Coaching for Executives

Many aspire to the top levels of executive management through years of hard work, increased learning, taking risks, and developing their talents, only to find that it really is lonely at the top.

Who can you talk to who will truly listen to you?
Who will communicate honestly with you when they risk losing their job?
Who brainstorms with you on dealing more effectively with stubborn board members?
Who is there to be your advocate when you have made a mistake?
Who is there to give you confidence when you have a deadline and still aren't quite sure?
Who is there when you feel guilty for being away from home so much and then frustrated at home because there is so much work to be done at the office?
Who is there to support you when the weight of your decisions affects so many other families?

Who is there? A coach. In my role as an executive coach, I partner with my clients by truly listening, understanding, and communicating directly with compassion and honesty. No idea is silly. No problem is too large or too small. You, as the leader of your corporation or company, deserve to be supported as only a coach can do.

Similar to coaching world class athletes, executive coaching involves challenging and supporting executives to achieve higher levels of performance through expanding their capacity to take effective action. Different from athletic coaching, the coach is not standing in the fore-front telling you what to do. The real experience is in learning how to have someone pull the information from inside, to bring the leader out from within, and give you the confidence you need to move forward.

What can you expect from GloriaCoach.com within a coaching relationship?

	I establish a written contract up front so that you can be confident in the confidentiality of all discussions. An effective coaching relationship is built on trust and integrity, and I will honor you and the work will do together within that standard. This contract will also detail the logistics of the relationship (sessions, fees, other involved if appropriate, etc.)
	I will listen fully to what you are saying as well as to what you are not saying. I will use my intuition and my strengths to hear beyond the surface level and will work to understand what is truly at the heart of the matter.
	I will ask questions that are designed for self-discovery, greater insight into your own knowledge, and questions that will support you in moving forward towards your vision and goals.
	I will communicate directly and respectfully. I will tell you the truth as I see it, offer new perspectives, and reframe thoughts and ideas back to you so that you can easily communicate them back to others as necessary.
	We will create new awareness around areas of strengths and areas for increased learning and growth. I will challenge your beliefs and attitudes that are getting in the way of you becoming the leader you most desire to be.
	We will co-create plans of action that can be easily integrated into your life and career. Every accomplishment, point of learning, and step towards future goals will be celebrated and built upon. Measurable and tangible goals will be set with your bigger vision in mind.
	We will manage progress and design systems of accountability for the action steps you have designed. I will honor your right to make decisions while challenging you to follow through, grow, and expand into new areas of thinking and living.
