Focus Areas
In Allan's approach to coaching executives, he highlights six focus areas that significantly affect a leader's ability to lead powerfully:
|
Leadership Influence and Impact
Are you among those solid contributors who focus solely on external factors and adapt other’s leadership style in a haphazard attempt to find your leadership style? Define/Refine your own Signature Leadership Style and gain competency in your ability to influence and empower others.
Impassioned Presence
Are you a leader "on paper" with degrees, credentials, positions, and titles? Or, are you a leader who conveys a powerful energy that engages and inspires people every time you walk into a room? Calibrate your authority and power as a leader and ensure that you convey passion and presence in all situations.
Power Alliances
Is your goal to "win" even by stepping on key relationships? While this may serve one's career for a short time, it will certainly derail any leader's career in the long run. Become an inspiring leader by mastering your ability to empower and direct relationships.
|
Communication Agility
In today's complex and diverse workplace, how well do you communicate with anyone and everyone you encounter? Understand your default communication style and expand your presence to become an agile and effective communicator in all situations.
Career / Personal Brand Management
Any top performer in today's work climate not having a proactive career management game plan (no matter how satisfied with one's current work) nor understanding and being able to articulate one's self as a brand is playing a game of Russian roulette. Effortlessly create a personal roadmap for your career that leverages you powerfully in the marketplace allowing for you to better navigate possible next moves that serve your career and personal brand.
Work / Life Integration
Will any lack of balance you're experiencing show up--at work, at home and in your community--and negatively affect your role as a leader? Yes. Gain the ability to integrate both the professional and personal aspects of your life by bringing an even greater degree of awareness to all key areas.

The coaching program consists of two phases.
Phase 1: On-boarding and BoldMoves® Leadership Discovery Process. The purpose of this two-month phase is to complete the following on-boarding components:
Upfront exploration phone calls to determine fit, define Desired Outcomes for the coaching and embark on the Leadership Discovery Assessment Process.
Complete a rich and introspective Leadership Discovery Process allowing you to take current inventory of your natural leadership strengths and core leadership values and beliefs. Understand your leadership personality profile related to how you get energized, communicate, make decisions and manage the mental demands of working with the current demands in your work role.
Attend a one-day face-to-face meeting to interpret the results of the Leadership Discovery Process, design the coaching relationship for follow-on coaching, define goals and leave with a ninety-day action plan to move towards your Desired Outcomes of the program.
Leadership 360. This powerful process of personal development is designed to provide feedback to you on 22 leadership practices from your own perspective as well as from the perspectives of your boss (or bosses), your peers and your direct reports. This 360-degree feedback data will provide you with an encompassing view of how you are perceived to operate in your current leadership role.
Follow-on coaching calls during Phase One (as you integrate the findings from the Discovery Day) are scheduled to allow time to digest and begin the action process.
A 3-way meeting is scheduled with you, your manager and Allan to review the Desired Outcomes of the program and discuss the process of measuring results and determine the manager's level of involvement in the Coaching Program.
Phase 2: Coaching. Weekly coaching sessions over a period of eleven months after Phase One is completed to move towards the Desired Outcomes of the Coaching Program. These sessions are by telephone, Skype and face-to-face meetings (depending on client location). In addition, one to two follow-on meetings with the leader, his manager and coach can be incorporated to assess results and accomplishments and sustainability of leadership changes defined in the Program.
