The coaching approach provided has been leveraged at companies/organizations including Bloomberg, The Economist, New York University, Dish Network, The NFL (National Football League), Merck, and members of the CIO Executive Council; see some testimonials from recent participants below.
These executive coaching programs include sessions held once each month for 7 months with a veteran leadership coach. The one-on-one sessions are 45 minutes each and the group sessions are one hour each.
The program begins by identifying 2-3 challenges or opportunities that will be the focus of the remaining sessions. Participants devote the remaining and bulk of the sessions, with the support of their leadership coach, exploring new ways to expand their horizons to maximize their results and impact as an IT leader.
The group program applies a proven Simple Leadership Life Cycle methodology to mentor each participant in addressing essential issues and opportunities. Participants learn from each other at the same time they learn from their coach.
In both programs, candidates get out of them what they put into them. The focus of each session is on helping you apply what you know in new ways, so that you achieve results that you were unable to achieve on your own. In between the live sessions you will be given personalized projects to help you improve your leadership performance.

Testimonials From Some Previous Candidates
"During our working sessions, the coach was able to help me recognize where I truly placed value, what I needed to do to clearly define my goals, and what behaviors and practices I needed to leverage to achieve them. I was amazed by the coach’s ability to quickly drill into specific areas of concern and provide resources to help clarify and sharpen my focus. While working with the coach, it became clear that a change was in order and rather than shy away from it, they helped me clearly consider my path and ultimately make the decision that was best for me. I highly recommend the program and more than that, a great all around resource for clarifying work/life choices that help you improve you!"
