“Leadership is the art of finding the gold in yourself and then in those you lead; asking great questions that start with yourself.”
MICHAEL walker
We believe the most profound and impactful change a person can make begins with themselves. This is where the value of coaching truly shines. We would define coaching as a form of relationship-based mentoring focusing on personal accountability and skill development. We like to say it's about helping people find the gold in themselves!
Our influential leadership coaching framework is designed to help you create an intentional plan of excellence that starts with yourself, and then helps take you, your team and your organization to where you want to go. What’s great is that we will work alongside you at every step of the way, reassessing and making changes as needed.
CORE COMPETENCIES
We have designed our influential leadership coaching framework to target the key areas leaders need to develop to be successful. In organizational polls, a majority of CEOs stated that they struggle with:
1. ALIGNMENT
Rapidly changing technology, increased diversity and the rise of remote working have made achieving organizational alignment more challenging than ever before. How do you as a leader make sure everyone is on the same page, and moving forward in unity with company decisions and initiatives?
2. EXECUTION
Studies have shown that over 70% of change initiatives fail in organizations. The problem is not only how to properly plan and organize new strategies and projects, but how to effectively see them through to completion.
3. INFLUENCE
At the core of leadership lies your ability to influence others and leverage their talents and skills sets. But doing this requires that you are able to competently motivate, engage and inspire your people. Many leaders underestimate the importance of emotional intelligence, communication and conflict resolution skills.

COACHING FRAMEWORK
Our coaching is typically done in 1 to 2 hour bi-weekly sessions. However we can customize the session length and frequency to fit your schedule. The sessions are ongoing and billed on a monthly basis of which you can cancel any time with no cancellation fees.
We begin your leadership coaching with an introductory session where we map out your desired goals and areas of growth. From there we utilize our coaching tools and expertise in the competencies of alignment, execution and influence to help you reach your desired success. We will also use your real time workplace experiences and help you put into practice the tools and expertise you have gained. Furthermore, we will track your progress and celebrate your wins each session!
Personal Growth: We strongly encourage all our candidates to also select an area (or several) of personal growth outside of their organizational role for their coaching. Research has shown taking time to invest in your own personal growth outside of workplace goals can drastically improve your creativity and problem-solving skills. Not to mention it’s fun to do! Becoming a well-rounded individual will pay huge dividends in helping you develop your leadership toolbox, and your ability to lead yourself and others well!
