Problems with consultants telling you what to do

Brings about confirmation bias

So many times, consultants tell you what you want to hear,
not what you need to know.

Worthless and context-less solutions

Solutions are meaningless if they are provided
without understanding or being immersed in culture.

Reused solutions that are not tailored to you

Typical solutions are highly generic which have
little or no applicability to your situation.

No real ownership

They have little to lose, you have everything to lose.
No consultant takes a fall for their poor solutions.

Solution delayed is solution denied

Problems can morph into bigger problems or become
irrelevant if a solution takes too long to find and apply.

Executive Coaching Fundamentals

  • You need to be willing to be coached. The right coach will stretch your comfort zone, in other words, the right coaching will make you uncomfortable.
  • You are a part of a team that is in the best position to solve your organization's problems. You need the right frameworks and tools to enable collective problem solving happen.
  • Articulating and prioritizing your endless list of problems is the biggest problem that needs to be solved. The right coaching separates the music from the noise.
  • The best solutions without buy-in are not solutions at all. The right coaching brings the people together to collectively create transformative solutions to challenging problems.
  • Leadership development is not restricted for leaders. It is for all. It is about owning up. The right coaching will enable the spirit of real ownership.
  • Your clients, your shareholders, and your employees need you to step up and be the hero. The right coach will liberate the hero you were born to be.

Importance of Coaching

It is common to assume that only well known successful people have a coach. The belief is that first one should gain success and then engage a coach. Actually, that is not true. Well known successful people used a coach to get to where they are now.

It is essential to recognize that a coach is not a consultant or a teacher. It is not the job of the coach to tell you what to do or take the actions on your behalf. There is a famous proverb – “Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day; Teach a mean to fish and he will eat for a lifetime”. It is the coach’s job to empower you.

As Morpheus says in “The Matrix”, “I can only show you the door. You’re the one that has to walk through it”, We believe whole heartedly in showing you where the door is so that you can walk through it.

Being guided with the right questions will enable you to develop solutions to your problems and to create the success story you desire. This will be the most rewarding experience you will ever have.

If you are willing to be guided and to break through the barriers that stand in your way so that you can define and navigate your success story, then you are poised to get true value from our coaching sessions.
