Cutting-Edge Insights
Ignite Courageous Leadership
One of the event’s central themes is Courageous Leadership, a crucial trait in today’s fast-paced and uncertain business environment. As a coach, your role involves nurturing this trait in your clients. By attending, you’ll gain in-depth insights into what courageous leadership truly means, how to foster it, and how to overcome barriers to its expression.
Amplify Your Client Impact
The ability to coach for courageous leadership can dramatically enhance your clients’ ability to take decisive action, embrace change, and face challenges head-on. This will significantly amplify the value you provide as a coach, setting you apart from others. As you help your clients thrive in their roles, you’ll be able to attract more high-profile clients, command higher fees, and elevate your coaching practice’s financial success.
As a corporate coach, your effectiveness is measured by the tangible impact you make on your clients’ businesses. Understanding the nuances of Corporate Alignment, its role in strategy execution, and how to achieve it, will equip you with the tools to drive your clients’ teams towards common goals more effectively. This increased effectiveness translates into substantial value addition for your clients, positioning you as a sought-after coach.
By bringing such transformative changes to their organizations, you can command higher fees, attract more high-value clients, and ultimately, increase your practice’s financial success.
Enterprise-wide Business Partner™
We need to move beyond traditional coaching constructs for ourselves and our leaders: to one of being an
Enterprise-wide Business Partner™ (EBP)
to invoke a 360° – approach to coaching by considering all aspects of our clients…their organzation, their competitors, the environment, the government, economics, social justice and their personal lives.
Apparent singular client issues are no longer isolated and as coaches we must pay attention to everything our clients touches.
Coaches who believe in being Enterprise-wide Business Partners™ (EBP) with their clients
“These coaches help transform the lives of those leaders who transform the world.™”
In this role, the EBP approaches the engagement through a systemic lens and wears many hats.
As a “business partner,” the EBP can pivot, depending on the situation, between coach, trusted advisor, mentor, and consultant.
The EBP does not shy away from complexity and fully embraces the messiness in which their clients often find themselves.
The EBP comes with a 360º, multi-level perspective and belief system that embraces the client in the room while being completely aware of the impact of those not in the room.
The EBP knows the organization, the competition, the market dynamics, and much more.
As a result, the EBP becomes an integral part of the organization.
Expanding the Possibilities
Any combination of these issues can present a perfect storm.
