Executive Coaching

Are you a business owner or a business leader that has been conferred executive powers to lead a team or business to a set of expected outcomes? Then you understand all about the leadership and management of finite resources, don't you? You have probably earned this role as a result of your skills and track record of successful outcomes over a period of time.

Then, you have every right to expect that success and growth to continue! So, why might you be looking for a coach?

Albeit rewarding, stimulating and exciting, these roles can be extremely demanding and stressful, right? They can be full of political pressures to manage performance and increase results.

Do you find your role can be quite lonely, with no one to trust and talk openly with? When the competition is all around and performance cycles are becoming tighter and shorter, the "young guns" may have their eyes on your position. Appearing unsure can be construed as weakness, and constantly having your guard up can be very tiring. So, how much better could you perform if you didn't have to deal with corporate politics and be on the constant lookout for so many different personal agendas?


Metaphorically speaking, corporate executives need to have eyes looking in all directions: be aware of the expectations of boss and company (up), as well as peers (aside), subordinates (down), competitors (behind) and outside influences from clients, partners and vendors.

Just like any performance sport of today, business individuals recognise the need for a sounding board and running mate to stay ahead of the game.

  • Someone to think things through with.
  • Someone trustworthy who has no other agenda than to help you be the best and to exceed the expectations of those around you.
  • Someone that will listen to, test and intelligently challenge your ideas and ways of thinking. Someone that will hold you accountable for what you want to achieve. To ask you the tough questions that you might have overlooked; or that you weren't willing to ask yourself (yet).
  • To give you many more stimulating perspectives to any view, idea, initiative or plan.


Having your own executive coach is not to be considered a weakness.

It is a competitive advantage to be used professionally to sharpen your performance, exceed goals and become the best of the best that you can be.


The executives I have coached chose to work with me on the following areas:

  • Seeking new perspectives on visioning, programming, strategizing, planning, setting goals, KPI's, budgets, measures, outcomes, etc.
  • Gaining more clarity of how to apply and assert personal strengths, competencies and leadership styles to improve relatability, company visibility and outcomes
  • Fine-tuning persuasive and influencing skills
  • Pro-actively managing visibility, timing and results to better influence stakeholders that hold the power
  • Preparation for critical meetings, presentations, reviews and negotiations
  • Expanding ways of coping and maintaining productivity, while honing in on delegation skills
  • Scenario planning potential outcomes and working through the likelihoods, opportunities, risks and mitigations for each of them
  • Exploring and assessing new structural and procedural organisational variations and opportunities
  • Being a sounding board for tough decisions to consider all perspectives
  • Aligning personal, work and corporate values
  • Identifying and dealing with "blind spots", then enhancing and polishing soft skills and leadership qualities and finding styles that work for you
  • Enhancing personal performance; managing that of subordinates to find smarter ways to enhance and improve performance overall
  • Improving personal productivity through focused task & priority management; by substantially raising effectiveness in meetings and regaining control of email
  • Pro-actively managing career decisions to be continually prepared for the next opportunity

Do any of these aspects strike a chord with you? Would having a coach to work alongside you enhance your confidence and ability to significantly improve preparation and performance? Can you see the power in it? Can you hear the applause for your success?
