Growth Coaching for
CEOs and executive teams typically involves membership in Vistage
International, the world’s leading CEO and key executive membership
organization with nearly 14,500 members in 16 countries. In both
peer group meetings and private one-to-one sessions, we focus on:
Vision: Many entrepreneurs and executives who
run organizations mistake dedication to their business for a vision
of the future. As a result, many of our coaching relationships begin
with an exercise to define a view of their future in order to crystallize
a strategic direction. Together we pick a timeframe, such as five
to seven years, and then describe what the organization will be,
have and do at that point in time.
Our simple GRI Vision Worksheet (see below) organizes
this process. But all business and no play makes people dull and
stressed out. To address the personal side of this equation, we
also use the worksheet to define what our client “wants to
be, to have, and to do” . . . an exercise very few business
executives have ever experienced.
Business Planning: With the future vision/goals
defined, the CEO or key executive works through a GRI Executive
Strategic Plan format (see below) to clarify all business
issues, establish yearly goals propelling the plan towards the organization’s
vision, identify and plan major overarching strategic initiatives,
then clarify the “must do’s” for year one.
Once year one is completed, a simple GRI Annual Strategic
Plan (see below) can be employed to review the past year’s
performance and create goals and initiatives for the subsequent
year.
Personal Development: Charting a path to transform
our personal vision into action steps requires focus on the six
principle areas of our lives: finance, relationships, emotions,
intellect, health & well-being, and spirituality. We help the
client define a state of “perfect 10,” identify their
current state, and then implement actions to raise their status
towards their ideal. Our format is based on the work on Dr. Tom
Hill and his Vistage workshop, Designing for the Exceptional
Life (see below).
