Personal Executive Coaching

Professional & Personal Success

As a professionally certified executive coach, and owner of a business or two over the last 10 years, I collaborate with executives, small business owners, professionals & aspiring entrepreneurs on a deep, personal and confidential level. This isn’t your typical ‘professional’ relationship.

Though executive coaching has a major focus on business and is tied to performance and results, this type of coaching is all about being successful on a multidimensional, holistic scale. It’s about performance, personal growth and fulfillment. What is professional success worth if it cannot be enjoyed on a personal level?

The Gift of Coaching

Many organizations these days are giving their leaders an incredible gift, a gift in the form of coaching. The gift of coaching benefits more than just the organization, it benefits the individual on a personal level and it also benefits everyone that person is connected to – their coworkers, their clients, their families & friends, everyone.

The Whole Person

As human beings, we are more than just our logical, business minds. We are mind, body & spirit. As much as one may try to succeed, increased results and better performance will not make a lasting difference to anyone unless the person feels successful and fulfilled. In addition, one’s personal life cannot be taken out of the equation. What’s going on for an individual in their personal lives significantly affects their work, their performance and their presence on the job. Bottom line: coaching is for the whole person.

Every person is completely unique - who they are at their core, their experiences, their strengths and talents, how they think and feel, what truly drives them, what inevitably holds them back. One type of training or development cannot be all things to all people. Coaching, however, is not training – it is a way for a person to become more self aware and self driven. It is a way for a person to become their best selves and leverage their unique strengths, experience and expertise in ways that contribute to extraordinary results in their personal and professional lives.

Who I Work With

I work one on one with individuals who are:

• Executives & emerging leaders within an organization,
• Small business owners,
• Professionals wanting to start a business or change career paths.

The type and style of coaching I do is for individuals (and organizations that care) who wish to:

• Create meaningful changes in their personal & professional lives,
• Have more purpose & fulfillment in what they do,
• Achieve more balance between work and life,
• Have more personal freedom & happiness,
• Be more focused, effective & productive each day,
• Reduce stress & take back control of their lives,
• Be their authentic selves more often, with more people,
• Make a bigger difference in their work & their world,
• Be more confident, inspiring & powerful,
• Fulfill their maximum potential in business & in life.

How Coaching Helps

Whether you are giving yourself the gift of coaching or a member of your organization, having an executive coach is like having a dedicated partner helping the individual enrich and enjoy all parts of their life, not only maximize their success in business. I am not here to teach or train anyone on the latest strategies in management, marketing or sales – that isn’t what a coach does.

Speaking to the individual, as a coach I believe that you have the answers you need within you and you don’t need me telling you how you should run your business or do your job. I am here to help you discover and tap into your source of inner wisdom, your authentic self, and apply the power that wisdom possesses into your daily life so you can ultimately create more fulfilling and meaningful results.

There are unlimited benefits to collaborating with a business or executive coach and the following is a list of the top themes covered in coaching. Consider yourself or members of your organization when you review this list and envision how the following will contribute to overall success, professionally and personally:

Coaching Is Customized to the Individual

Whatever the focus of coaching is about, whether it be performance, skills, business growth, personal mastery, balance, leadership or anything else important to your success, the choice is always completely up to you. You can start off wanting to focus on the more tangible side of business and once you see results, we can move on to other areas that matter most. Or, we can start off with a major transition that needs to happen in your business or career and then find the finer & more subtle things to focus on. For organizations sponsoring their members, we will work together to establish a balance between the organization’s agenda and that of the coachee (this is key).

Except for a few different exercises, models and tools, the coaching process is the same – because it’s always customized to you, in the moment.

At any time, in any session, you can bring any topic, challenge, problem, idea or situation you want to work on – to get clear on, gain a new perspective and to have a sounding board. I will help you explore new options and possibilities and commit to the choice you resolve to make as you increase your levels of self-awareness, creativity & resourcefulness, personal accountability & self leadership.

I will help you gain the confidence & trust in your own unique decision-making process. You will learn to take all the awareness and insights you have gained about your values & priorities and do something meaningful about it.

The Coaching Investment

I recommend committing to a minimum of 15 hours of coaching in weekly or bi-weekly intervals over a period of 3 months and I am sure you will see that coaching has made a significant difference in your business & your life.

If you wish to continue – there is no defined length of a coaching engagement. If it’s working for you and you found this approach helps you do what you couldn’t do before, let’s keep working together.

Since business coaching is so customized to the individual, a custom tailored package will be created after we have an introductory session. My typical fee for executives is $200 per hour of coaching. Discounts are available for up-front commitments and organizations sponsoring multiple employees. If you wish to sponsor someone in your organization, please contact me to discuss this so we can ensure there is optimal alignment and a good fit.

How Do You Start?

If this sounds like an approach you wish to pursue, now would be a good time to secure a Free Coaching Session & Consultation or contact me so I can answer any of your questions. If you wish to learn more about me, my background and why I became a coach, click here.

If you have not yet explored the rest of this site and the Breakthroughs Blog, please do so as it will inform you about the type, style and content of the coaching I do (see the menus to the right).

I look forward to hearing from you and would be honoured to be your business coach!
