Executive Coaching Services that Strive for Extraordinary - Personally and Professionally

Serving clients for more than 2 decades, I am an experienced executive coach committed to help clients produce extraordinary results in both their personal and professional life. I provide ongoing professional coaching services where I build a strong and confidential relationships with my clients which is needed for good rapport and understanding.

This lays the foundation of trust and reliance which allows clients to share their inhibitions, challenges that they are up against and all the things that may be holding them back. The interactions between us help clients to progress forward with greater focus and self awareness thereby helping them bring out the best in them.

What is Executive Coaching? - How Do My Clients Benefit? In the words of one client:

“The cornerstone to her approach is growing one's own personal self-awareness, how you take in and process events, which we then internalize, take ownership and react to. There is an old saying that "life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react." And Melinda is simply the best in preparing you with how to react. Whether it be through emotional intelligence (eIQ) evaluations, MBTI, understanding how we as humans work, or a technique to see things from other perspectives, you will come away much better prepared for the everyday battles we wage.”

Executive coaching allows clients to focus on their goal. Simply stated, it is a structured process that is goal directed. Clients can focus on just about anything, such as complex leadership issues, professional and personal development, or behaviors that limit them from experiencing growth.

I work as a think partner and a coach. In the initial meeting, I use assessment techniques to explore and understand the root cause of the stagnancy in the client’s life which further helps me clarify the core coaching agenda. I help client’s identify their blind spots and challenges, increase self-awareness, and incorporate new ways on achieving their goals.

So, if you too want to move forward in life with greater focus and self-awareness, then sign up with me today!

You’re only a step away from transforming your life from ordinary to extraordinary.

Definition of Executive Coaching

Executive coaching is an ongoing professional and confidential relationship between the client and the coach.  It is a structured process that is goal directed.  As defined by the International Coach Federation, "professional coaching helps people produce extraordinary results in their lives, careers, businesses or organizations.  Through the process of coaching, clients improve their performance, and enhance their quality of life.  In each meeting, the client chooses the focus of conversation, while the coach listens and contributes observations and questions.  This interaction creates clarity and moves the client into action.  Coaching accelerates the client's progress by providing greater focus and awareness of choice." (The International Coach Federation Website, 2004).

What's Involved

In executive coaching, the process involves defining the specific goal to be achieved. As your coach, I focus on performance and the effectiveness in a present job, focusing on behaviors that have been limiting, focusing on personal and professional development for career advancement and often focus on the complex issues of being a leader.  As your executive coach, I often play the role of a thought partner where a variety of issues are discussed.  It can be lonely at the top.  Often, the use of assessments will be provided to bring about greater awareness of personality types and emotional intelligence.  The initial meeting is often an extended meeting to fully define, explore, and clarify the emerging core coaching agenda. Everyone needs an executive coach.
