What is Executive Coaching?
EXECUTIVE COACHING IS REPEATED, PURPOSEFUL, AND FOCUSED ATTENTION ON THE GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND DESIRED RESULTS OF THE COACHEE. EXECUTIVE COACHING LEVERAGES THE POWER OF FOCUS AND VISION THAT CAN TRANSFORM YOUR LEADERSHIP PRESENCE AND RESULTS. “Much of what managers do in the workplace – how they sell ideas, run meetings, manage others, and communicate – is so well routinized that the basal ganglia (the part of the brain where neural circuits of long-standing habits are formed and held) are running the show. Trying to change any hardwired habit requires a lot of effort in the form of attention. This often leads to a feeling that many people find uncomfortable. So they do what they can to avoid change. Focus is power. The act of paying attention creates chemical and physical changes in the brain. Attention density shapes identity. Repeated, purposeful, and focused attention can lead to long-lasting personal evolution.” The Neuroscience of Leadership by David Rock and Jeffrey Schwartz The International Coach Federation (ICF) states that coaching is about “partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.” Leaders often benefit from a thought partner for support and guidance when dealing with complex challenges and opportunities.

A Systems Approach to Executive Coaching
TRANSFORM YOUR LEADERSHIP PRESENCE AND RESULTS WITH A SYSTEMS APPROACH TO EXECUTIVE COACHING “The world we have created is a product of our thinking.

I have also had the privilege of working with many hundreds of coaching clients. As a result, I have come to realize the significant impact that our learned systems have on the dreams we are willing to dream, the challenges we take on, and the goals and results we strive to achieve. We all have systematic ways in which we interact with ourselves, others, and the world. These systems are learned along the way. For the most part they run in the background without our being aware. With self-awareness, we can interrupt them, we can evaluate their effectiveness, and we can change them. The interacting elements of our learned systems are our beliefs, perceptions, habits, expectations, and assumptions. When you are aware of your learned systems, you realize you can create new beliefs and perceptions. With new beliefs and perceptions, you have new expectations and assumptions. With your new expectations and assumptions, you experience a change in attitude. Your changed attitude facilitates new thoughts and behaviors and supports the creation of new habits. New thoughts, behaviors, and habits can...
