Realizing Potential Case Studies
The Global Executive Vice President of a leading telecommunications company was stymied by his highly motivated and competent, but fiercely independent executives. Shrinking resources and budgets made it critical that the executives learn to work as a team.
Ellen formulated a strategic and tactical executive leadership program she called “One Way Together.” This high-impact approach included individual, candid executive coaching; lively team coaching that revealed people’s strengths and contributions; addressed the “What’s in it for me?” question; and engaged participants in activities that instilled a win/win attitude. With Ellen, the company and its people realized greater business achievement and heightened visibility of success.
Caring candor and business savvy works!
A high-potential, extremely bright Vice President of a leading internet security company lacked executive presence and people skills. His Executive Vice President engaged Ellen to be his coach. Her first job was to overcome the Vice President’s fear that the coaching was a criticism of his talent and potential.
Ellen helped him understand that the coaching was, if fact, an investment in his career. His wall of resistance tumbled down.
Together, Ellen and the VP developed a straightforward, logical engagement process. He learned how to be positive and uplifting to his colleagues and to motivate his employees. As he gained self-confidence, he exuded executive presence. He was promoted and later became the President of a start-up.
Executive presence can be learned.
A partner at a prestigious Top 4 consulting firm noticed the positive difference in a manager who was receiving disciplinary coaching. The partner reflected that he did not feel at ease in partner meetings and chose to engage Ellen as his personal executive coach.
In just 2 sessions, Ellen helped the partner identify the root cause of his anxiety – the fear of being “found out,” that his peers thought him undeserving of the position.
Ellen gave the partner assignments that instilled positive new attitudes about his competence, followed by actions to uproot his fear. Ellen offered a safe environment, a sounding board, an accountability partner and a trusted advocate. The partner gained and exuded self-confidence, achieved greater advancement, and most importantly, reaped peace of mind and greater fulfillment.
