Coaching for Executive Excellence
Talented leaders at the most senior levels face special challenges as they try to adjust their approaches to communication, management and team development in order to most effectively meet their complex and demanding responsibilities.
Dr. Judith Klimoff’s coaching for executive excellence aims to help top-level executives understand and recalibrate their leadership style through a customized, one-on-one process characterized by a maximum of confidentiality.
Goal: Judith helps top-level leaders fine-tune their workplace behavior in order to reach their full professional potential.
Process: Although every program is tailored to the client’s specific needs, it will usually include the following steps:
- Preliminary planning: Judith and the client agree on the goals of the program and decide how to measure success in meeting those goals.
- Initial assessment: Through psychometric testing and a detailed, one-on-one interview, Judith gathers information about the client’s career history, interpersonal style, leadership competencies and professional interests, seeking the common threads that run through a life’s tapestry.
- Feedback: Judith and the client review the findings of the initial assessment, outlining key strengths and areas where growth is desirable. This step may include discussion of how workplace issues affect the client’s sense of contentment and personal balance.
- Plan of action: Judith and the client develop concrete goals and outline specific, individually tailored behavioral strategies for achieving those goals.
- Coaching: As the client begins to implement the new strategies in the workplace, Judith offers support, encourages reflection on the real-world situations the client encounters each day, and helps come up with solutions to leadership challenges.
- Final assessment: Judith and the client discuss gains made and strategies for ensuring future career growth.
Time frame: Six months to one year — but clients often notice results much sooner.
