Coaching

"Brian is highly skilled at providing executive leadership coaching. He listens and is insightful, and more importantly, is genuinely curious about your customers and clients. Together you develop strategies to uncover the path forward to address the underlying needs of the people you serve. After his coaching, I implemented his advice, and it led to increased sales and stronger business partnerships that grew my operations."

-Michael A. Alden, General Manager

Coaching Is:
  • All about you…and your goals and agenda
  • Powerful conversations to uncover potential, resourcefulness, and creativity moving the client towards transformation
  • For people who are ready to make important work and life changes
  • For a mutually agreed upon defined period of time
  • Focusing on the now and the future
  • A whole-person approach
Coaching Is Not:
  • Problem solving
  • Training, Mentoring, Consulting or Counseling
  • Coercive
  • Friendship or cheerleading
  • Dredging up the past
When It Works:
  • Client has a strong (even fierce) desire to learn and grow
  • Chemistry exists between client and coach
  • Top leadership in your organization is committed to growing their leadership team
  • Client is willing to shift agenda as he/she grows
  • Expectation that the “whole person” is coached, not just work issues
  • Process is transparent, yet with complete coach-client confidentiality
  
When It Doesn’t:
  • When the coachee isn’t fully participating
  • If you’re only looking to problem-solve
  • Poor chemistry
  • Expecting the coach to perform “magic”
  • When the coach doesn’t have clear methodology
  • When top leadership isn’t on-board
 
What The Client Does:
  • Focus on self without being self-centered
  • Listen to intuition and inner voice
  • Challenge existing attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors
  • Develop new habits that serve the client’s goals
  • Leverage core strengths
  • Take decisive action
  • Gain healthy perspectives
  • Increase courage to reach new heights
What The Coach Does:
  • Ask powerful, discovery questions
  • Clarify vision
  • Hold the client’s agenda
  • Provide accountability around highest elements
  • Encourage self-discovery, unlocking new potential
