executive coaching & counsel

The impact of executive coaching is best predicted by the quality of the consultant and the level of commitment to growth of the individual being coached.

Strengths based coaching is a foundational competency of all of our business psychology consultants. While our coaching process resembles those of other firms, the professional training, experience and philosophical orientation of our team is quite different from most of our competitors. We offer balanced feedback, presented in a way that clients can confidently use in their day-to-day interactions.

First of all, we believe that the real potential of people isn’t accurately reflected in simple measures of personality styles, with the admonition of “trying to manage” around their blind spots or weaknesses. We strive to help our clients realize their core, differentiating talents and explore ways to consciously leverage these qualities in getting results. The only common success ingredient we usually observe relates to the degree the individual actively exhibits true “emotional intelligence” in their interactions with others. That is, they (1) have solid insight into themselves and their impact on others; (2) can translate this insight into action, and (3) they continually experiment with ways to enhance their own and others’ level of genuine engagement and commitment to the organization.

 This philosophy is reflected in all aspects of how we approach these services:

• We actively explore talents and strengths within the person, especially in relation to their role as a leader

• We utilize a variety of individual and 360 degree assessment tools to capture a complete picture of the person and their impact on others

• We channel our feedback and developmental suggestions in a constructive fashion that aligns with the practical needs and outcomes demanded by the business environment

• We consistently seek out growth opportunities within the business to broaden the individual’s scope of abilities. In addition this process complements the organization’s succession planning capability.

Some of our best “war stories” entail working to with clients over a long period of time to build strong, effective leadership teams and organizational cultures that achieve outstanding results.
