Career and Life Coaching

Career and life coaching are focused one-on-one relationship tailored specifically on the client’s goals, interests, challenges and needs.   An important principle in coaching is that clients are ultimately responsible for their actions. Clients become responsible for their career development and become aware of their possibilities for leadership growth.  The coach serves as a facilitator, supporter, confidant or guide but does not “do the work” for the client.  Coaches also maintain the strictest of confidentiality and hold clients accountable for their commitments.

1.    The Art and Science of Successfully Influencing Others.  

To lead, you must be able to influence others to think, speak, act and feel differently.  Without this skill, how can you get result or create positive change?  This coaching session provides a simple, powerful approach to hone the art and science of influencing others successfully.  It offers an overview of the principles that drive successful influence, a process to follow when attempting to influence others, and a set of tools to choose effective goals and the right strategy.

2.       Elegant Leaders Communicate Simply and Powerfully.

From developing a strategy to strengthening relationships, from getting grounded to moving things forward, elegant leaders communicate simply and powerfully.  Most leaders already know how to communicate effectively - but this coaching session focuses on five crucial themes that executives sometimes forget: being the message, being authentic, listening with purpose, speaking simply and powerfully, and treating employee communication as a critical process.

3.         Strengthening Your Power Base:  How to Nurture, Grow and Leverage Your Professional Relationships.

Your network of professional relationships makes up your powerbase.  You succeed or fail by the quality of these relationships.  Some people make the mistake of assuming that professional relationships take care of themselves.  As a result, they neglect to take conscious steps to rescue struggling relationships, strengthen neutral ones and leverage strong ones.   This coaching session provides a way for you to be more aware of the professional relationships that matters most to you, and methods of improving them.
