Coaching for the Corner Office, The High Performance Executive and the High Potential Leader
It can be very lonely at the top, but it doesn’t have to be. Often, executives are engaged in making decisions with limited visibility and that require solid intuition, good judgement, an understanding of statistics, patterns and odds and that may appear unpopular yet good for the whole. Having an objective ally who is invested in your success and is willing to ask tough questions is paramount.
“The C-Suite can be a brutal place, where everyone has a knife out for you. Both Chuck and Benoit have really helped me
get through that challenge and allow me to get my job done with excellence.” CEO – large packaging company.
We have provided executive coaching services to the following marquee corporations:
You are either leading or following and there in no middle ground.
Leadership skills are learned. Leaders are made. Leadership is also not exclusive to role, domain or title. Leadership is as much skill as it is attitude. Great leaders learn how to scale and duplicate. They learn how to lead change by creating vision, urgency, advocacy and how to lever small victories into corporate success.
We’ve all heard it – S*** rolls down hill. Well so does energy, enthusiasm, wisdom, confidence and drive. If your goal is to be a fantastic leader, you first must learn how to deliver all news, bad and good, with a smile on your face.
Executive leadership is very much like climbing a mountain. There are many ways to acent the base, but as you get close to the peak, your paths become limited and eventually there is only one way to the top.
Leadership is also a team game and the bigger the organization, the bigger the team. Unlike climbing alone, every step the leader takes will impact everyone in his/her organization. Thoughtfulness and planning is critical.
Do you think you learned it all in school? Highly unlikely.
Having a coach who has been through it and can help you make difficult decisions based on his/her experience with pragmatism is worth its weight in gold.
