“This has been a very beneficial experience. The personal value to me has been a real motivator. Nothing we’ve discussed really came as a surprise to me except the ‘why” which was a revelation – I couldn’t have done that without your help. I have gotten great comments (about the changes in my behavior) from both bosses. Thanks for your support!”

Whether you are a business owner, senior executive or someone headed in that direction, getting help to enhance your effectiveness as a leader is a strategic business decision - one that can transform your organization and greatly improve business results. A recent study indicates the ROI of leadership coaching can be as much as 13:1!

 

"I have found Marilyn's approach to be both fresh and enjoyable, while delivering top-notch results. I would classify her among the best and brightest of the individuals I have encountered in the coaching and team building arena...insightful, engaging and extremely productive. She provided vital support to me as I struggled with some important business decisions."

          Leadership Development

Business leaders, or those aspiring to be, need very different competencies than those they lead. Not everyone with good technical skills is capable of envisioning an organization's future and identifying, teaching, inspiring and leading others to follow them to achieve it. Whether you are already in a top leadership role or moving up to a role with greater responsibility, you probably need to learn new skills or make a style shift in order to achieve more effective results. An experienced executive coach can help you identify and maximize your strengths, provide meaningful learning experiences and candid feedback to promote necessary growth and improvement, as well as hold you accountable for execution in order to achieve your goals.

Leading Together New!

Group coaching sessions for senior leadership teams facilitated by an experienced executive coach and advisor that uses your organization’s real-time business challenges to transform a collection of talented contributing individuals into a highly functioning and truly collaborative team capable of getting things done together and delivering results!

 

          “Fixing Attila the Hun” TM

Every organization has at least one key executive or other manager who is highly talented, but unfortunately also has the people skills of 'Attila the Hun' – demonstrating unproductive behaviors that intimidate or alienate subordinates, co-workers and customers. Getting that kind of feedback can be hard to swallow, but if taken as a development opportunity, it does not have to be a career derailer. Working one-on-one with an experienced coach, you will learn to understand and take ownership of problem behaviors, as you are guided and encouraged in a process of learning, practicing and mastering new relationship skills to achieve agreed-upon performance objectives. With the right motivation and support, coaching can result in a dramatic transformation!

What was thought to be a good thing in the past can present a real challenge in today’s business environment where agility and innovation are critical for success. We'll help you move beyond the 'comfort zone' approach that's always worked in the past and transition from thinking that having technical expertise is all you need to be successful. Working with an experienced performance coach, you'll learn to identify the 'blind spots' that are impeding your professional development and embark on a course of improvement that builds on strengths designed to help you to achieve the 'raised bar' expectations of stellar performance.

"Thank you for the coaching you have provided. It has been a great experience to work with you...we are blessed to have your commitment to our organization."
