Do You Need an Executive Coach Online?

Executive Coaching Online - Save Time and Effort

Executive coaching is about helping you look within yourself for the ultimate answer in life: What is my vision, and why am I not achieving it?

You see, most people will never ask the question, even if they know they're not fulfilling their potential. Great, you're a business executive with a nice salary, but are you happy? Are you the happiest and most fulfilled you could possibly be? Do your achievements match your innate abilities?

You probably know if you're not fulfilling your potential. If you're not sure, you're definitely not fulfilling it. And if you think you are, isn't it best to get someone who's impartial to be the judge?

You may have a vision, but you're not sure how to go about chasing it. Or you may want a vision in life, but you can't focus enough to define it.

Either way, I possess both business and life coaching skills you need to help you define your brand of success and focus all your efforts on delivering it.

Turn Your Vision into Your Reality

As your leadership coach, I'll lead by example. I'll explore your weaknesses, your strengths, your dreams, your abilities, and every facet of your mindset. Why? Because if I think you have it in you to achieve your version of success, I'll drive you hard to fulfil that potential.

My brand of executive coaching is direct, brutally honest, and unforgiving of excuses. But I'm excellent at what I do, so I make no apologies.

Would you want someone who hasn't succeeded in life to host your executive coaching sessions?

Of course you wouldn't.

You'd want someone who has a long track record of achievement. And that's exactly what I bring to the table. With 11 businesses and a major non-profit already under my belt, I've been walking the walk for close to two decades.

So, if you're looking for a business coach to help you realise and achieve your vision, I can help. If you're looking for guidance as you take the next step in your career, I'm here for you. Get started by contacting me today to book an initial discovery meeting, and let's unleash your potential together.

What Is Executive Coaching?

Think of executive coaching as a learning experience. But rather than learning hard skills, it involves learning about yourself.

If you're an entrepreneur or businessperson who wants to maximise your potential, strike the perfect work-life balance, or achieve your ultimate goal, you'll benefit from this form of coaching if your talents—however well they're hidden—match your ambitions. However, you'll also need the determination to succeed and the humility to accept stinging criticism.

My job involves elevating your self-awareness to deliver transformational change.

Yes, I know, change is a dirty word to some people. But that's why you're here, right? If everything in your life were hunky-dory, you wouldn't need my help. Coaching, by definition, involves embracing change as a force for self-development. That's why I'm often referred to as a career change coach.

Why Do People Turn to Executive Coaching?

Most of my clients turn to me for one of three reasons: They require leadership development, they want to fulfil their potential, or they want a better work-life balance. Of course, there are other reasons, but the common denominator is nearly always the need for change.

Think about it. Are you really giving your best? I'm not talking about long hours or sacrificing your personal life for your professional life. Are you delivering the results you know you're capable of? My guess is that you're not, which is why you're here.

Whether you're running your own business, working your way up the career ladder, or trying to pursue your ultimate vision for life, you're right to turn to an online coach for executives.

What Does an Executive Coach Do?

It's hard to put labels on what I do. I've created my own coaching culture that I'm pretty sure you won't find anywhere else. I take a cold, unbiased look deep inside the psyches of my clients to ascertain their skills, weaknesses, and goals in life. I then attempt to bring all of them together in the pursuit of the client's vision.

Whether your vision is related to making money, achieving a senior leadership development role, or simply developing a healthier work-life balance, I'll be brutally honest in an attempt to help you look within yourself for the answers...for the motivation to keep going when things seem hopeless.

When you're receiving help from my London-based coaching practice, you can expect a personalised program designed to help you in the following ways:

Improve Your Leadership Skills

I'll use a series of proven coaching tools to make you a better, more decisive leader who people choose to follow. My approach to leadership coaching begins by showing you how to look inward to assess your capabilities and weaknesses.

Boost Your Professional Development

A lot of business executives stop progressing and simply tread water when they hit obstacles and setbacks. Through my own experiences, I know how to get past these issues.

Give You an Accountability Mindset

Even when errors and setbacks aren't your fault, you must always take accountability for them. You must always focus on how to avoid them in the future.

Enhance Your Networking Skills

You don't have to like the people you work with in order to benefit from their association with you. I'll show you how to improve your social interactions and work relationships in an effort to advance your career.

Make You Happier with Your Life

With my coaching expertise, you'll finally learn what's important in life. That could be anything from being a millionaire to spending more time with your family. Once you know where you're going, getting there is easier than you think when you reach your full potential.

My Approach to Executive Coaching

I'm not going to lie: My methods aren't for everyone. Let me start by saying that I don't give a s**t what people think of me. I didn't reach my version of success by worrying about things I can't control.

When you turn to me for executive and leadership coaching, you'll have to be honest. You'll also need thick skin. You need to hear the blunt truth about your abilities, weaknesses, and the mental roadblocks that are holding you back. These are the kinds of things your family, friends, colleagues, and subordinates would never say to your face.

I do things differently than they do at the International Coaching Federation. Whether I'm working with senior team leaders or entrepreneurs, I begin by setting my client's destination in life. I then focus on setting the goals needed to get there in stages. This requires planning and a range of systems to help you stay on the right path.

Think of my life coaching approach as a satellite navigation system. We'll set the destination, choose the route, plan our pitstops, and create a series of driving strategies to ensure we get there as quickly as possible.

Yes, we may hit traffic. We may even hit roadblocks. But that's the great thing about my coaching approach—the system always recalculates the route. I created my VISION GPS process to give people a clear route to their ultimate destination in life. And throughout our coaching period together, we'll use it to ensure we're always on the right track.

MY CLIENTS SAY

What to Expect from My Coaching Sessions

We might address some of the specific areas of your executive profile that you wish to improve. For example, time management coaching can help you work smarter and free up time for leisure. Communication coaching can help you in a range of areas, including employee engagement. And when further insights are apparent, I won't hesitate to raise them with you.

I use a range of exercises and approaches to improve the careers of executives in a number of areas.

Leadership Development

Whether you're a CEO or a human resources professional, my methods will help you lead courageously and with conviction.

Self-Awareness Exercises

You won't be able to change and improve as a business executive if you can't or won't identify the mental roadblocks and biases that are holding you back.

Growth Mindset Development

Developing a growth mindset is a game-changer for most people. It's what most coaches strive for, as it ensures every professional decision someone makes is done with a view to becoming better.

Self-Confidence Development

I'm also a confidence coach, which means I'll work with you to change the way you think about yourself.

Honest Feedback

This is non-negotiable. I never deal in b****it, and I won't accept any from you. You'll never achieve your vision or become a better executive if you can't be honest or accept honest criticism.

Work on Personalised Success Strategies

Whether you're a C-suite executive looking to take the next step or a successful entrepreneur learning how to strike a better work-life balance, I can help with learning strategies based on your needs, objectives, and challenges.
