Executive Coaching

The goal of coaching is the goal of good management: to make the most of an organization’s valuable resources.-- Harvard Business Review

Organizations often target particular employees for Executive Coaching, for growth rather than remedial purposes. An executive coaching client is an individual who is willing and committed to achieve more of his or her full potential for the realization of personal and organizational business results. Typically the executive coach will agree on desired outcomes at the outset of the engagement with the executive and their organizational sponsor; from then on the conversations between coach and executive are confidential except for the periodic reporting of progress.

Renaissance Coaching provides this service across all industries and profit models. No individual has ever realized their entire potential in work or in life; therefore executive coaching is available at many levels, from CEO’s to project managers to people who are just beginning their management journeys.

With desired outcomes in place, the coaching process is not dissimilar to other one-on-one coaching. In a nutshell, the executive is encouraged to identify their particular strengths and gifts which they can build on in order to meet their own needs and the organization’s challenges. In a series of purposeful conversations, the coach and the executive embark on an action/learning process that moves the executive towards the outcomes desired. The coach/collaborator’s role is to act as facilitator, guide, challenger, information source, a source of support or encouragement , or whatever the moment requires, in order to help develop the new capabilities that the executive and the organization need now and in the future.

...other companies offer coaching as a prerequisite to proven managers, in the understanding that everyone has blind spots and can benefit from a detached observer.-- New York Times
