Imagine having an objective and committed partner to work through the issues that you are facing. The executive coaching process is not only about increasing or improving performance, it is also about shifting the way you see and interpret the world, which allows you to choose new actions aligned with your goals. It creates new thinking required to solve today’s problems and identify tomorrow’s challenges. Executive coaching gives you the opportunity to examine your choices as a leader in a confidential and candid setting.

The goal of executive coaching is to “take you from where you are…to where you want to be” and to enable leaders to effectively compete and win in tomorrow’s markets. Executive Coaching helps to define success, achieve goals, implement strategies, manage change, accelerate projects with very tight time constraints, and dramatically improve results.

We specialize in working with leaders and emerging leaders. CEOs, executives, and senior level professionals aim to achieve exceptional results, yet still balance personal lives. We focus on individuals who are at the top of their specialty — of their profession — of their company. We also work with teams to accelerate corporate and individual growth, as well as achieve extraordinary outcomes.

Are you investing in your high potential leaders? Leadership is the most important contributor to a company’s sustained success, and all businesses must retain their top leaders and develop a pipeline of talent to prepare for the future. Investing in people with executive coaching is one of the best ways to develop and enhance existing talent. Participants emerge from coaching with self-knowledge, a clearer sense of direction, and increased engagement, which has a measurable impact on the bottom line.

Deborah Huyer, our Executive Coach here at People Biz,  has years of experience working with top high tech companies such as Modus Media, Concur and WhitePages.

“Deborah’s coaching supported me in making significant improvements in my leadership skills, creating my own definition of success, and being true to myself.

Harvard Management Update noted:

IBM has more than sixty certified coaches among its ranks. Scores of other major companies have made coaching a core part of executive development. The belief is that, under the right circumstances, one-on-one interaction with an objective third party can provide a focus that other forms of organizational support simply cannot. And whereas coaching was once viewed by many as a tool to help correct underperformance, today it is becoming much more widely used in supporting top producers. In fact, in a 2004 survey by Right Management Consultants (Philadelphia), 86 percent of companies said they used coaching to sharpen the skills of individuals who have been identified as future organizational leaders.”Coaching has evolved into the mainstream fast,” says Michael Goldberg, president of Building Blocks Consulting (Manalapan, New Jersey), whose clients include New York Life and MetLife. “This is because there is a great demand in the workplace for immediate results, and coaching can help provide that.” How? By providing feedback and guidance in real time, says Brian Underhill, a senior consultant at the Alliance for Strategic Leadership (Morgan Hill, California). “Coaching develops leaders in the context of their current jobs, without removing them from their day-to-day responsibilities.” — Taken from Harvard Management Update, Vol. 9, No. 12, December 2004
