Executive & Business Coaching

The ancient Romans were noted for their achievements in construction. Many Roman structures are still standing today...they have survived for well over 2,000 years. The Romans followed an interesting practise during construction of buildings, and quality standards were the order of the day. Upon completion, the engineer in charge of the project was expected to stand beneath it when the scaffolding was removed. If the building didn't hold, the engineer was the first to know!

Whatever you choose to build with your professional life and your business, build it so that you can stand beneath it with confidence and pride. The greatest reward in life doesn't come from wealth or from praises or from high honours. It comes from achieving something worthwhile ~ something of lasting value ~ an exhibit of pride.

To keep pace with our changing world, businesses need to be turned inside out. Perspectives need to be transformed to accommodate today's realities. Many business decisions are rooted in vision and success is about moving on and up. It is about continually growing, changing, and becoming better than the original vision intended.

What Do Business Leaders Want?

Senior executives of 25 bluechip organisations were recently quoted in the "Journal Of Management Development" as declaring that..."coaching is one of the most powerful strategic and tactical weapons open to businesses today because of its ability to enhance areas of executive expertise that were already at a high level, and to establish skills that were previously absent or weak."

Coaching performs at all levels of an organisation, particularly in high performers and at the top where there are less role models and precedents, and maximum leverage can be achieved. Managers who coach can provide important feedback and training to their team by providing a structured, results-oriented process to create outstanding performance.

What's In It For Your Business?

  • Coaching enables you to understand exactly where you are in your vision, and then chart the course to exactly where you want to be.
  • Coaching helps set more efficient and specific goals which ultimately lead to better decisions and more efficient working relationships.
  • Coaching requires limited time, is highly work related, and it is results-oriented to remove blocks that frustrate performance and slow down success.

    Why should you consider Visionary Leadership Coaching?

Consider This: A business professional earning £50,000 per year typically costs an organisation 2.5 times that in overhead expense, yielding a net profit of about 10%. At this margin, an organisation needs a turnover of £1.25 million to cover their costs! This is an expensive asset to release for traditional training courses, and it's certainly an asset that must perform to potential.

Consider This: How efficient is your business with change? During times of transition, productivity shortens by an average of 3.5 hours per day while employees fuel the grapevine and become distracted by rumours and a lack of sufficient information. This means that 50 employees each earning £20,000 per year will cost the business £234,000 in lost productivity over a six month period.

  • Ask Yourself: What are the inner resources, skills and talents of my business?
  • Now Ask Yourself: Which of these resources are developed in my managers and employees? Which have we ignored? Who is deciding how they will be used?

The Inner Game Of Coaching

You can choose any combination of tailored coaching plans for yourself and for your associates.

  • Seek clarification of your business vision.
  • Acess ideas to advance and assure your success.
  • Expedite achievement of your goals.
  • Integrate business cultural changes.
  • Fulfil your highest business intentions.
  • Uncover and apply professional values.
  • Make informed and appropriate decisions.
  • Apply results-oriented actions.

Visionary Leadership Coaching...

  • Is a process of taking away or unlearning whatever is getting in the way of movement towards your business goals.
  • Is NOT advice-giving and it is NOT problem solving. It is a way of thinking and of facilitating actions while enhancing your own ability to achieve your vision.

    Visionary Leadership Coaching...

  • Encourages acceptance of change,
  • Fosters a non-judgemental environment,
  • Provides perspectives and sources of insight essential to success,
  • Builds a foundation based on mastery at all levels of success.
