One of the secrets to a successful business is having effective leaders. While many business owners understand the basics of operating a company, they may not have the skills needed to lead. SD Mayer’s executive coaching services help to transform business owners into business leaders. Our coaches work one-on-one with our clients, offering support and guidance tailor-made to each individual.
Executive coaching helps clients maximize their potential. When you work with an executive coach, you build self-awareness through a collaborative relationship. The goal of coaching for executives is to drive transformational change in a business.
Coaching sessions are one-on-one and can take place in several formats, such as online, over the phone or in person. Throughout the coaching sessions, the coach works to understand a leader’s weaknesses and strengths. They use their understanding to develop personalized solutions to help the leader grow.
Executive coaching often uses one of several models, including:
Each model might take a slightly different approach, but they have many similarities. Each aims to uncover the leader’s reality and perspective, provide different points of views, set goals and determine the best way to move forward.
At the heart of executive coaching is a stable relationship between the coach and the client. The relationship should be built on a basis of trust and understanding. It’s important to understand that coaching isn’t the same as mentoring, nor is it the same as counseling.
With a mentor/mentee relationship, the mentor is typically an individual with more experience in a particular industry or line of business. They form a long-lasting relationship with the mentee, but it’s an equal partnership. The mentor typically has the job of providing their mentee with advice and tips for success.
A counselor typically provides guidance and advice to the people they work with, often with a therapeutic goal. Counseling typically looks backward and asks the individual to reflect on their past while also looking forward and planning for their future.
The world of business is constantly evolving. You need to become a leader who can plan for the future while considering the needs of your team members today. Having an executive coach allows you to start a conversation with someone you can trust. The conversation can cover your business’s long and short-term goals and your goals as a leader.
SD Mayer’s executive coaches work with you, asking you the questions you need to hear to better develop a business strategy and zero in on the most efficient and effective ways to manage your team and your company. Our firm is small, which allows us to dedicate time and attention to each client. You can be confident that when you reach out to your coach with a question or concern, it’s your coach who will pick up the phone or respond to your email.
We also take a holistic approach to coaching and understand that we must look at the big picture to help our clients succeed.
