Executive Development
and Coaching

COHERENT CHANGE provides a systematic, personalized approach to executive development. We support leaders in creating practical development plans linked to both personal and organizational needs. Career desires, business needs, and life-work balance all enter in. As needed, 360 degree feedback is used to give leaders a better understanding of their strengths and development areas.

Executive coaching is the foundation for improved leadership. It is a critical tool for seeing oneself clearly: for compiling an accurate picture of one's true strengths. This helps executives use their fundamental strengths more fully to create better results. People tend to think they need to learn more about their weaknesses. In fact it is often more important to be aware of one's assets and to use them well.

We use proven methods of data-gathering and feedback or blend these with movement-based transformational experiences, as appropriate. This can provide vivid insight into unrecognized habits and patterns that limit change and growth.

Although personal interaction and leadership ability are called the soft stuff, making changes in these areas demands toughness, rigor, and commitment. We ask the difficult questions and listen with openness to our clients.

Achievements

• We have used 360 degree feedback for in-depth personal coaching with over two hundred senior executives since 1988, leading to genuine executive teamwork, promotions to more significant management positions, and improved leadership.
  
• We fostered pan-European thinking and action in the senior management group of a $250 million European division of a pharmaceuticals company. This facilitated a redesign of the organization that produced better business performance as measured by key business indicators.
