The best athletes, the best teams – they all have coaches.
Great leaders recognize that they can always improve themselves and the best leaders do that with coaches.
Our knowledge, skills and personality traits can make us good managers but that doesn’t usually make a great leader. To be a great leaders you need a thought partner – a person who will support you in identifying the behaviors that if refined, will take you to new heights in your career.
Many great leaders had coaches including Steve Jobs, Eric Schmidt, Bill Gates, Frances Hesselbein, Oprah Winfrey, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama had coaches at various times in their lives. You should too.
Your best investment is the one you make in yourself.
Executive & Leadership Coaching
Successful leaders know that they must grow and evolve to achieve new success. To excel in an ever-changing environment, it is imperative that they ask the question, “Which of my leadership behaviors should I keep or change take myself and my team to new heights?” Many CEOs and other senior leaders find it “lonely at the top.” At the top, there are few opportunities to think strategically about one’s own leadership skills, to receive honest feedback and to plan and execute a series of steps to become the leader one wants to be. Assessing and identifying one’s strengths and areas for development and setting a clear path to improvement is crucially important.

Stakeholder Centered Coaching
As a Marshall Goldsmith Certified Executive Coach, we can utilize individual or team stakeholder centered coaching – a process that guarantees results. People don’t get better because they go to “programs”. They don’t get better because they listen to motivational speakers. They only get better if they pick something important to improve on, involve the people around them and follow up in a disciplined way. Long-term change in leadership effectiveness takes time, follow-up and discipline – not just understanding. This is a critical insight for human resources and business leaders. It is the basis of the Stakeholder Centered Coaching methodology which puts these concepts into a clear 7-step process: involving those around a leader to help the leader improve in specified leadership growth areas through consistent feedback and follow-up.International Coach Federation
