We begin coaching by listening. We need to find out where you have been, where you are, and where you want to go. From here we analyze the skills required to help you reach your goals. As coaching progresses we utilize our experience-based knowledge to teach you those skills so you can achieve your business and professional goals.
CEO AND EXECUTIVE COACHING
Founders – Startup companies with a few employees
CEOs of startup companies need skills allowing them to comfortably and effectively shift from the “doing it yourself” mindset to getting work done by employees. Coaching startup CEOs includes skills necessary to prepare them to move into the next stage of company growth, Managing managers.
Early growth companies with Managers
CEOs of early growth-stage companies need to hone skills required to effectively manage and be responsible for the development and coaching of their managers while holding them accountable. These CEOs can be Coached on how to manage managers including those who have essential expertise outside their own comfort zones (and how to value that expertise). Documentation is now a critically important skill throughout their company. These CEOs may need Coaching on how to balance short-term vs strategic long-term thinking that will prepare them for the next stage of company growth.
Mid-stage growth companies with CEOs becoming Enterprise Managers
CEOs of mid-stage companies are often Coached on skills that allow them to shift their focus from strategic thinking to visionary thinking and from operations to global perspectives. CEOs should be knowledgeable of and accept the significant changes in their focus that will move them away from previous skills that served them well as Managers of managers. This transition to an Enterprise Manager is often difficult to achieve but important for successful, high performing companies.
