Why Executive Coaching?
Top executives know that it’s neither the smartest nor hardest working people who succeed in business. It’s the ones who best communicate their vision to customers, vendors, boards, employees, the media and the public.
The Executive Coaching Program in Communications helps leaders become power speakers. This customized program is designed to provide intensive, one-on-one training and strategic consulting that moves you into the arena of top executives who communicate in a highly effective way with their important audiences.
The goal of our coaching is to help leaders become authentic communicators - not imitations. Every leader has unique qualities that shine through when he or she understands the secrets to communicating well.
Strategy: The Message
Leaders must be able to deliver a powerful message about vision and strategy in order to drive results. Our process shows them how to develop that message and organize a strategy for delivering it to key audiences. These tools and techniques will help any leader or emerging leader clearly articulate their ideas and win buy-in from important audiences.
Communication Style
A commanding presence is an essential part of the leadership package. Body language, voice, facial expression, gestures, and movement all contribute to how effective a leader is in both formal and informal settings. Videotaping and coaching on communication style is an effective way to help leaders build confidence and project authenticity.
Personal Assessment
The program begins with assessments and goal setting, through:
- Personal history interviews
- Conversations about goals and timelines
- Interviews with colleagues/mentors
- 360 feedback report about communication strengths and needs
- Videotaped assessment of a presentation (formal or informal)
Program Requirements
Leaders typically engage the coach for a six-month or one-year program, meeting a minimum of once a month for a 3 hour session. We work in real time on projects such as meetings, presentations, conferences, and appearances.
Sessions are scheduled in advance for the duration of the coaching so that clients can set aside the time and make it a priority. The coach meets for extra sessions whenever there is a major event coming up.
Accountability
We work in partnership with the organization every step of the way. We meet with the client and his or her team to review goals and action plans, and touch base periodically to review progress.
Accountability is essential to the success of every engagement and we encourage companies to work with us and create an environment for success.
