Executive Coaching

Chances are that you have talented executives—and up-and-coming executives—who are confident, highly intelligent and have many strengths—but could get even better business results if they developed some new ways of thinking and behaving. Very often the improvement need is in how they work with others. And you feel the time for breakthrough personal development is now.

Perhaps they are:

Accountable for a big change—like turning around an organization, managing a merger, implementing a new strategy.

Taking on more challenging roles where they may over-rely on strengths versus developing a broader repertoire of behaviors.

Compromising results because they are not building strong enough working relationships.

Solution

According to a recent study coaching increased leadership productivity by 88% while training increased productivity by 22.4%

When it comes to learning leadership skills, all the best research points to the same conclusion—executives learn to lead from experience. It all comes down to “going to school on yourself.” Make a sound investment in developing these executives that is a much better alternative than packing them off to school (training).

Hire a coach who can help executives make real breakthroughs in developing their leadership skills while they pursue their business goals.

Our coaches are seasoned professionals who have worked in companies in executive roles and have many years of coaching experience. We have the credibility and business understanding to be accepted as trusted advisors in the executive's corner. But we also have the experience and finesse to help executives step out of their “default” corner and use more effective behaviors to get results.

How It Works:

Our success rate is so high because our approach hits several key questions head on:

Why change? We always start with the business need to fuel the fire for change and help people discover how the current way they think and behave is limiting results.

What to change? We use a combination of 360° feedback instruments and/or 360 interviews to create a powerful mirror of how others see the person act to help them target which behaviors to change. We also use personality instruments or other tools to help people discover why they “do the things they do.” This results in a concrete plan of action.

How to change? We help people work the plan, using a learn-by-doing approach that busy executives love. Learning from experience by trying new behaviors is the main ingredient—they learn how to skillfully work and develop at the same time. We are skilled at helping executives get the other supplementary ingredients they need to make sure they learn from experience and hold the gains--ongoing feedback and improved personal discipline to follow through and reflect on the impact of new approaches.

Our approach is flexible and we blend channels of working with executives: face-to-face, phone and on-line to suit learning preferences of executives.

"The coaching from Jeannie Coyle fundamentally changed the way I approach my role as a Senior HR Consultant and Manager for a Fortune 500 company. Jeannie's coaching style is very collaborative and she is a master at asking high impact questions, causing self-discovery. While Jeannie has a seemingly unlimited knowledge base and notable experiences with many Fortune 500 companies, she had a natural curiosity about MY business as well. She is a great model of how to use the language of business and think strategically. Her use of classic business models, applied in new ways, will be a part of my tool kit from now on."
