Executive Coach in Minneapolis MN

In addition to having held C-suite and executive positions, I myself have been an executive coaching client on three occasions. In each I was selected because I was considered a “high potential” manager. My opportunities included strengthening my communication style and certain aspects of my working relationships.  I have undergone 360-degree assessments, taken an array of questionnaires, and received follow-up coaching.

The dual experience of having been on “both sides” of the executive coaching relationship is one that I believe is truly valuable to my clients and to their organizations.

My experience as a practicing executive coach in Minneapolis has led me to believe the “one size fits all” approach is not effective. In practice, I’ve seen multiple modes of executive coaching be effective. That said, the thread through all of them is a deep and consistent focus on communication, collaboration, and leadership. I find these most critical for success.

I believe that consistent behavioral changes are necessary to improve effectiveness.  A behavioral change may be as simple as holding your team to higher standards, or as complex as tailoring the way you communicate with individuals. But it’s not a “one-shot” deal.  It’s about making adjustments that are sustained, acknowledged and recognized – by your subordinates, your peers, and your superiors.

Formally, I offer three executive coaching options. Whether you’re looking for an executive coach in Minneapolis or are interested in virtual executing coaching options, I have solutions. I invite you to explore my services and decide what fits your current needs.

1on1 Custom CEO Coaching >>

Sometimes a CEO needs an independent perspective and a sounding board. Professional advisors who have an existing professional relationship may not be completely objective. And they may be understandably reluctant to have direct, penetrating, and open discussion about the challenges facing the CEO and the company.

I’ve been active as an executive coach for five years, both as a “stand-alone” service and in tandem with other services. See the ways I’ve helped CEO’s as their 1on1 executive coach in Minneapolis/St. Paul and around the country.
