Executive Coaching and Leadership Development Coaching

What is the process?

Our executive coaching and leadership development process begins with self-assessment and 360-degree feedback to help the client see himself or herself clearly and identify his or her strengths and weaknesses. Based on these evaluations, the client sets goals and the coach works with him or her to develop leadership and management skills, conduct strategic planning, address behaviors, improve skills, tackle problem areas, and grow professionally. Length of engagement varies, but typical engagements run four to six months. Cost varies according to length of engagement and extent of initial assessment.

Managers and executives will begin to experience benefits almost immediately, as the awareness created by the feedback begins to change behavior. Coaching provides a framework for strategic planning and skills development that produces more adept and successful leadership.
