Executive coaching is a long-term, ongoing, one-on-one relationship between a coach and a leader. It’s meant to help develop and strengthen the individual’s leadership capabilities, enabling you to improve your performance and the performance of your organization (and perhaps industry) as a whole.
We will meet weekly for 30 minutes to an hour for six months.
The process begins with a commitment between the coach (me) and the leader (you), both of us agreeing to remain objective. I, as your coach, will learn to understand your perspective of you as a leader/executive and the organization of where you are currently or where you want to go, which will be key to development. I will observe the short and long-term effects of your behavior and decisions and make a thorough assessment over the course of the initial coaching sessions, including getting to know your learning style. My goal is to help you as a leader/executive maximize your effectiveness through a long-term behavioral plan.
At this stage, I will deploy a variety of tools to gather a complete data set regarding your current leadership style and effectiveness. During this data-gathering stage, I will run some tests in personality, attitude, skills, and values. All this data combines into a powerful tool from which to plan future steps.
The next step is the feedback phase. I will focus on your behaviors instead of your character. This helps to digest the feedback better and displays that behavior is something that can be changed. I will put emphasis on your strengths to maintain confidence and enthusiasm. Once the feedback has been shared, we will work together to establish behavioral objectives that will work towards the greatest impact and improvement.
As a business owner, you may find extra support is needed to take your business to the next level. As an objective third party, a business coach offers many benefits, including:
-
Offering unbiased viewpoint
-
Providing constructive criticism
-
Removing mental roadblocks
-
Recommending new methods or plans
-
Providing new networking opportunities
The main focus is generally on your company’s overall growth. The more growth a company sees, the more successful and profitable it will be. Since all business owners want their company to be successful, I work alongside you to make it happen.
Other aspects of the coaching service may include financial planning, marketing strategies or general planning. I will help you with:
- Setting up your business
- Creating a business plan, company mission statement and values
- Marketing and promoting strategies
- Developing or specific financial strategies
- Troubleshooting business problems or inefficiencies
Finally, I will guide you as a leader/executive as you implement these changes and evaluate your progress. I will monitor your behavior and help you troubleshoot and overcome obstacles. Feedback will be given to encourage positive behaviors and discourage the negative while keeping the long-term objectives in focus. This coaching relationship can garner outstanding results for individuals and organizations alike. When done well, executive coaching is a powerful and rewarding tool to improve the performance of executives and their organizations and will likely be well worth the investment.
At RTG Enterprises, my executive coaching approach is a unique blend of high tough and adaptive.
