ABOUT RICK FORBUS
Executive coaches are not for the meek. They’re for people who value unambiguous feedback. Employers are shocked at how high their ROI numbers are for coaching. Many of the World’s most admired corporations, from GE to Goldman Sachs, invest in coaching. I never cease to be amazed at the power of the coaching process to draw out skills or talent that was previously hidden with an individual, and which invariably finds a way to solve a problem previously thought unsolvable. All great executive coaches have one thing in common, it’s that they are ruthlessly results-oriented. In a recent study, training alone improved leadership skills by 22%. When combined with Executive coaching, improvement jumps to 77%. The benefits of coaching appear to win over even the most cynical clients within just a few weeks. A coach is part advisor, part sounding board, part cheerleader, part manager and part strategist. Once used to bolster troubled staffer, coaching now is part of the standard leadership development training for elite executives and talented up-and-comers at IBM, Motorola, J.P. Morgan, Chase and Hewlett Packard. These companies are discreetly giving their best prospects what star athletes have long had: a trusted advisor to help reach their goals. Stanford University Coaching Survey - “What’s interesting is that nearly 100% of CEOs in the survey responded that they actually enjoy the process of receiving coaching and leadership advice. Becoming CEO doesn’t mean that you suddenly have all the answers, and these top executives realize that there is room for growth for everyone. Most organizations conclude that they are moving away from coaching being perceived as ‘remedial’ or ‘correcting problems’ to where it should be something that improves performance, similar to how elite athletes use a coach.” \"What makes a great coach? The executive coach has credibility, creativity in solving problems, effectiveness in communication, as well as “an understanding that the details create success” - Set up a quick call now at D••••••@troveinc.comYou can begin your customized executive coaching or career transition plan by next week.
