Executive coaching is the ultimate personalized approach to helping you discover and achieve your unique goals. Coaching can help you develop in your current role, understand your leadership style and strengths, unlock your potential, shape your future performance, and improve your well-being, effectiveness, relationships, and impact.
The one-on-one coaching journey is personalized to your individual needs and human potential and focused on your important goals.
- Communicating with Impact – Understand and enhance your communication style to create engagement, effectively express ideas, and maximize your impact and influence in face-to-face and virtual settings.
- Leadership Agility – Develop your ability to effectively manage and lead organizational change, build diverse and inclusive teams, and navigate challenging business conversations.
- Executive Presence – Understand your leadership style, develop communication skills and confidence to inspire performance while effectively leading teams through change and uncertainty.
- Leading with Emotional Intelligence – At the core of emotional intelligence is self-awareness. You can work effectively with others only if you know yourself well and how you impact others. By learning how to leverage the power of emotional intelligence, you’ll be able to lead with empathy, enhance employee engagement and motivation, strengthen collaboration and increase performance.
- Managing Time, Overwhelm and Stress – Time is precious. Executives seem to be spending more and more time fighting fires and managing chaos instead of their priorities. Gain clarity around how you spend your time, prioritize and focus on what matters most, avoid burnout and accomplish your goals.
- Success in a New Role – Have you been promoted or accepted a position in a new organization? Set yourself up for success in a new role through navigating the transition, adapting to a new culture, and setting the tone for long-term success.
- Career Transition – Discover your strengths and motivators while rethinking your lifestyle. Take time to question, reflect, and explore options while learning how to leverage your powerbase to uncover what’s next.
- Managing Conflict – Tensions are often a natural occurrence within teams or among functions within an organization – frequently between business and scientific teams. Enhance your skills for effectively managing conflict and fostering collaboration.
- Building and Leading High-Performing Teams – Build a high-performing team with the right mix of talent and diversity. Discover how effective communication and emotional intelligence can help you build alignment, trust, and engagement.
Coaching for forward-thinking teams and organizations who want to create meaningful change and drive growth and innovation with extraordinary impact. Shape your organization’s performance, increase productivity, improve engagement, and relationships.
- Leadership Development – Research has found that many managers don’t receive formal leadership training until they have held a leadership role for nearly ten years. Investing early in personalized leadership development journeys pays off. It leads to more effective leaders and a ripple effect on positive organizational outcomes, including employee engagement and retention and improved team performance. We start with assessments tailored to your needs, which provide unbiased data and powerful insights to inform a personalized development journey.
- Succession Planning – Succession planning is an ongoing essential element of organizational planning and development. Organizations that implement better succession planning and talent development attract and retain better talent and maintain a higher valuation. Coaching for succession encompasses the entire talent development process, from competency assessment to identifying high potentials across the organization and creating customized development plans.
- Create a High-Performance Culture – Exceptional leaders recognize that the best work comes from teams who communicate well, are less stressed, and have fun while driving performance. Creating a high-performance culture requires commitment, courage, and introspection from the leadership team. Coaching provides a platform for learning, creativity, vulnerability, reflection, trust, growing self-awareness, and interpersonal communications. This helps unlock potential, build confidence and enhance team alignment, performance, and impact.
- Leading Change & Transformation – Coaching is a particularly effective platform for transformation and accelerating change. From assessing readiness to goal setting and anticipating setbacks and resistance, help your teams gain momentum, track progress and celebrate quick wins.
- Coaching during Mergers and Acquisitions – Achieve anticipated strategic, financial, and operational benefits while minimizing risk. Then set the tone for shaping a new organization by incorporating coaching into integration activities.
- Coach in Residence: This 12-month customized program is an opportunity to support your leaders and staff with development goals while creating a culture of coaching throughout organizations. This program consists of “office hours” and promotes space for thinking and psychological safety to ensure better outcomes, including connected, resilient, agile teams and higher productivity.
