Career Coaching for Executives

If you are an executive now, or dream of becoming one - what are the processes now at work that may have you thinking - I could really use an executive coach right about now?

• You are an executive who knows you are tired of the pace you have been keeping and want something else. Perhaps in another sector or perhaps in non-profit, or perhaps launching your own enterprise - you want to scale back on stress and overload. Are you starting to feel angry much of the day? This might be your scenario.

• You are wanting to move to a non-profit sector? OR you are in a non-profit intent on moving to big business as you are unhappy with your compensation? Want to change your fiscal game?

• You want to break out into another business sector - period!

• You want to become an executive in the next five years or sooner?

• You are an executive who knows change and restructuring may eliminate or diminish your position.

• You are not paid enough for the insurmountable workload you carry - c’est ca.

• You were hired when standards were very different, more relaxed, and you may find yourself shortly replaced for lack of certain skills never studied nor acquired.

• You sense there are opportunities out there or looming on the horizon, and you want to be ready for them, whether with your company, or elsewhere.

• You want some other life, but no idea what?

Any one of the above is an excellent reason to call an executive coach, and that’s by no means any exhaustive list. Maybe you have a strategy worked out that dwells in a lonesome corner of your mind, but it is not getting any traction - or love letters, much less job offers - with the frantic pace of your life.

What can an Executive Career Coach do for you?

Brainstorming with an executive coach with whom you can talk openly about your anxieties, your aspiration, and your dreams is actually a splendid way to sort out what is really going on in the far corners of your mind. Not only this, an executive coach will encourage you to dream - for often when we forget to dream, we lose our capacity to do something truly important in our lives.

Did you have an aspiration that you had dropped because it was too hard - mentally hard to conceive or to plan - or just seemed the bridge too far?  Is it possible to be a successful executive, yet also give back to your community in a new and exciting way? Is there a refreshing way to reframe your identity? Rebrand yourself? How are you branded now, or are you? What would you like to be known for?

The art of subtle self-promotion is one thing you will learn with your coach.

How you access opportunities to perform this subtle art is another thing you will learn. What are the possible opportunities?

Propelling forward with the right support

The idea of hiring an executive coach is not merely to ensure that you are offered the job of your dreams, although usually that is the driving reason. However, a strong executive coach can perform a critical role that supports the client to arrive at the most positive frame of mind during the coaching, thereby ensuring that the executive is not only ready to shine during their interviews, but also ready for a high-powered launch into their tenure in a new position, setting a high bar for performance, company-wide. In other words, executive coaching can thoroughly prepare you for your re-set in a new role, preparing you for a bold leap into fresh challenges.
