EXECUTIVE COACHING

Achieve Sustainable Change

Today’s world calls for new models of leadership, and a development process for leaders to implement their own innate, unique approach to leadership, the one that produces results in current business conditions.

Barbara Osterman, an experienced executive coach, provides a sounding board to leaders looking to make dramatic and sustainable improvements in their work environments, in their business relationships and in their personal lives.

What to Expect

• Executive coaching is a business relationship between an internal executive and an external advisor. The purpose of the Executive Coach is to clarify the executive’s highest priority business outcomes and work with this individual over a defined period of time to significantly improve results in these desired outcomes.
• The benefit? Improved business results, through increased clarity, focus and sustained effort on the few outcomes that matter most to the organization.

Expect:

• Focus on Results.
  The focus of the work is current, active issues; what is learned is applied to the most pressing problems, accelerating progress toward improved results.
• Deep listening.
  The process is focusing, first on oneself, then to others, in deep and attentive ways. As David White has said, “The conversation is not about the work, the conversation is the work.”
• Regularly scheduled conversations.
  Specific goals for coaching are established We prioritize actions to address the largest gaps between today and the goals and then design and implement a strategy to achieve the goals.
• Assessment tools.
  Profile tools are powerful in objectively assessing talents and capabilities, in identifying areas of strength and areas for development and insights into our behaviors and how others may view them.

Are You Ready for an Executive Coach?

• Are you an executive who sees that the traditional approaches no longer yield the expected results, that you are literally at the end of what you’ve known how to do?
• Are you an executive receptive to exploring new ground (which you are definitely on) and uncovering the essentials of leading in this business environment?
• Are you an executive under pressure to produce increasingly challenging results?

Executive coaching is for top-performers, who have a desire for something more, and are willing to work with an outside advisor to achieve their desired business outcomes.
