WHAT IS HIGH PERFORMANCE LEADERSHIP COACHING?

We believe that the best way to accelerate growth for leaders and their organizations is to focus on and leverage their unique strengths. We have implemented and adjusted Best-In-Class coaching processes to tailor them to the distinct needs of high achieving executives. Our clients are CEOs and Senior Executives who have each developed their own success formula but also embrace the philosophy of continuous improvement and learning as a part of their growth process.
According to Stanford University’s 2014 Executive Coaching Survey, coaching is proven to be an accelerator of results and more than 30% of CEOs now have a coach.
Executive coaching is a growth accelerator and often used to help leaders promote and implement collaboration and integration:
  • 57.1% of CEOs are receptive to leadership coaching and feedback. This is good news for leaders and shareholders because senior executives understand that the ability to embrace productive change that increases long term ROI could be the difference between a good organization and a visionary one.
  • According to a study in the Manchester Review, executive coaching’s ROI is estimated at 5.7 times the initial investment in coaching.
