Executive Coaching

Executive Coaching includes the identification of an individual Executive Coach for each Executive based on the experiences/expertise/orientation of the Executive.  There are three components to the coaching process:  Identification of Needs, Executive Improvement Plan, and Evaluation of Achieving Goals/Objectives.

• Identification of Needs:  Identification of an executive’s needs includes review of written information for organizational goals/objectives, targeted performance, and improvement plans; a personal interview with the executive; observation of executive’s interactions with other team(s) members; identification of leadership/communication style(s); identification of executive strengths; identification of executive’s needs; prioritization of executive’s needs.

• Executive Improvement Plan:  The development of an Executive Improvement Plan is an interactive process with the Executive Coach proposing a plan with goals, objectives, activities, and time lines for review/discussion/refinement based on conversations with the Executive.  The Plan is designed to cover an agreed upon time frame (e.g., three months) and requires at least one face-to-face meeting per month and at least weekly phone call conversations to provide for celebration of successes, diagnosis of barriers identified which prevent progress, alternative solutions, and refinement of the plan.

• Evaluation of Achieving Goals/Objectives:  At the end of the time frame (e.g., three months), a focused conversation with the Executive and the Coach his conducted to mutually evaluate progress in achieving goals/objectives and to determine if each goal/objective has been achieved, if it needs to be monitored for continued growth, or if an improvement plan is needed for another time frame.
