EXECUTIVE COACHING SERVICES
We provide Executive Coaching services to assist executives in building their capability, high performers to reach their full potential, and transitioning leaders and their teams to quickly come up to speed. In our experience, in order for coaching to be effective, coaching participants have to “own” the responsibility for their own development. Personal growth and change begin with self-awareness, so we use a variety of psychometric assessment tools to help build a strong foundation of self-understanding. Our coaching approach is a challenging one, and we encourage participants to fully immerse themselves in the coaching process, to own their goals and to weekly assess their own progress, and to routinely engage with the coach in candid conversations. We provide our clients with a feedback instrument designed to determine whether the goals of the coaching were met. In short, our Coaching practice is based on client-ownership, accountability and mutual commitment to success.
We tailor our coaching engagements around each individual's unique needs -- helping leaders to gain more personal insight, understand their growth opportunities, and map a path towards realizing their full potential. This might include refining executive presence, leveraging emotional intelligence, or honing communications skills. The result is accelerated performance, increased influence and impact, and a demonstrated ability to inspire.

Executive Coaching
Executive Leadership Coaching provides senior level clients with a six-month, retainer-based coaching program that is tailored to their specific needs. This coaching is most appropriate for high potentials, senior management, and C-suite executives. In the initial phase of the engagement, a highly experienced ChangePraxis Master Coach will work with the participant to review psychometric assessment and feedback data, to identify the areas of strength and the most critical areas for development. Over the duration of the engagement, the Master Coach will help the participant to identify concrete changes in behavior that need to be made, practical actions that need to be taken. Jointly they will evaluate the progress against those tasks in order for the participant to make the personal changes necessary to achieve those development goals.

Feedback from a variety of sources has long been seen as a valuable development tool when used in the right hands and for the right purpose. We believe that 360 feedback can be highly useful in helping motivated associates to leverage their strengths and to correct behavior that is seen as ineffective or detrimental to their performance. We utilize a very powerful and proprietary online 360 instrument to provide highly meaningful and actionable feedback to the participant. Our consulting involves administering the instrument, interpretation of the results, and individual sessions of 2-3 hours each to review the feedback results and to plan appropriate actions.

New Leader & Team Assimilation
Taking over a new team is a critical time for a leader and the team and it is important that both the team and leader to "come up to speed" with each other and with the business rapidly. We utilize a proven, structured process to enable the new leader and the team to "get to know each other", for the leader to communicate goals, objectives, and preferred ways of working. It also enables the team to ask the new leader how he or she prefers to communicate and interact with the team. We interview the leader to understand his/her management style, communication preferences, and his/her goals and objectives in the new role. We also interview team members to understand their most pressing business issues, areas in which they need assistance and support, their goals and objectives, and things they would like to hear from their new leader. Our Executive Coach plans and facilitates a work session with the new leader and the team, designed to communicate all the needed information, to surface any issues held by either the team or the leader, and to plan how to deal with those issues. The New Leader and Team Assimilation session greatly accelerates the ability of the team and the new leader to rapidly perform.
