Emerging Leaders
You have invested a great deal of time and financial resources to get where you are and you know you have greater unrealized potential. Midlevel and rising leaders are often “sandwiched” between the demands imposed by the top and the needs of the operation they lead. You are often the recipient of delegated higher levels of responsibility and yet there are no additional hours in the day. You may have been identified for possible promotion and need to navigate the process.
Or, you have accomplished all you can in your current role and are ready for greater challenges!
An Executive Coach provides you with an intelligent, experienced, and unbiased partner with whom you can think through the challenges you are facing and identify new strategies to address them.
Emerging Leaders are often confronted with the following types of issues:
I have solid skills and experience; how can I gain clarity on what I need to do to expand my marketable skill base?
I feel complete with my current professional accomplishments; what new opportunities are out there and how do I get there?
How do I cope with the ever changing new and more complex technology?
I just got promoted to a higher position; how do I navigate the first 90 days?
What can I do to align the skill set of my staff to the changing needs of the organization?
My vice president is retiring and I am the chosen successor, how do I prepare to lead my former peers?
All I do is work; what can I do to restore balance in my life?

Manage information overload.

Develop success strategies for the first 90 days.

Non Profits Organizations and Boards
Non profit organizations face a different set of challenges than the for profit/private sector. Whether an educational institution, health care organization, association, or community organization, the common elements you face are: scarce resources, maintaining standards, sustaining trust within your scope of influence, managing board relationships and changing leadership, effectively using volunteers, and managing fund raising or fiscal stability. Often there are political stakeholders who influence or govern your industry. The people who work in non profit organizations are mostly motivated by the common good and making a public contribution is a paramount and heart felt responsibility.
