Executive Coaching
Get farther, faster, with a coach on your side.
Executive coaching helps senior leaders sharpen their leadership, elevate performance, and navigate complex people and business challenges with greater clarity and confidence. Leaders gain a trusted strategic partner focused on strengthening decision-making, influence, accountability, and the leadership capacity needed to drive stronger organizational results.
The Value Proposition
With the right coach, you can achieve great results. At the same time, it's a partnership. You get out of coaching what you put into it. When you do your part, just a few outcomes you can expect include:
-
Better Leadership -Of people, not just strategy. You're already an expert in your field, and coaching can accelerate your communication, feedback, delegation, and influence to directly affect culture and performance.
-
Increased Self-Awareness - A leader's greatest strength is knowing how others perceive them. Their greatest weakness is denial, thinking everything is OK. Coaching helps to heighten your awareness of how others perceive you, increases openness to feedback, and exposes your costly blind spots.
-
Improved Decision-Making - Leaders rarely need more information. They need better judgment, clearer thinking, and stronger methods to test assumptions. Coaching can help you make better decisions, faster.
-
Stronger Execution - Executives often know what should happen, but the gap is consistent follow-through across priorities, teams, and time. Coaching creates accountability and alignment that translate into habits, commitments, and management rhythms.
-
Greater Adaptability - Change and growth are constants. AI, labor pressure, restructures, and other changes are non-stop. Coaching helps leaders handle uncertainty, communicate change more effectively, and stay steady while reshaping the business.
Your Personal ROI
Coaching is an investment. You should expect a return on that investment. As you do your part in setting and meeting goals, fulfilling expectations, and making changes, typical ROIs include:
-
Personal ROI - More clarity, confidence, resilience, self-awareness, and reduced isolation. You'll improve your personal connections and empowerment.
-
Professional ROI - Stronger communication, influence, delegation, feedback, and leadership effectiveness. Others will see you with greater poise, confidence, and self-respect that command presence.
-
Business ROI - Better engagement, retention, productivity, execution, and profitability through improved leadership behaviors.
Gallup research links engaged teams to 23% higher profitability, 14% higher productivity in production settings, and better retention and well-being. These are all tied to a leader's effectiveness.
Be the leader you know you can be and that your people deserve.
The Program
Every manager gets a tailored approach and unique coaching experience leading to lasting results...
Our process begins with an ASSESSMENT that helped to understand each employee and their unique situation. We consider strengths, opportunities for progress, blindspots, relationships, leadership effectiveness, goal attainment, personal development, team management, time management, and more. Understanding one's goals compared to outcomes is the starting point to building a system that shifts mindsets, behaviors, and results.
The coach works with you to design your custom coaching plan...
Each situation is unique. Every challenge is different with unique needs for alignment, goal setting, instruction, coaching, and accountability. From intensive multi-session sessions, self-instruction guides, mastermind and group conversations, to coordinated accountability check-ins, the coach coordinates with each person's needs, timeframe, and goals to ensure that the outcomes match.
How does it work?
Many managers, leaders, professionals, and individuals have found success with the help of professional coaching. As a certified coach, Dr. Wade has worked with many managers to overcome challenges, shift their mindsets and behaviors, and achieve their goals. The additional focus on identifying challenges, setting specific objectives, and aligning strategies, priorities, and actions make all the difference.
Over the course of the coaching period, the coach and individual work together to identify goals, build systems, create structures, and move forward. The coach does not do the work. Instead, the coach works with the individual to build the systems, accountabilities, and processes that can help achieve lasting change and results.
A typical Executive Coaching program consists of the following:
Working Sessions
Dr. Wade works with the individual via Zoom or telephone. Depending on the desired outcomes, these may be held weekly, bi-weekly, or as needed according to the coaching plan.
Clifton 34 Assessment
We begin with a self-assessment. Dr. Wade uses the Gallup Clifton 34 assessment to understand strengths and opportunities for growth.
Materials
Each individual receives accompanying workbooks, materials, and study guides as a part fo the coaching program. These include all handouts used during the sessions.
Progress Reports
If used in coordination with other programs, a regular progress report can be provided to management about the progress made within the coaching program.
Webinars
Participants have access to all outside content, sessions, and webinars provided by Optimal Talent Dynamics during the course of the Coaching. Clients also receive special pricing on workshops and seminars should they want to attend during the coaching experience.
Group Coaching
If more than one person from a team, group, or company is working through coaching, it is often beneficial to have an occasional group coaching session as a part of the program. This allows an open conversation on a given topic and discussion on how to apply specific principles or overcome common challenges in the workplace. These may occur monthly during the span of the program or as frequently or infrequently as desired.
Some programs enroll the entire team in group coaching as a whole where the entire program is team-based. Individual coaching is limited to monthly accountability meetings as individuals align personal goals around team goals, and team coaching focuses on team alignment and application to organizational mission, vision, and goals.
Both individual and group coaching programs are beneficial. Both vary in purpose yet maintain a common focus on greater effectiveness and better results.
