“Successful people value and pursue ongoing development. They believe in themselves and understand that success depends on keeping their skill sets fresh.” . . . “They ask for feedback and input to confirm their perceptions and plans. By continuously investing in yourself, you affirm your own value and build greater self-regard.” – Judy Aanstad, PhD, Pamela Corbett, MA, Catherine Jourdan, MAEd, Roger Pearman, EdD.
The role of an “executive coach” is similar to that of a psychologist. As an executive coach, I provide listening, support, and encouragement, as I do as a psychologist. Yet as a coach, I also assess and explicitly focus your attention onto your strengths – the attributes that give you the “presence” and “charisma” to be an influential leader.

Leadership is Practical
A series of psychological assessments effectively assist you in exploring and developing a new refined leadership style, gentler perhaps, but more vigorous or intense at the same time. Be seen as kinder, but not a push-over or someone to be taken advantage of, more empathic and understanding plus with a stronger vision. Build your leadership reputation as a wiser leader.
Leadership is an Art Form
Everyone develops a “leadership style” and with each passing year, it becomes more entrenched. With the support of your executive coach, you’ll explore your style, blending facts and logic with intuition and emotion. You will become more keenly aware and in control of your weaknesses, allowing your strengths to vibrate and present themselves with passion. We call this cultivating “executive presence.” In essence, you’ll improve and develop your interpersonal and intrapersonal skills and strategy to lead effectively. You’ll be refining your “leadership style.”
6 Advanced Coaching Tracks to Improve Your Impact
Each model or protocol begins with exploration to develop an acute awareness and articulation of your current situation. Whether you fully realize it or not, how you conceptualize yourself, your style and situation, plus how you feel about it directly influences your outcome. I’ll refer to this as the foundation of leadership and self-care. We’ll aim to refine and improve your described state as a team of two.
Having identified your current and desired state, you will be given access to multiple valid and reliable assessments that can highlight your strengths and assist you in stretching yourself. Newly recognized strengths, skills, and strategies generate a new awareness that redefines the context in which you live and work. You’ll now have the opportunity to practice in real-world situations and to “internalize” your sense of how it feels to function at a high level.
The more you practice these potently practical skills, the more comfortable and skillful you will become in utilizing them. The choice is yours to make. Sign up for a complete program, combine two or more, or take one level at a time.
1. Emotional Intelligence
Build Your Executive Presence
Emotional Intelligence is often defined as the ability to perceive, use, understand, manage, or handle emotions. People with high emotional intelligence recognize their own emotions and those of others, use emotional information to guide thinking and behavior, discern between different feelings and label them appropriately and adjust emotions to adapt to environments. I offer support during your learning.
Make Yourself Effective
High IQ and a brilliant brain are less than effective in today’s business environment without above average awareness and skill in 1) self-perception; 2) self-expression; 3) interpersonal; 4) decision making; and 5) stress management. If you have no more ability than your average team member when it comes to reading your own emotions (and other people’s emotions) your Executive Presence will suffer. If you are a stranger to your heart and lack knowledge of what’s most important to you, your ability to relate to other’s motivations will be superficial. If you believe that you don’t have fear, but are always assertive, your ability to connect with others will be hampered. Like it or not, emotional intelligence is the key to happiness. Daniel Goleman, PhD.

5. Leadership Legends
Enlightened Leaders – When leaders exhibit a distinct set of characteristics, employees are more likely to find their work fulfilling, intrinsically enjoyable, and important, and they report higher levels of organizational commitment, purpose, and creativity. – Scott Barry Kaufman, Ph.D.
According to Dr. Kaufman, enlightened leaders / transformational leaders / empowering leaders exhibit the following characteristics:
Enlightened leaders
-
- lead by example. They set high standards for performance, work as hard as anyone else in the organization, and articulate clearly, with genuine enthusiasm, a compelling purpose or vision of the future for the organization.
-
- are good at informing employees. They make explicit links between the tasks of the job and the broader purpose and vision of the organization, make clear their expectations, and give honest and fair answers in response to their employees’ concerns.
-
- trust employees, explicitly stating their confidence and belief that the employees will meet their high expectations.
-
- engage in participative decision-making, downplaying power hierarchies, encouraging and giving all employees an opportunity to voice opinions, and using feedback to make decisions in the workplace.
-
- are good at coaching employees, providing help when necessary, teaching employees how to solve problems on their own, telling employees when they are performing well, helping them stay on task, and sometimes seeing greater possibilities for them than they may even see in themselves.
-
- show that they care about their employees, finding the time to chat with individual employees and get their feedback, figuring out ways of increasing well-being and meaning in the workplace, and assigning tasks that are challenging and will continually help their employees grow, develop, and feel a sense of authentic pride.
