Leaders and Executives

Talent coaching is a counter-intuitive approach to personal and team development backed by more than 75 years of research by Gallup with measurable outcomes. It focuses on gaining insights to your true God-given talents and how you can enhance those talents to make yourself highly effective as a leader. Talent coaching also helps you to understand areas of your leadership where you need others to help, how to more effectively delegate, and areas of your life where blind-spots may be hurting you in ways you’ve never imagined.

In today’s culture, leadership and executive coaching has become a necessity for any leader who wants to make progress.

Talent Coaching for

LEADERS & EXECUTIVES

We will help you to accomplish more than you could imagine by coaching you around your God-given talents.

Your personal process of talent discovery, deep questioning, feedback, and dialogue will help you in ways that are far beyond anything you can imagine. Over time, as you begin to live with your new ideas of your talents, you’ll find things to do that will multiply your effectiveness, improve all your communication, and build an exciting vision for your future.

Through questions, feedback, and guidance, you will gain knowledge and understanding of your talents, plus a deeper perspective of how you were designed from birth that results in greater self-esteem and self-awareness. As a leader, you will gain incredible insights into how to work with other people and an appreciation of what they do well that you need to acknowledge. Your outcomes include better communication, productivity, trust, and stability.

Personally, I wouldn’t trust a leader who didn’t have some scars or battle wounds. And I wouldn’t trust a coach who hasn’t walked the walk and had the wounds to prove it.

Leadership Talent Coaching presumes that:
  • Only some behaviors can be learned (i.e., skills and knowledge)
  • Weakness fixing prevents failure
  • Talent building leads to success
  • Your natural abilities when clearly understood lead to amplified successes.

Stop spending time on your weaknesses or trying to be better at things that frustrate you.

Increase your energy and enthusiasm for what you’re doing.

Functioning within your natural talents, especially as you develop them into strengths, gives you more energy, zest, and enjoyment in your life and work. We will show you how to use deliberate practice to build your talents into strengths. We will guide you past your obstacles so you’ll stop spending time on things that weaken, distract, and prevent the successes that God wants for you. We will give you tools to use your time more wisely to do the things that have the greatest impact.

As you build your leadership talents, you will:
  • Find that your work and life become more enjoyable.
  • Find that your efforts and actions become more natural and instinctive.
  • Find that your time becomes more productive.
  • Find your “to do” list becomes clearer.
  • Feel that what you’re doing is what you should be doing.
  • Grow in confidence.
  • Become a better team player.
  • Recognize certain strengths in others.
  • Gain clarity of your work and purpose.
  • Find you’ll know when to lead, when to follow, and when to walk away.
  • Learn to mitigate your blind spots.

TEAMS & GROUPS

Coaching is for people who are doing well and ready for their next level of reality.
~ R.A. Weigel

You’ve worked with teams many times in your career. You know there are times when things work well and other times, well…things don’t go so well. But there is a way for your team to come together and work more effectively.

As a leader, you need to know your strengths as a carpenter knows his tools, or as a surgeon knows the instruments at her disposal. Yet, the carpenter doesn’t build a house alone and the physician needs a team to do the surgery. Every person on the team needs to have more than a job description in order to know how to use their natural talents to benefit the entire team.

 

A talent-focused culture generates superior performance. Teams with higher engagement levels have significantly higher productivity and results than groups with lower engagement levels.
  • Does your team lack direction or momentum?
  • Is your team members united?
  • Is there trust in your team for people to do what needs to be done?

Ask your staff which person they want to work for:

  • One who focuses on their talents? or
  • One who focuses on their weaknesses?
We’re pretty sure which leader your team would pick.

So… the big question is:

What type of team do you want?
