CEO and Executive Coach

We understand the huge challenge leaders are facing as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. In these troubled uncertain times, successful leaders are demonstrating unparalleled agility and making unprecedented tough decisions. As workplace paradigms shift, leaders must deploy the leadership skills that optimize – not just manage or improve – performance and results.

VPs to C-level executives of mid-size to large companies are leveraging executive coaching to manage up, down and sideways, improve trust, accountability, performance, and remote leadership skills. However, extensive case studies have revealed that while most executive coaching services are helpful, they deploy standard questions and practices that fail to produce optimum solutions.

If you are ready to optimize – not just manage or improve – your performance and results, then an Optimal Thinking coach is for you. We coach you to deliver optimum solutions, generating the maximum return, far in excess of our fee.

While there are many intangible benefits of executive coaching, we calculate the ROI by defining the benefits obtained in monetary terms (where possible). Here is our formula:

Benefits Obtained – Coaching Cost X 100

What to Consider When Choosing A Senior Executive Coach

  • 1

    Who has the executive coach worked for?

    While everyone has to start somewhere, it’s far too easy for someone to say he or she is an effective executive coach. The most valuable executive coaches have an exemplary track record of coaching executives that stretches decades.

  • 2

    How courageous and principled is the executive coach?

    Will the coach stand up to a powerful but sometimes destructive CEO, a leader who expects unmerited rewards, or a visionary who’s squandering their potential with sub-optimal conflict management or disaster contingency plans? Too many coaches give in to these clients.

  • 3

    What has the executive coach published and where?

    These days, it’s very easy to self publish a book and claim to be a best-selling executive coach or expert. It’s quite another to have several books published by major publishing houses in multiple languages, revered globally by the best and brightest executives.

  • 4

    What sets the executive coach apart?

    A seasoned professional understands your issues, and consistently asks the best questions to elicit your most constructive responses. You want a coach whose thinking rises above your competitors so that you will as well. An optimal thinking coach empowers you to make the greatest difference, maximize opportunities, resources and the toughest situations.

  • 5

    What is the executive coach’s ultimate offer?

    At the end of each session, you must have no regrets (no should have’s or could have’s) because you’re aligned with your purpose and maximizing your value. You’re contributing your very best in your career, your life, and every situation. You’re not settling for second best!
