Aegis’
clients are executives who are not satisfied with the
status quo and are ready for change.
It is not unusual for successful executives to express
longing for more self-confidence, purpose, passion, and
balance. They may not use those words, but that that is
often the ‘x factor’ which defines what’s missing in their
lives – personal and career.
The change can be defined in different ways, but
coaching works best when:
-
The desire
for change evolves from an internal dissonance. Ideal
clients are successful and dynamic and are able to
identify the something ‘more’ (or ‘less’) that is
missing.
-
There is
willingness to expand and enhance existing perspectives.
Executives are often isolated in their roles and welcome
outside collaboration.
-
There is
openness to having existing beliefs challenged. Clients
are hungry to step out of the box of limited thinking
and explore broader horizons.
-
They want to
write a different story for their lives. They want to
experience the juiciness of joyful vitality, and they
often just need permission to trust their instincts.
Here are examples of what some clients have said about
what they want from coaching:
-
"I know there
is change coming and I would rather be leading it than
be a victim of it."
-
"I am being
groomed for a high-level position and want to sharpen
all my leadership skills."
-
"I sometimes
think about our company being sold and living through
the hell of being bought and ultimately losing my job."
-
"I’d like to
be excited about what I do. "
-
"I hope to
gain greater insight into myself and the things that
make me happy professionally."
-
" I expect to
be going through great change in the coming months, and
I am hopeful that coaching will help me experience that
change in a positive way and make the most of the
opportunity. "
-
"I need some
tweaking in certain areas to determine what resources I
would need to accomplish a change."
-
"I don’t look
forward to going to work each day. I don’t dread it but
it doesn’t get me excited either."
-
"I’ve been in
this position for a long time, and things are getting
stale."
-
"I love what
I do very much, but sometimes I’m not balancing my
career with my personal life so well."
-
"There is no
support or recognition from my boss for what I do."
-
"I am getting
outstanding reviews at appraisal time; however, I am
struggling with self-confidence."
The process:
Coaching with a professional
coach is a seamless integration of coaching skills that
number in the dozens but which are unnoticed in the
coaching relationship with a client. At Aegis, we focus
on:
-
The heart of
leadership – what you do
-
The art of
leadership – who you are
-
The joy of
leadership – the difference you make.
Sheila describes her process in this way:
-
“I operate
from the client’s agenda. I am a non-linear coach, which
means that there is no rigid schedule of topics to be
covered. There is a structure to the coaching process;
however, the topics covered in each meeting are
dependent on clients’ ever-shifting needs. Ultimately,
everything falls together, the bigger agenda is
realized, and real leadership is unleashed.
-
“I slow
things down. There is no rush to a quick fix. The
commitment to an extended relationship allows time for
finding real solutions. Real leadership is unleashed
when we remember to breathe and access the brilliance
that is within. Albert Einstein said: Problems cannot be
solved by the same level of thinking that created them.
-
“I provide
wide open space to explore, define, eliminate, reframe,
challenge, celebrate. How many of you have someone in
your lives who is totally in your corner, totally
focused on your agenda, and totally committed to helping
you be your absolute best?
-
“I know with
complete certainty that the client has the solutions. As
the coach, I know that the client is creative,
resourceful and whole. As a skillful coach, I allow all
of that to be integrated into what the client does, who
they are, and the difference they make.”
