What
is your coaching approach and philosophy?
We bring out the best in you while following YOUR agenda, not ours.
There is no parenting or therapy. Instead you get big requests. You
are heard. You are listened to and championed. You have everything
you need between your ears; our job is to evoke solutions for you.
How
do you work with me?
COACHING is really an advanced form of relating, a special technology
of elevated inquiry and deep listening - a set of specialized communication
and relating skills.
- LISTEN to you, not just your current situation – you are
truly and safely “heard”
- SUPPORT you while making
changes, solving problems or going for your own personal best
- CHALLENGE
you to do things differently or just Go for It – yet
it’s always your choice because it is your life
- INSPIRE
you to stay focused (no parenting in coaching) while championing
you on
- GUIDE you because there is no single correct path: you
create this path for yourself
- ASK you powerful, provocative questions
at the right time in the right manner that need asking, even
those left unsaid
- COLLABORATE instead of passively listening and
actively co-create with you
- DEVELOP you inside-out to transform
your life into what YOU want it to be
- UNDERSTAND in a patient,
caring, respectful way of sharing wisdom and insights
- STRATEGIZE
to help identify your best solution to “How
will I achieve that?”
- REQUEST you to act so
that results can happen (versus just “talk” about
things)
- MAKE distinctions in language for a deeper
understanding of what’s
being said
- MODEL the competencies you are seeking
by showing instead of telling
- DANCE with you by
being flexible and focused on your agenda
- PROVIDE extensive resources
and technologies not generally available to you
What
is your partnering process?
The essence of The Accelerator Coach is its partnering with leaders
and their companies to produce high-performance results. We work
closely with you to clarify the measurable results you want, discover
the strengths you can leverage, and identify areas for accelerated
improvement.
We define competency as an underlying characteristic - i.e. a motive,
trait, skill or knowledge - which results in effective-to-superior
performance. We then customize your services, building upon our
wealth of resources, in key competency areas such as Leadership,
Relationships,
and Profitability.
