Leadership coaching is considered one of the most impactful ways to help leaders perform better. It provides you with a safe space for exploring and addressing difficult and complex issues.
- You need assistance in solving problems or tackling tough challenges which seem beyond your abilities or experiences.
- You would like to move ahead more quickly and get further along your career path, but you don’t know how.
- You are starting, expanding, or turning around your organization or business.
- You recognize that, in the past, you performed your best sports, academics, or artswhen you were being guided by someone who understands the issues you confront every day.
- It’s highly personalized, giving the leader being coached a great deal of ownership—and accountability over the process and its success.
- Coaching’s personalized nature makes it constantly applicable, allowing the leader to tackle timely real-world problems during coaching sessions and to swiftly apply the lessons in the workplace for immediate impact.
- Unlike a number of other development methods, coaching can create sustainable learning and lasting behavior change.
A SPECIFIC CHALLENGE… an opportunity that you want to maximize; or a problem that seems beyond your scope to solve.
YOUR COMMITMENT… to fully discuss your strengths, opportunities for development, success, and failures, when you “speak straight”, and “deeply listen”, your coach can help you to find effective answers to complex issues you face.
YOUR RESOLVE… to make your own decisions. A coach is a resource, not an answer. A coach can ask the right questions, advise, and support, but the answers come from you, and the results you produce will be your own.
AN OPEN MIND, OPEN HEART & OPEN WILL… a willingness to be coached and to put new ideas and insights into practice.
COURAGE… the will to take bold action and to turn your vision into reality.
“DEEPLY” LISTEN… to what you say, what you are not saying, what you are trying to say, and what you are up against from your point of view.
SHARE INSIGHTS AND PERSPECTIVES… after fully understanding and appreciating the situation, he shares with ideas, comments, and views from a fresh and external perspective.
SUPPORT… After you take on a big challenge or find yourself in uncharted territory, you need the assurance of an outside voice of support, compassion, and encouragement.
CHALLENGE YOU… to be successful, professionally fulfilled and personally happy; to have a strong mental and emotional base; and to enjoy your life right now – not after “things work out”. To these ends, Rick makes bold requests… and challenges your best.
Wendell Berry’s poem, Our Real Work, captures the heart of our Leadership Coaching Journey. All development begins with being open to the unknown….. to do something different toward a better end.

Coaching sessions are conducted in cycles of 4 one-hour weekly meetings per month. The initial cycle is 3 months in length (i.e., 12 sessions). During this 3-month cycle, you can plan for, begin, work hard at, and accomplish specific “purpose-driven” Big, Bold Goals.
