Executive Advisory

I help Corporate and Professional Services Leaders explore, discover and awaken their purpose and path forward,
supporting them over hurdles in their personal Transformation Change journeys.

The Executive Advisory approach expands beyond traditional “coaching” to include two critical organization-specific elements:

  • ”Environment” (e.g., deep understanding about the organization and “water in which we swim”)
  • “Action” (e.g., practical suggestions about strategy and tactics for “what to do tomorrow”)

Traditional
“Coaching”

Environment

Action

  • On-boarding
  • Stretch-roles / promotions
  • Stagnation / development
  • Reorganization / merger integration
  • Covid “new-new”
  • Exit transitions

Critical transition points with significant
change-hurdles especially benefit
from Executive Advisory

Enquiries are initiated by the employer and/or individual employees

  • Largely referred by word-of-mouth, across a breadth of client profiles and industries
  • Engaged only where there’s great “chemistry”

I support my clients by drawing from a pedigree consulting history with clients across a variety of environments

  • Like a mountain guide for executives, I aspire to help clients see the bright sky, take in the mountains, avoid the loose rocks and have a clue about what to do when lost in the dark.

Executive Advisory
Encompasses more than just “Coaching”

Coaching

Environment

Action

Heartland of traditional “executive coaches” and psychologists

  • Personality types
  • Leadership styles
  • Behavioral change
  • Developmental journeys

They are not typically familiar with your industry,
company, role or action options

The reality of the organization and “water” in which you operate

  • Vision & Mission
  • Strategy & Goals
  • Culture & Politics
  • Organization structure
  • Key stakeholders
  • Team dynamics
  • Informal networks

Practical, real-time application through strategy and actions

  • Purpose and Branding
  • Roles, goals, strategy
  • Risk-appropriate tests options to consider
  • What, specifically, to do next (why, where and when)
  • Recognizing, monitoring and adjusting

Clients often seek us out at critical change hurdle
