The best approach to executive coaching is leading from the inside out. The only thing we fully control is ourselves: our mindset, behavior, and response to things as they happen. The more we investigate inside ourselves, the more impact that has on people and events around us. Leading from the inside out coaching focuses on individual drivers and goals. We help leaders to take a really long look at themselves. We help leaders clarify their goals, and gain insight into how their beliefs, values, and motivations drive their behaviors at work. What’s working, and what’s not, what we would like to change or be different. We help leaders better understand what their organization defines as a success profile and how others perceive them relative to that profile.
We will use some psychological testing to better understand the preferred, comfortable ways of thinking, acting and behaving. We engage with the leaders to look at their habitual mindset, and how that creates possibilities for them in the organization. Using the richest portfolio of assessment tools on the market and combining standardized methodologies with a highly tailored approach, we have an unmatched ability to enhance effectiveness at the individual, team, and organizational level.
