Executive and personal coaching might be a new concept for many people. Please describe what you do and the benefits your clients experience.
Executive and personal coaching provides clients with practical assistance in managing stress, achieving peak performance, and finding fulfillment in all areas of their lives. Since people's personal and professional lives these days are so interwoven, Leading Minds provides clients with services that are individually tailored to optimize work/life balance and integration.

Many of my clients are in the midst of a major transition in their careers - whether it be a job loss, or a belarus phone number resource promotion to a new leadership position, or some other challenge entirely. Oftentimes, they are also grappling with significant personal issues such as divorce, illness or death of a loved one, and other family difficulties. Following a careful assessment of each client's unique situation, I customize a coaching plan that supports clients in overcoming stress and identifying new opportunities. Together, we implement a strategic life plan that draws on the client's core strengths and empowers him or her to grow in exciting new directions both professionally and personally.



In what ways does coaching help leaders to inspire those they work with?
Coaching builds confidence and enhances leadership capacity. When an executive leader is both personally fulfilled and functioning optimally in his or her job, major benefits ripple throughout the entire organization. A successful leader inspires by creating a safe environment in which others can thrive and grow as people. As a result of receiving coaching, the executive leader is now better able to coach others along the same lines; and to empower directors and managers throughout the business to mentor their direct reports more effectively. In other words, when leaders embrace the philosophy of personal and executive coaching, they create corporate and workplace cultures that value employees as human beings with assets and strengths. When the leader has inspired a culture of coaching, employees assume the work roles for which they are best suited, learn strategies to adapt to change, and receive consistent support in dealing with the personal and professional transitions they are likely to face.
