in many directions at once with more and more demands piled on daily, it seems.

No matter where you turn there is an article or some allusion to Executive coaching and its many benefits.  But, still you must ask yourself do I really need coaching? How can a coach help my business anyway? Besides, do I have the time for it, anyway?

The workplace is changing to a 24/7 with number of white collar employees telecommuting on the rise, we continue to globalize, markets are changing, the political climate is in flux, long term planning has in many cases been replaced by near term planning 3 to 5 years and in rare cases, 10 years. 

Each trend demands new changes in the workplace to at worse maintain status quo and at best leverage the changes to increased market share and profits.  One person can no longer sit at the top of an organization with a full knowledge of what is happening inside the company and out in order to effectively plan and make qualified, knowledge based decisions. The amount of information available in itself is staggering.  New skills in quickly involving others, emotional intelligence, cross functional strategic planning, inspiring other to follow your clear vision of the where you want to go are just a few of the many new skills needed. 

These skills are a sure asset from a business perspective and yield significant results for executives, but who has time to take the training necessary? It is far more effective to work in real-time with a coach to work through issues as they arise and develop a clear-cut plan of action that relates specifically to your needs.

Reaching an executive level does not mean that you have to stop living your life outside of work. The holistic approach to coaching helps you find balance in your whole life. When was the last time you felt balanced and complete?  Are you feeling satisfied in all aspects of your life?  Coaching is not just about having support and a confidant to discuss ideas, but helping you find your true self—bringing balance into your life, making choices about what you really want in your life and your business, aligning your values, developing a plan and having the support it takes to reach your goals.

At1-Focus each executive coaching program is individually developed in conjunction with the leader.  The right match between coach and the executive is identified and suggested.  How does this process work? Most of the coach’s time is spent listening to what is being said and not being said, then asking “powerful questions”.  (Powerful questions, are often quite simple, yet help produce much insight.) The coaching relationship is one based on trust, which strengthens over time. 

It is hard to predict what the outcome may be.  However, more and more firms are employing executive coaches to provide the support that executive team needs to be more effective and they are receiving high return on investment.  It is work—working smarter and self-learning-- with high stakes and payoff!!
