As kids we had coaches to help us learn a sport. For those who became elite athletes and turned pro, they continued to have a coach to further develop and master their craft. It should be no different in business. Executives can also benefit from a coach who will help them hone their strengths and minimize their weaknesses. My role is to work with a leader walking them through this five-step process:

1. DEFINE the executive’s goals.
2. ASSESS their skills.
3. SET a development plan.
4. COACH to that plan.
5. EVALUATE our success.

Generally, these engagements last 3 – 6 months and involve assessments such as Hogan Values Inventory, Hogan Potential Inventory, Hogan Challenge Inventory, BEST Communications, or a 360 Assessment.
