“MAKE IT HAPPEN” Executive Coaching
This premier coaching service is for those who are ready to commit to “whatever it takes” in order to achieving their audacious goals. Flexible coaching schedule is tailored to Your needs.

LEAD AS A COACH – Secrets of coaching
Most leaders describe their role as one of a “coach”. While it is true that a lot of leaders use a coaching approach as part of their leadership toolkit, it is based on their idea of coaching but they may often lack the real coaching skills. Many leaders confuse coaching with mentoring, teaching, advising and directing. Coaching, however, has its own paradigms and specific skills sets. When coaching is properly applied with an understanding of the skills a leader’s approach transforms radically.

This coaching program is tailored to the individual needs of the leader. It is “just-in-time, on-the- job” tailored shadow coaching for leaders who want to adopt coach-like leadership approach

LEADERSHIP COACHING FOR GROUPS

INCREASE YOUR LEADERSHIP INTELLIGENCE
Most leaders understand the concepts of leadership – it is the practicing of their understanding of leadership that is a challenge. “Good” leadership is easier described than practiced. In order to help leaders become consciously competent we study the competencies they must master. The key competencies of leadership make your leadership a practice, not just a good idea. This is Leadership Intelligence in action.

In this interactive in-house or group workshop participants learn:

  • Why developing Leadership Intelligence matters
  • The key Leadership Intelligence competencies
  • To assess their Leadership Intelligence competencies
  • The most important questions intelligent leaders ask
  • To create a plan for developing their Leadership Intelligence

LEADERS IN TRANSITION – What story are you telling?
When big changes are happening in organizations, they often require changes in personnel: some are let go, some are put in new positions with new responsibilities. Uncertain times like this can be challenging and generate anxiety. The interactive program comprised of 8 sessions facilitates the change by empowering people to take charge of their career and life stories. Whether you have been just starting to dream about changes in your career, been laid off or you know you will be soon face changes you are experiencing transition. Where do you want to transition to?

We explore the following questions:

  • What is the transitional place like? Who are you as a leader of your transition?
  • What happens when a leader is not a leader of other people anymore, but still a leader of their own lives?
  • Everyone has got a story - which story do you choose to tell when you live in the transition-land?
  • Is your story one of a victim of circumstances or is it a Hero’s journey?

Participants learn:

  • Key questions you must ask yourself
  • 5 fundamental elements of creating a Leader’s Story
