Individual Client Emphasis - Coaching for Growth and Personal/Professional Development
I combine my research and training in psychology, with classic martial arts perspectives to I help my clients learn to think as strategists as they pursue specific goals, and as warriors as they fight their personal and professional battles. I help them develop a greater sense of control in their own lives and focus their energies more effectively -- because, from my perspective these are the clearest paths to achieving lasting success. Basically I see 1 on 1 executive coaching as falling into three major, frequently overlapping, categories...
Success and Business: These types of challenges vary widely -- anywhere from helping you sharpen your leadership skills and career management instincts within an organization, to helping you jump start your entrepreneurial mind set.
The goal, however, is always narrow and specific -- develop the personal strengths, interpersonal savvy and unexpected strategies that will help you make a substantive impact and lead to real professional success.
I believe that everyone hits the target they aim at -- dead center -- every time. Unfortunately, most of us are either aiming too low; or else we're simply going after the wrong target.
Inner Life and Self: Here we focus on your overall sense of self and the satisfaction you get from your profession, family, friends, and daily existence.
For some this means learning to balance hard-earned success in a way that gives you the life that you actually want. For others, generating the spark of genius and courage you need to take your life or attitude in a whole direction.
I believe that if you want different (better) things to happen in your life, you need to do things differently (better).
Sometimes, living the life you want simply comes down to having the heart, spirit and courage to make it happen. This thought is exciting for some and scary for others -- but it's true for everyone.
Personal Performance Coaching: From my martial arts training I seem to focus a lot of attention on preparing my clients, and myself, for the moment of truth. In sports and business, they call it "crunch time" -- the subtle and valuable art of being able to do your best when you really need to be your best.
This capacity is what separates pros from amateurs and winners from losers, more then any other. In many ways this ability lies at the heart of the martial arts, the world of business, and ultimately, the art of living a fulfilling life.
Clearly, within each of these arenas, there is a sea of options. From my training and experience I have come to believe that what stands between real success and us is our ability to master life's three most fundamental challenges: change, crisis and conflict. As you continue reading, think about these challenges in terms of your work and your life.
