Executive Coaching
At the CWC, we consider growth a critical part of life, as well as part of any business organization, and we offer several services for businesses and business executives. This could include leadership development, talent assessment, workplace resolution, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) training, or one of the most common: CEO (executive) coaching.
About Executive Coaching
The CWC has a long history of working with high performers such as business executives, entrepreneurs, and professional/elite athletes, to optimize their performance and improve job/life satisfaction and resilience. We approach executive coaching from a behavioral, holistic, strength-based, and wellness lens. It is a comprehensive process that integrates these four pillars.
Comprehensive
The process mimics traditional executive coaching beginning with a need’s evaluation and a 360-degree feedback assessment.
Behavioral
The CWC is a behaviorally oriented practice meaning we identify adaptive and maladaptive behavioral patterns, and focus on introducing new behaviors that will improve performance and build resilience. This could include individual behaviors such as exercise, office layout, communication styles, etc.; could be organizational such as planning a retreat, tools for running staff meetings, team building, etc. This pillar is founded on the science of learning theory, motivation theory, and CBT.
Holistic
Finding balance between the mind, body, and spirit are critical to reach optimal performance. This pillar is tailored to each individual and company culture. There is no pressure to become anything you are not, rather, the emphasis is on finding a homeostatic state.
Strength-Based
Every high performer possesses strengths and weaknesses; and high performers really focus on the weaknesses (or areas of growth). The 360-degree feedback assessment along with the coaching sessions will highlight areas to growth, while also building upon those strengths that already exist.
Wellness
Wellness is an intentional commitment to healthy living and is personal and individualized; There is no one plan that works for everyone. Making choices that become routine will foster a state of mind and internal peace, that is termed wellbeing. This pillar will solidify the executive coaching process and help each high performer maintain the gains made through this executive coaching process.
Executive Coaching Services
As a practice specializing in improvement of how we think, feel and behave, the Counseling & Wellness Center, LLC is equipped to assist individuals, groups and large organizations to improve their performance. Executive coaching begins with a consultation and a needs evaluation, before establishing a program specifically designed for the client.
No matter the scale, people management is a skill that can be learned and must be fostered at any level; whether entry level or CEO executives. Leadership development at the CWC resembles executive coaching and integrates the four pillars (behavioral, holistic, strength-based, and wellness lens), but focuses mostly on communication styles, motivation theory, personnel and organizational management, and human resources. This is more directive.
With the training in psychological assessment, the CWC is equipped to assist in hiring processes to ensure that candidates meet the organizational culture while identifying strengths and weaknesses to predict success. There is some science to this, but the art is interviewing candidates and providing report cards to businesses on their talent.
The CWC uses a behavioral mediation model to allow parties with a workplace conflict to resolve the issue, building stronger character, and then return to work. The process is individualized to the presenting workplace conflict, and is outlined in the contract prior to commencing the intervention. It typically starts with a needs assessment, interviews, and then a remediation intervention.
While it seems this area is new to businesses, the CWC has been committed to DEIB training since the early 2000’s when our founder, Dr. Pete, traveled to Tanzania and other developing countries, to share the world. These consulting services could assist businesses in integrating DEIB in their current culture and policies, managing a DEIB conflict for a business executive, coaching individuals or small groups on anti-racist practices, offering restorative justice circles to a group, and more.
