Some say, “It’s lonely at the top!” But, it does not have to be that way.

Granted, top leaders must be very careful about what they say and do. Their words and actions are more powerful than others in their company. Still, with the right coaching from someone who’s only interest in the company is developing the leaders so that they can develop the business, top leaders can learn to lead, manage, and communicate at the appropriate levels.

Our executive coaches have the training and the experience to help guide and develop leaders at all levels within your organization. This is training and experience that your board members and higher levels have probably never had. Take a look at some of the topics we work with leaders on and see if the members of your advisory team, or higher level managers in your company, have enough expertise and experience to coach in all of them.

We are often asked, “What topic areas do you coach executives on?” That is a very good question that could take some time to answer. But, here are is a high-level list of areas where we have coached both executives, business clients, and community leaders. You and your team will not need coaching in all these areas, but we have expertise in these areas and more if you need it.

* Assessment Results
* Leadership
* Personal Growth
* Financial Effectiveness
* Planning
* HR and Talent Management
* Marketing and Sales
* Operational Effectiveness

In addition to coaching in all of these areas, our Executive Coaches have connections that can take your leaders even deeper into each specialty as needed. Both inside of our direct team and outside on our extended team, we have the connections you need to assist every member of your leadership team.

For more details under each of these topic areas, go to the Frequently Asked Questions page and scroll down to the Coaching Topics Question.

Executive Coaching is the fastest growing segment of the Professional Development Industry because it is extending down into all levels of the leadership organizational structure. It has been around for as long as there have been executives... (Indeed, Executive Coaching can be traced back nearly 4,000 years, when, in Exodus 18:13-26, Moses was coached by his father-in-law, Jethro, to create the first organizational structure.).

In today's fast-paced business environment, having an outside coach, someone who is not a member of your board, the leader’s boss, an assigned mentor from across the organizational chart, or simply a close friend advising top leaders has become commonplace in top companies.

There are five distinct levels of leadership that every leader must progress through in order to see their fullest potential. That leader will hold the whole organization back if they do not master each level.

John Maxwell’s “Law of the Lid” says that an organization can only achieve the level of success that is just below the organizations leader. The Coaches’ goal is to help the leaders they serve master each level of success as quickly as possible so that the organization will not be held back by any leader.

In technology companies they say, “The best way to screw up a team is to promote the best member into management.” You may have seen this as well. What makes a great individual contributor (drive, technical expertise, strong opinions, great attention to technical detail, the need to be hand’s on, etc.) does not always make a very good manager. What makes a great manager (attention to tactical details, short-range planning, weekly and daily project management, etc.) may actually derail a middle manager who needs to be more strategic in their thinking. And, so on.

Hiring leadership team members from the outside has it’s own potential problems. Does the business culture they were brought up in align with your company’s culture? How fast do they need to “prove” themselves? Do they really have the skills that they seem to have in the interview?

We coach leaders at all levels in the organization, from Members of the Board and the CEO to front-line managers because “Everyone needs a coach.”

Your engagement with your Professional Development USA Executive Coach will start with one or more assessments. This may be a verbal interview by the coach or someone on their team. It may also include more formal assessments in areas like Personal and Business Goals, Corporate Culture, Leadership Style, Learning Mode, Personality Traits, Emotional Intelligence, Key Strengths and Weaknesses, and much more depending on where you would like the coach to help you most.

After your goals are established and your coach gets to know you, you and your coach will settle into a rhythm that will challenge you and will help you grow as an Executive Leader.

A typical coaching call will include the following areas of questioning:

1. What is on the top of your mind?
2. What has happened since your last coaching call?
3. How are you doing against your stated goals?
4. Let's brainstorm ideas and next steps.
5. What is coming up between now and your next coaching call?
6. How else can your coach help?
7. What are your next steps?

Granted, every coaching call and coaching engagement is unique. But, there is a lot of power in the questions above, especially in questions 3, 4, 5, and 6.

The first step in Executive Coaching is getting in contact with a coach and setting up a free consultation. We will start with a 30 to 45-minute call where we will discuss your needs and ask a whole lot of questions. You can ask as many questions as you like as well.

Based on this discussion, you and the coach will decide if you should proceed with a leadership assessment, a business assessment, or another meeting.
