RENAE LEITCH - ICF Certified Executive Coach (PCC)

---

We have learned through first-hand experience that the technical skills that get senior leaders promoted to their current positions are not the skills they need to mobilize a team or an organization.

Even the best executives find themselves stuck in moving forward with their careers. Executive Coaching can change this.

Done well, Executive Coaching accelerates the process of professional growth and staff development. Our clients have compared their experience with us to condensing five years of reading about leadership into one 45 minute session.

Unlike traditional training, Executive Coaching focuses on supporting technically talented managers and executives identify and overcome the barriers blocking the path to exceptional performance. Issues that people get coached on are very personal, but some of them include:

• What do I need to do differently to get promoted?
• I have no work-to-life balance!
• I'm the boss and I am struggling. I need someone to process with, but not my staff.
• How can I work more effectively with my team?
• How can I get my ideas accepted by my boss?
• I've been told I need to listen better! Now what?
• How can I increase sales?
• I need a new start. I just don't know where to begin.
• How do I bring out the best in my staff?

Whatever your challenge, if it is getting in the way of work performance, we are here to help.

Our executive coaching is provided to you on a retainer basis for the duration of a contract. This means we do not charge per-session or per-hour; rather we charge a flat fee per leader for coaching over a specified period of time. During the time of the contract, we will meet with you through one-to-one coaching sessions (by telephone or in person); typically once every two weeks. Just-in-time coaching, if required, is included as part of our retainer.

If you would like to know more about Executive Coaching for you or your team, we look forward to exploring your questions.
