Faqs

The simplest definition of leadership coaching is the facilitation of growth and change in and for a Leader. In the context of what I offer here, it is facilitation of growth and change for already successful Owners, CEO’s and Executives that want to step up their game. If you want to fast track your skills and abilities by taking advantage of my experience and wisdom, if you are willing to listen, learn and do the work, then schedule your Free Practical Leadership Session now. I will stretch and challenge you. What I share is practical and proven, not theoretical knowledge or ideas. I give you what I have learned both through experience and the many mentors/ coaches I have had over the years. Through my successes and failures. What you will get is:

• Better results
• More money
• More discretionary time
• More confidence
• More respect- you will be more respected and honored by your team, your peers, your bosses and your family and friends.
• Many tactical tools I have created over my career.
• Confidence that everything you share and say with me is absolutely confidential.

Your organization will get dramatically improved results through your growth and change. This service goes far beyond what is provided in normal training and education processes. It is best described as a combination of “Trusted Advisor and Coach”. If you are committed to being your personal best, this is for you.

What characteristics assure that your “coach” will, in fact, contribute to the success of you and your organization. Here is a list of the characteristics I look for:

• They are seasoned and experienced in business 
• They are trustworthy
• They commit to and treat everything I say as highly confidential
• They seem to understand me and like me
• They are consistent; I can always depend on them
• They always aid me in seeing things from a fresh perspective
• They have a sense of humor to diffuse my tension in difficult situations
• They are smart
• They help me put my issues in context, often through the use of metaphors, stories, and anecdotes
• They help me think things through; they don’t substitute their judgment for mine
• They don’t pull punches
• They are in it for the long haul; their commitment to me is more important than the current issue
• They always have my best interests at heart
• They challenge my assumptions
• They help me think and separate my logic from my emotions
• They listen to everything I say and don’t say

A coach is not concerned or attached to how you feel at any given moment. A coach typically encourages you to go past what is comfortable for you. It is predictable that at times you will not be happy with doing the “exercises” that lead to world-class performance in your business. A coach is the person who remembers for you and reminds you of your vision and commitments when you forget. Your coach believes in you and your greatness when you only see what looks like inadequacy or insufficiency. A coach has to be able to focus on you, not themselves. A coach will tell you the truth, whether you like it or not. They know when to push, when to console, when to listen, when to speak, and when to act. The relationship that evolves and develops can be one of the most satisfying and fulfilling possible, but it has only one purpose- that you produce on your visions and commitments.

Do I Need a Coach?

Absolutely not! You would not even be reading on this page if you were not already a functional Leader. A wise man once said that who we needed to be to get to where we are, most likely will not get us to where we aspire to be next. Those beliefs and ways we perceive our world might very well prevent us from achieving our new, expanded version of who we want to be.

Then, Why Would I Want A Coach?

When we look at an Olympic athlete who wins a gold medal, we know that they have managed to go beyond where others have stopped. They are the best in the world at what they do. One thing we know for sure about them is that they have a great coach. No matter how committed or talented the athlete, they would not even consider being in the game without a coach. So why should you, the owner of a company, have a coach? For the very same reason, to become the very best you can be.
