Make Your Way To The Pinnacle With Executive Coaching

By Tom Doerr


Executive coaching is a concept that is still not fully understood by the public. People tend to think that business moguls like Ray Croc, Bill Gates and Oprah Winfrey make it to the pinnacle of success all by themselves. Ask any business leader and they will tell you, nobody makes it to the top that way. Nobody.

Seeing business leaders as having reached the top of their game with no outside help is like believing that children are born fully functional and educated at age 18. It never happens that way. All business leaders begin as business newborns, so to speak, and they make mistakes along the way. The best and smartest of these will actively seek out help and coaching and learn from it.

All of us have pluses and minuses. We work within those parameters. Our pluses are our comfort zones, and we often work to hide our weaknesses. The smart leader seeks out the right executive coach who will help them better utilize pluses and turn the weaknesses into strengths as well.

American swimming greats Marc Spitz and Michael Phelps did not make Olympic history on their own. They may have had tremendous natural athletic ability on their way to the top, but without coaching, without coaches, Spitz and Phelps probably would not be household names.

Leaders need to be able to motivate their workers. Not all workers are the same, and not all situations are either. An Executive Coach can assist business men and women to reach the goal or goals they set for themselves. They can help with strategic thinking, team building, organizational effectiveness, and interpersonal communications, to name but a very few topics.

Competition in the business world in this downturn economy is fierce. Businesses thrive or die based on the leadership they have. If you are a leader or an aspiring leader, you need to be the best you can be. Your strong first step to the top is hiring an Executive Coach.
