The number of people calling themselves an “executive coach” can be overwhelming and few are truly qualified to create lasting change. Carlann and Propel Forward’s other coaches have spent over 25 years coaching executives in many of the world’s most impressive companies. We use a blend of expertise in executive coaching, behavioral psychology, and change management to ensure leaders who engage in coaching act and think differently – not just while they are partnering with us, but long after. We even put that guarantee in writing.
Here’s Why Companies Call Us:
Focused on Root Cause:
Many coaches just provide temporary fixes, saying “You’re doing this, try this instead.” Our focus in on the source of the issue. We guide the leader in uncovering the past experiences, subconscious thoughts, and outdated beliefs that created the ineffective behavior.
Clear Success Measures:
All of our executive coaching services start with clear objectives that capture the results the leader is eager to reach and reflects the changes the boss wants to see. These objectives serve as the roadmap to design a customized approach that ensures success. We check-in on a routine basis with the leader’s manager to ensure observable results and adjust our approach based on that feedback.
Executive Experience:
At Propel Forward, every coach is a highly accomplished company executive who experienced the pressures and expectations of employees, executives, investors, Board of Directors and the public. That is why we use a blend of coaching, mentoring and consulting. Any advice comes from practical experience, is tailored to the leader’s situation and is immediately applicable.
Behavioral Change Expertise:
There are usually traits or behaviors that undermine the successful application of executive competencies. We are experts in behavioral change and probe deeper than most coaches to address the thoughts and beliefs that are unintentionally anchoring undesired behavior. This allows the leader to change themselves at a deeply profound level.
Success with the Toughest Leaders:
There are many times when we are asked to coach a “last-chance” leader. Often they’ve already worked with a coach, but it didn’t result in change. We don’t shy away from these challenges because we know how to get this person to hold up the mirror and acknowledge how their behaviors and actions unintentionally created the perceptions.
Early Notification of Coachability:
On very rare occasions, a leader may have impenetrable walls of defensiveness or have a condition that impacts their ability to accept coaching. As experts, we assess this quickly, so you don’t waste money and time.
Numerous Certifications:
Our team are certified experts. We adhere to the American Psychological Association testing, measurement and ethics requirements. We are certified on numerous highly validated assessments. This ensures we have the best data to assist your leader with change.
