Communication with Intention

For Senior and Mid-level Executive Development

• Support senior executives engaged in a wider personal effectiveness process, such as a 360-degree appraisal or involvement with a leadership development center
• Support the appointment or installation of senior executives into a more senior position and/or facilitate their newly defined roles and expectations
• Reinforce effective implementation of organizational change through support and strategic planning
• Function as an independent "sounding board" for Executives; one with a highly developed and critical analytic ability

Specific to Executive Team Coaching

• Support the reconciliation of Interpersonal, Departmental, Cross Corporate Cultural, and Cross Cultural Differences
• Help Teams develop viable strategies for the integration of: new processes, new procedures, styles of problem solving, varied personality typologies, and diverse backgrounds
• Help Team Leaders support the development of team members for WinWinWin™ outcomes.

Executive Coaching Style:

My style is dictated by the needs of the individual and organization. I waste no time in assessing the stated and unstated needs of the individual and organization, and delivering the Fine Tuning™ necessary for each engagement. Whether the focus of coaching involves specific job related requirements, personal effectiveness or career objectives, permeating the engagements are some shared steps. They are: establish the relationship, identify goals, define success, take action, evaluate outcomes of actions taken, and conclude.

Further, I have a general WinWinWin™ style. If there is an investment in time for the individual executive, all who will engage with that executive will benefit. Growth and empowerment are contagious and success has a ripple effect on (w) individuals, (w) departments and (w) organizations.
