About executive coaching
What is Plan4Change Executive and Leadership Coaching?
At the organizational level, executives work with Certified, Accredited executive coach and organizational psychologist, Dr. Andre Walton to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of all aspects of the business including its key personnel. We work with you to set goals and create the strategic plans to achieve them.
At the individual level, key personnel are coached to maximize their leadership and communications skills, their well being and emotional intelligence, and to develop better decision making capabilities using our Spherical Thinking™ processes.
Did you know that 67% of Americans have suffered from BURNOUT or know people that have? It is estimated to cost nearly $200 billion/year in healthcare spending alone, and $1Trillion if you include the cost to businesses!
Our unique proven customized Spherical Thinking ™ program addresses the demotivation, exhaustion, lack of sleep, depression and relationship challenges that accompany burnout. Our prediction and prevention program is designed for the early detection and prevention of burnout and helps avoid recurrence.
Along the way, these programs help you acquire skills such as increased emotional intelligence, better decision making and interpersonal communication skills.
The Strategic Plan
Having performed an analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the organization, I work with clients to establish SMART goals along with the plan and short term milestones to achieving them. The goal may be very specific such as finding a strategic partner, or acquiring a business; or it may be more general, such as improving productivity, employee morale, or reducing staff turnover. The goals are quantified and regularly assessed.
Some goals require a specific customized program. If the goal relates to innovation, our Spherical Thinking and Brainstorming programs may be appropriate. Also, expansion through globalization benefits from our cross-cultural program, which introduces cultural factors that can either disrupt or benefit marketing and communications for the unprepared.
Developing leadership and communications skills, and emotional intelligence are core values in all our executive development programs, which also include awareness training for the detection and mitigation of burnout.
In this and other scenarios, there may be a crossover between coaching and consulting. As a trained coach and organization psychologist, Dr. André Walton has extensive experience in both.
How can Business Coaching help my organization?
Executive Coaching contributes to your organization's success in many ways, including:
Establishing new goals. It is easy for a business to lose direction. Reasons for this include loss of a key associate, burnout, high staff turnover, an external traumatic event (COVID, for example), or changes in the market place. Coaching can play an important key role in getting a team back on track.
Developing new markets. Diversification by expanding geographically, by modifying existing products or services, or by developing or acquiring new products can play an important role in corporate survival and growth. At Plan4Change we have the expertise to guide you through these processes.
Another Set of Eyes. It can be lonely at the top, even if you are the primary decision maker with other board members by your side. An object view from outside the organization can give you confidence in your decisions, which improves the quality of those decisions, and reduces self-doubt and stress.
