Executive Coaching

"Asked for a conservative estimate of the monetary payoff from the coaching they got, these managers described an average return of more than $100,000, or about six times what the coaching had cost their companies." --FORTUNE, 2/19/01

Create Powerful Executive Presence

Are you concerned that you aren’t coming across as well as you could?

Do you need to be more skilled at promoting yourself in order to get ahead?

If so, then our Create Powerful Executive Presence program is for you.

Executive presence is critically important because research has shown three key facts:

  1. Your ability to make yourself visible and promote yourself is significantly more predictive of career advancement than your work performance.
     
  2. You must present yourself as skilled in key competencies for the position you want rather than the position you are in.
     
  3. The way you say something is far more important than what you actually say.

Our individual coaching program will help you:

  • Identify the key attributes of how you want and need to be perceived at work.
  • Recognize your core strengths and how to leverage them to be more successful.
  • Develop emotional self-control, show restraint and patience, and respond calmly.
  • Modify your vocal tonality and rate to show confidence and authority.
  • Establish strong connections with others to enhance your likeability and get support.
  • Make your message compelling and show your strategic thinking and leadership abilities.
  • Promote yourself effectively with confidence and without sounding overconfident.

If this sounds like a good match for you, schedule a free consultation to get started.

Build Your Team, Develop Others, and Be an Inspiring Leader

Team building is essential for leadership and corporate success. To be a motivating leader you must be a compelling and compassionate communicator.

Many leaders are very bright and excellent in their areas of expertise, but do not yet have the key leadership development and team building skills that they need. Our goal is to help new and advanced leaders to not only be the best that they can be, but to also bring out the best in their staff.

We define success as the ability to achieve while creating a sense of legacy, meaning, and enjoyment. What better way to accomplish all of these things than to be an inspiring leader?

Our coaching program helps you:

  • Communicate a big-picture vision that unites and motivates your team.
  • Foster collaborative teamwork and build the bonds necessary for high performance.
  • Serve as a catalyst for change and help people get on board despite their fears of the unknown.
  • Develop your listening skills and show that you understand underlying individual or organizational issues.
  • Effectively give constructive criticism and encourage others to be more successful.
  • Get more done by delegating tasks in the right way to the right people.
  • Recognize others’ developmental needs and serve as a supportive mentor.

Speak with True Confidence

What could be more stressful than speaking in front of a group?

The fear of public speaking ranks higher than the fear of spiders, heights, and even death! As comic Jerry Seinfeld is cited as saying, “If you’re at a funeral, you’d rather be in the casket than giving the eulogy!”

Yet your ability to present yourself well in formal and informal speaking situations is the key to your career success. Executive communication is an art and a science and you can learn both. As Brian Tracy said of Larina’s New York Times bestselling book The Confident Speaker:

“Your ability to speak confidently on your feet will impress more people and open more doors than you can imagine."

Our Speak with True Confidence coaching program helps you learn proven techniques to remain calm while speaking to:

  • Increase your confidence when speaking with your boss or co-workers.
  • Manage the physical signs of speech anxiety.
  • Eliminate the overcompensating behaviors that undermine your confidence.
  • Establish a connection with your audience.
  • Assertively communicate your ideas and needs.
  • Network and present your best in informal settings and group conversations.
  • Field difficult questions with ease and poise.

Overcome the fear of public speaking and learn how to speak with real confidence. Get started with a free consultation. As a bonus for enrolling in this program, you will receive a signed copy of The Confident Speaker and a 60-minute audio on confident speaking.

Manage Conflict with Skill and Ease

Your relationships with people at work can be a major source of satisfaction – or stress. So how do you insure more satisfaction and less stress?
You develop skills in conflict management.

Nothing challenges your leadership skills more than tension within your team, disagreements with your boss, or discord with your co-workers. You can, however, learn the art of handling workplace conflict.

Conflict management coaching will help you:

  • Diffuse tension by learning specific methods for communicating with others.
  • Maintain calm and poise in stressful situations and project objectivity.
  • Effectively work with a difficult boss and learn how to “manage up.”
  • Turn competition into cooperation and build resilient teams that pull together when faced with challenges.
  • Manage hostility in audiences or customers and establish common ground.
  • Avoid acting as referee and train employees how to resolve conflict before involving supervisors.
  • Recognize gender and cultural differences that lead to misunderstandings, and learn how to communicate to suit the needs of your audience and the situation.
  • Establish your authority by dealing with co-workers who undercut you or attempt to diminish your role as a leader.
