Executive Leadership Skills Training-Development-Coaching

Why Look For Executive Coaching Services?

If you focus exclusively on merit and hard work as foundations to advancement, you’ll never achieve your full potential. The unfortunate truth is that career advancement is determined by the perception you create, not just skill and merit. Garfinkle Executive Coaching employs executive leadership and skills training to help you create the right perception so you will receive the promotions you deserve. You’ll make yourself visible to the people who have the power to influence your career. With leadership coaching and executive training development, you will learn to create impact, develop relationships with top executives and position yourself for political advantage. The more people recognize the value you provide, the better chance you have of influencing your advancement and making a meaningful contribution to your company.

One of our clients stated this reason for hiring an executive coach: “An accomplished professional from outside the company can quickly identify pertinent issues and obstacles, see through defense mechanisms and more effectively determine a strategy for overcoming these barriers to greater success.”

When to Look For Executive Coaching Services:

As you advance in your profession, you are going to have to be able to call upon a set of new skills to help you get where you want to go. These new skills differ from the ones you have used in your work to this point. The mindset that helped you get established early in your career is different from the mindset necessary to succeed at the executive level. Many of the characteristics that benefited you as an individual contributor will not translate to being an effective, strategic manager – and may, in fact, get in the way of your role as a high-level manager. Using executive leadership skills training, Garfinkle Executive Coaching will help you shift your perspective from someone climbing a narrow ladder alone to someone supporting and encouraging a group that must scale a mountain.

Garfinkle Executive Coaching focuses on the uniqueness of the client. This individualized approach also takes into account the organization, its culture and the client’s work relationships. By receiving objective, real-time feedback and counsel from the executive coach, the client is able to identify specific behaviors that can be improved immediately. As our client testimonials attest, this approach to leadership coaching and executive training development really works.

I want my salary to quickly rise, but that doesn’t seem possible in my current position.
I know there’s a political game to be played, but I don’t understand its rules.
I believe my work speaks for itself and I cringe when others shamelessly promote themselves. Yet they seem to be getting the promotions and I’m not.
Although my performance reviews consistently are positive, my colleagues have been promoted right past me.
I used to work on highly visible projects and received positive feedback. But now I am assigned less meaningful work and get little recognition.
I like what I am doing, but my work doesn’t play to my strengths. I feel underutilized.
My organization always seems to be restructuring and cutting costs. I don’t want to be the next victim.
I’d like to focus on ways to increase my responsibility and get promoted, but my current tasks require all of my time and attention.
My self-confidence sometimes exceeds my supervisor’s confidence in me.
There are times I second-guess my ideas, my convictions and myself.
I realize I need more skills before I can advance in my company. But I don’t know what those skills are or how to acquire them.
I’ve been involved in a lot of key projects, but my visibility in the organization is not high enough to receive major recognition.
My supervisor is a control freak. He won’t give me more responsibility or talk me up.
I’ve always been one of those people whose abilities exceed their confidence.
I am not recognized as capable and competent by upper-management.
There are many roadblocks that keep me from rising to higher levels in the organization
I lack opportunities for positive exposure and visibility.
When I try to assert myself, people often push back hard and tend to take advantage of me even in situations where I should have authority.
The company says they are committed to growing people, but there are no defined processes or roadmaps to help me advance.
I am too young, too old or have the wrong ethnic background to allow me to advance in the organization.

These scenarios are common to middle- and upper-management and can be mitigated by executive leadership skills training. If you made a lot of checkmarks, don’t be distressed. Joel Garfinkle can help! Contact Joel today.
