Executive Coaching Solutions

Approach

Our business purpose is simple: We help leaders and executives become more productive and deal more effectively with time and energy depleting problems and issues.  We call what we do “coaching.”   This approach translates to positive reinforcement as opposed to meddling interference.

We provide tools and processes that help individuals focus on leadership, teamwork, conflict and change management, and stress-reduction.  The coaching services and resources we provide generate positive bottom-line results by emphasizing (a) personal growth in strength areas and (b) risk reduction through effective problem avoidance and conflict resolution.

Situation

For the past twenty years, Challenger has coached managers and high-potential employees.  Sometimes, our work is reactive: When an executive’s productivity is eroding, or when bitter infighting occurs, or when a leader’s working or personal habits have become problematic, action must be taken.

Our role is sometimes also proactive.  We are experienced business people who help executives deal with professional and personal growth plans—and we do so very effectively.

Executive management responsibilities are tough work.  Combining this with a tough economy today tends to unmask many more of these problems faced by organizations.

Solution

Challenger has developed a variety of processes, tools, and programs to assist in a leader’s development.   Tailored to the particular needs of executives and leaders, they are based on three beliefs:

• Individual Trust
• Organizational Leadership
• Collaborative Work

Individual Executive Coaching

Our Individual Coaching solution helps people change and improve their style, confidence, and personal behavior.  Change and improvement within an organization happen when individuals know and get what they want and have the confidence to go after it.  Individuals have the power to change a system, not the other way around.  You can only change a system, one person, at a time.

Intake.  Get to know each other session and process.  Gap analysis and survey to identify both performance and personal improvement opportunities

Development.  Use of the ™Challenger Leadership Index to identify motivation, interests, values, and leadership style.  This index is designed to help each individual have a clearer and more comprehensive view of him or her self, particularly in relationship to others

Implementation.  Formulate individual strength development plans including strategies and tactics to capitalize on individual assets.  This tailor-made plan leads to increased business productivity, sounder leadership direction, and improved personal wellness.

Rapid Action Coaching

The Rapid Action Coaching Program is an intensive, one-on-one, short-term coaching engagement.  Unlike Challenger’s other coaching programs which focus on the participant’s current and future growth and development, Rapid Action Coaching is focused on providing the sponsoring Company with an objective view of what might be the best next steps for the employee.  This is done quickly and efficiently through a combination of multiple assessment measures as well as ongoing direct contact with a Challenger Coach over the course of 30 days.

After conducting an initial needs analysis, the assigned Challenger Coach will then spend one full day with the participant in-person, followed by weekly scheduled sessions via phone.
