Other than Dr. Brusman's successful clients,
what does the media think about coaching?
"Executive
coaches are not for the meek. They're for people who
value unambiguous feedback. All coaches have one thing
in common, it's that they are ruthlessly results-oriented."
FAST COMPANY |
"Asked
for a conservative estimate of the monetary payoff from
the coaching they got, these managers described an average
return of more than $100,000, or about six times what
the coaching had cost their companies."
FORTUNE |
"The
goal of coaching is the goal of good management - to
make the most of an organization's valuable resources."
HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW |
"…others
companies…offer coaching as a prerequisite to
proven managers, in the understanding that everyone can
benefit from a detached observer."
NEW YORK TIMES |
"Career
management coaches…can identify missing skills
or style difficulties and other pragmatic tips…"
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
|
"Across
corporate America, coaching sessions at many companies
have become as routine for executives as budget forecasts
and quota meetings."
INVESTORS BUSINESS DAILY |
"They're
part therapist, part consultant—and they sure know
how to succeed in business."
NEWSWEEK |
"A
coach may be the guardian angel you need to rev up your
career."
MONEY |
"The
benefits of coaching appear to win over even the most
cynical clients within just a few weeks."

Dr. Brusman is a licensed psychologist and transformational personal,
career and business coach. He believes coaching is a collaborative
process of providing people with the resources and opportunities
they need to self manage, develop change resiliency and become
more effective. We utilize career assessments and other emotional-intelligence
based instruments. Clients set clear goals, make optimal use of
their strengths, and take action to create desired changes aligned
with personal values. Employee training development is augmented
by career assessment and career coaching.
While the coach provides feedback and an independent perspective,
the client is responsible for taking specific action steps to produce
the results he or she desires. It is a means for achieving sustained,
far-reaching change...for developing new solutions to leadership
problems...and for bringing insight and understanding to bear on
the factors that guide and shape behavior.
Maynard is a member of the International Coaching Federation;
Marin Coaches Alliance; San Francisco Coaches; and the Professional
Coaches and Mentors Association. He earned the designation Professional
Certified Coach by The International Coach Federation. He is an
instructor for the College of Executive Coaching, where he teaches
courses in assessment-based coaching and marketing your business.

Corporate Coaching
Executives
Background
| • |
The
research of Goleman and Boyatzis shows that the key indicator
of failure for young executives is their inability to develop
empathy. |
| • |
The research of the
Gartner group shows that the key factor in retaining high quality
employees is having a favorable relationship with their supervisor
where they experience the opportunity being treated like an
adult and given the chance to grow and develop. |
| • |
The research of Metrix
Global shows that coaching generated improvements in retention,
cost savings, productivity, work output and sales and 69% of
improvements were attributed to coaching. |

From a study of 100
executives from Fortune 1000 companies conducted by the Manchester
Group:
• 5.7 times the initial investment in coaching is recaptured
through coaching
• 53% improvements in productivity in execs receiving
coaching
• 48% improvements in quality from execs receiving coaching |

Clients
perform under pressure as team members, team leaders and
as individual contributors. Client
works directly on the unique challenges he or she confronts.
Issue identification, clarification
and resolution the desired goal. An
executive management coach observes the daily interactive
process of the participant, and provides direct face-to face
consultation. The executive management coach brings fresh
perspectives to problems, and helps remove hidden obstacles
to performance. For example, the executive coach helps the
participant look at the individual personalities and styles
involved in work team dynamics to devise strategies for success.
Executive coaching works on levels deeper than simple how-to
techniques. The discovery and implementation of core values
is one kind of organizational transformation that can subtly
shift workforce attitudes from the top down. This can lead
to an atmosphere of corporate enthusiasm and optimism that
is ultimately reflected on the bottom line.
As today's leaders find themselves
increasingly challenged, they realize that they must find
ways to transcend traditional limits. The
executive management coach incorporates relevant examples
from scientific and systematic research, different cultures,
successful sports franchises, as well as from the media.
These examples help to broaden the client's horizons and
create a learning context that fosters creativity and innovation.
With a coach as a committed and personal
partner, participants utilize improved perspective to choose
where to focus attention and resources. They
overcome obstacles that previously limited or frustrated
them. They develop their ability to perform consistently
at optimal levels focusing on improved results.
Executive coaching helps participants
transform stress into optimal performance, and use the kinetic
energies inherent in change as a source of strength. Continuous
learning, change resiliency and enhanced performance is the
response to challenge the executive coach promotes.
Executive coaching is designed for
an individual's unique needs and circumstances. The
process, however, usually has three major steps.
Step 1: Contracting
We collaboratively develop a mutual
understanding of the coaching process, expected outcome,
specific issues and time frame of the coaching. The
Executive Coaching process typically spans a minimum of six
months.
Step 2: Assessment and Development of
Action Plan
A structured interview, data collection
and relevant employee skill assessments to clarify competencies,
values, interests, work styles and other key factors are
employed. 360 feedback performance
appraisal and in-depth dialogue of relevant issues focused
on performance improvement. Executive Coach and client collaboratively
create a development plan that includes developmental targets
and effective strategies for change. |

Step 3: Implementation
Coaching consists of weekly one to three hour coaching sessions
focused on insight, motivation, problem solving, skill acquisition,
career development and solutions aligned with client's vision.
The Executive coach:
• Observes client's behavior and helps him/her observe themselves.
• Creates a partnership with clients engaging in a dialogue
of mutual influence.
• Gives respectful, candid feedback to both client and company.
• Operates with the highest standards of honesty and integrity.

Leadership Coaching
Coaching for leadership focuses on effective, practical interpersonal
skills and techniques supported by situational leadership theory.
Key concepts addressed include emotional intelligence, group dynamics,
coaching, trust building, collaborative management, recognition
and rewards, change management and influencing skills. Executive
management coaching provides practical tools for developing positive
relationships at work and improving performance. Specific skills
developed include identifying strengths of self and team members,
delivering effective positive feedback, process observation, cultivating
significant peer relationships, rewarding employee behaviors in
non-monetary ways, responding to conflict, and developing a positive
atmosphere for communication.
An increasingly popular and powerful means for leaders and managers
to get information on their performance is the 360 feedback performance
appraisal. Used independently or as part of a management development
program, 360-degree feedback can enhance self-awareness by highlighting
what managers, peers, subordinates, and customers see as an individual's
strengths and development needs. The objective of a 360 feedback
performance appraisal is to improve the competencies, skills, and
behaviors of a single person or group of individuals. A customized
set of competencies for a specific position is developed and individuals
are assessed on how well they demonstrate the desired competencies.
Organizations use 360 feedback performance appraisals for team
building, training needs assessment, performance feedback, promotion
and succession planning, management development, organizational
culture change, and leadership alignment.

Work/Life Balance
Time/Self-Management
Maintain a satisfying balance between work and private life.
Some of the signs that a person is
chronically “distressed” are
constant feelings that everything is urgent. Racing through the
outside world may well parallel what is happening internally, as
the body and mind are unable to keep up the pace. If this rings
true as a description of your usual activities; you will benefit
from learning how to manage time, plan activities and set goals
and fulfill them.
