Why Coaching

Many successful CEOs of Fortune 500 companies have an executive coach. We would find it strange if professional athletes did not have a coach. Educational professionals can reach their peak performance by working with a leadership coach. 

A professional coach forms a trusting relationship with a leader to help the leader grow in their position in a productive way. Professional coaching focuses on setting goals, creating outcomes and managing personal change by using the iPEC Successful Change Model which includes the following:

• Assess Current Situation
• Explore and Create options
• Choose option
• Create a plan
• Perform
• Look at results
• Assess Current Situation and start process again

In the center of this change model is Engaged Energy. There are many variables that can impact engagement. Part of the coaching process is addressing those variables to reach our goals and have your visions come to fruition. 

All leaders wish for more time in a day. Demands of the job often make it difficult to fully support a leader to reach their peak performance. We also know that leadership can be a lonely position and the more support a leader has, new to a position or not, is critical to their success. Leadership Coaching can assist with support and brings in a person from the outside that can be a sounding board for a leader to reach goals and meet expectations. 

Energy Leadership Index Assessment would be used to assess what energy level is used by leaders in “normal” situations and then also what energy level is used when a person is in a “stressful” situation. Coaching will guide leaders to be able to choose what energy level is appropriate. This is a powerful tool that guides leaders to professional growth and awareness.
