Executive Leadership Coaching

Being a high performer at one level does not automatically qualify you as a leader. Once people become leaders, they carry the potential to become legends. Develop as a resilient, relationship-driven leader, with the knowledge, skills and inspiration you need to lead teams towards great things.

Overcoming resistance to change

The speed of innovation is a key measure of success in today’s hyper-competitive global market. Companies simply cannot afford leaders who feel forced to work at half speed. Unfortunately, leaders often hit a wall of resistance to change from the very people tasked with implementing their vision. Understandably, these leaders can feel isolated and frustrated by such obstacles.

Lead your company towards great things

I advise leaders on effective communication so they can win the trust and support of their teams. Leaders learn how to build and maintain relationships and foster collaborative work environments that reduce pressure and motivate people to embrace change. The result is a leader who can take the company towards great things.

Navigating career transitions

Whether you are changing jobs within your company or taking up a position in a new organisation, it is essential to understand how to succeed in a different environment.

Many people are surprised that behaviour that worked in the past will not work in the new position. Professional expertise and technical skills are taken for granted. What matters is building effective relationships and adopting new behaviours that lead to success in the role.

Coaching helps you become more aware of behaviours that could sabotage your new position, in your company or in another one, over the course of your career.

Leadership coaching aims to align an executive’s actions with what success in the company requires.

Miro also works with clients who are looking for their next role in another organisation.

The scope of a coaching engagement includes:

  • Setting goals for the coaching engagement
  • Carrying out assessments using performance reviews, talent development or other tools available in the company, or established tools such as the skill matrix, Myers-Briggs and emotional intelligence tests, to understand the client’s natural behaviours and preferences
  • Giving input to the action plan, which the client writes, with milestones to be met during the engagement
  • Sharing the plan with the relevant stakeholders
  • Giving feedback to the client and stakeholders during the engagement
  • Following up periodically and adjusting the plan when needed

Time frame

Among other things, I work with clients in transition until they land their new role. The time frame can be adjusted to individual circumstances. Miro coaches in person, by phone or online.

Although we prefer face-to-face, e-coaching is increasingly the norm, because it is often hard to agree on a time and place for in-person meetings, especially across different locations.

Coaching can combine in-person, online and phone sessions. Whatever it takes to make coaching possible and successful.
