SERVICES COACHING Executive and customized team coaching is suitable for teams that desire intensive work toward clarifying and meeting specific goals. Executive coaching in leadership skills and advanced thinking is becoming popular as groups recognize its importance in team dynamics and becoming a more powerful organization. Some of the greatest "aha" experiences come about through coaching. Coaching contracts are individually negotiated after a free consultation. "Executive coaches are not for the meek. They're for people who value unambiguous feedback. All coaches have one thing in common, it's that they are ruthlessly results-oriented." FAST COMPANY Magazine "If ever stressed-out corporate America could use a little couch-time, it's now. Trust in big companies is at an all-time low. Baby-boomers have been burned; Gen Xers are''t expecting the Corporation to take care of them. Under the circumstances, employees are much likelier to go outside and get independent advice to help them be better managers" Karen Cates, Assistant Professor of Organizational Behavior, Northwestern's Kellogg Graduate School of Management.
"Between 25 percent
and 40 percent of Fortune 500 companies use executive coaches"
"Coaches
are everywhere these days. Companies hire them to shore up executives
or, in some cases, to ship them out. Division heads hire them as change
agents. Workers at all levels of the corporate ladder, fed up with
a lack of advice from inside the company, are taking matters into
their own hands and enlisting coaches for guidance on how to improve
their performance, boost their profits, and make better decisions
about everything from personnel to strategy."
