I hope you find this edition of the 'coaching currents' both practical and inspirational. Feel free to share it with colleagues and friends. Warmly,
The other day my daughter asked me about the work I do. She has experienced coaching, but wanted to find out more about my work. She knows it would be unethical for me to talk about my clients. And yet she was curious as to what resulted from coaching my clients. It's one thing to know what brings someone to coaching, it's something else to see what happens in the process and more importantly what the results are. Generally speaking, I work with executives, often international, who are in transition, seeking change. They hire me either directly or through their company and I work with individuals and teams. Generally speaking they hire me because they are seeking an objective listener, a partner in work and life, someone who can provide perspective and insight, someone who can challenge their assumptions and who will hold them accountable. They are not seeking a boss, a spouse or a parent, they are seeking a partner who supports them in complex decision making processes and mastering challenges. Therefore, I have decided to provide you with some examples of recent coaching assignments and their results. I was hired by: · An automobile executive to create a vision for retirement and a plan to transition from full employment to consulting, from stressed 60 to 70 hour work weeks to a balanced life, resulting in the exit from the corporate job, attracting several consulting clients in field of expertise and creating time for hobbies, creative and physical in nature. · A start-up CEO to increase performance, assemble the best team possible, and creating a 21st century company culture. Coaching resulted in clearly set expectations for the management team, higher productivity and clearly focused goals. The executive has successfully increased his leadership and coaching capabilities as well as his communication style. · An automobile executive to develop an idea for his own business, to exit the corporate world and creating an online company while moving towards a path to financial independence. This resulted in a successful online marketing company, recognized for its expertise in a niche market, alignment of funding and raised awareness of financial path. · A bank vice president to identify her passion, and aligning the career path accordingly. The executive has successfully created a high level network in the financial world and is actively seeking new opportunities in a different field while planning her wedding and maintaining a well-balanced approach to life. · An automobile executive to develop an exit strategy from the corporate job with a vision to start a retail outfit aligned with executive's passion. The store reached profitability within one year of opening and was enhanced with an online store within 14 months of the original business' launch. The learning by being an entrepreneur has been priceless. The vision is now increased to multiple store locations or franchising opportunities. · A professional photographer and studio owner to gain clarity on the business and financial situation. Coaching resulted in evaluation and improvement of the business team, improved clarity of changing market situation and goals. The owner has become an informed and proactive portfolio and real estate investor. · A computer consultant to focus on implementation of new tools and systems, attraction of a successful business team. This resulted in higher productivity, improved cash flow and higher return. · A technology executive to attract new employment and a new home. Coaching resulted in a new job, the purchase of a new home and increased work/life balance. · A commercial mortgage broker to increase business through improved sales, resulting in a renewed love for public speaking and establishing himself as an expert and speaker with an ever increasing Rolodex. · An international marketing director to become clear on her vision and her role in her team. She has become more proactive, organized, and has established herself as a leader within her organization. She has become more goal-oriented and productive as a result. In addition, coaching with these and other executives resulted in: · improved professional and personal
