High Potential Executive Coaching

Executive Coaching for High Performing, High Potentials

Mark makes keenly sharp relevant observations without appearing opinionated or judgmental.
This enables him to be direct and even blunt without offending those he works with.
Rather than coming off as an authority figure in the bad sense of the word,
he comes across like the helpful and caring big brother you always wanted.
It’s a marvelous trait that stands him in good staid
when working with great executives that are coachable
and who are committed to getting even better.

Deliverables:

At the end of twelve months, you and your stakeholders will agree without hesitation and with enthusiasm:

  1. You started and sustained x positive behavior(s).
  2. You stopped completely y negative behavior(s).
  3. You changed z behavior that nobody including you thought you were capable of changing.

Most people are ready for change.  We work with those who are ready to change.

Are you coachable?

What do you need and want to get better at to fulfill your potential? Think carefully before you answer.  Ask trusted and candid stakeholders before you answer.  If after that, your answer to what you need and want is the same, you have a greater chance of coaching being successful.

Are you ready to change?

Once you identify the above, how soon do you want to begin? This demonstrates how high a priority it is.

Are you committed to change?

  1. Time = Are you ready to ask superior, peer and subordinate stakeholders who interact with you and will be candid to participate in this process and then ask your superiors the specific positive consequences of your changing and specific negative consequences of your not changing and finally are you ready to schedule and keep coaching sessions.
  2. Money = Are you and your company ready and able to commit to the payment and schedule of payments agreed upon by you, your company, your boss and your coach?
  3. Effort = Are you ready to commit to doing specific things out of your comfort and competence zone, that will sometimes be difficult,  frustrating and slow before making a breakthrough?
