Master Your Leadership Goals with Executive Coaching

The goal is growth, and there are many different methods and frameworks that can fit different people and situations and goals best. We might employ personality profiles, or group coaching, or journalling, or reading and reflection, or self-assessments, or ad hoc calls, or in-person sessions...

Everyone has preferences and their own different ideas of what they expect from “good coaching”, and we are great listeners. But also, people’s preferences stem from their biases, and sometimes those biases are what are keeping people from growing in the ways they say they want to. Our coaches strike that balance between listening and understanding as well as pushing leaders out into new practices, ideas, and behaviours.

Usually one 1-hour session per month, but if needed, we can do two half-hour sessions twice/month. These sessions are done either by phone call, in-person, or Zoom, in a focused environment without distraction.

Here are some patterns we observe: It often takes at least three months to hit the real obstacles. In months 4-10, unexpected factors occur, knocking leaders off balance and tempting them to revert to their comfortable (and less productive) default behaviours—and these are the times a coach can help you with the real implementation. Progress in times of unexpected stress is invaluable progress. 

The reality is, establishing new behaviours requires both time and application to various situations as they arise. Twelve months is by no means the cap on that process, but it’s the timeframe we encourage leaders to consider for their best chance to establish change they can maintain moving forward. 

With the help of your coach, you will develop your own goals for the coaching period and crystallize the outcomes that are most important to you and your leadership team. Your coach won’t do the work for you; you will have the full support of a seasoned guide, helping you do the work for yourself. So your outcomes are your own choice! But it might help to be reminded that the leaders we coach (who have metrics involved in the process) meet their own goals 95% of the time.

With utmost care. Trust is the bedrock of this whole arrangement—if we relay information you shared in confidence to other parties, we destroy any possibility of this working. Your organization’s success is highly dependent on decisions you are making and issues you are managing. That is true for each of the hundreds of leaders we help year after year.

An even better question is, “How much is it worth?” Only you can determine the answer to that question. We have clients who have invested over $200,000 for our services and doubled their return on that investment within three years.

You might find that coaching brings value to you by: 
...helping you retain high-value staff. 
...raising departmental productivity.
...increasing company sales, share value, or membership revenue by enhancing people’s confidence in your organization and leadership.

We don’t say this to be evasive, though. It's $2500 per month. That’s what coaching starts at per person, with a considerable discount for paying for a full year up front, and/or enroling multiple team members.

But we mean what we said. How much is it worth to raise the trust, confidence, effectiveness, and health of your team, your board, your direct reports, and even yourself? If that’s valuable to you, know that it’s also valuable to us. It’s why we do what we do, and we’d love to explore what’s on the line for you and your company, and how to help you get there.
