Executive Presence Private Coaching
Projecting your unique brand through leadership communication
Turpin’s executive presence private coaching builds the skills and self-awareness leaders and emerging leaders need to project executive presence (sometimes referred to as “leadership presence”), communicate clearly, and improve business outcomes.
The First Step:
The first step in the process is a phone meeting between you (the executive) and one of our certified Executive Presence coaches. We call this phone call the “chemistry meeting.” It’s important to the success of the engagement that both parties are comfortable working together and mutual trust and respect are present. Following the chemistry meeting, goals of the engagement will be established, options will be discussed, and an action plan will be put in place.
The Next Steps:
- 360 Assessment & Coaching: You participate in the Bates Executive Presence Index (ExPI), a 360 assessment, which provides leaders with an in-depth analysis of their ability to influence business outcomes. During the coaching process, which at this point focuses exclusively on presence, the perceptions of important stakeholders – peers, direct reports, and managers – are compared with your self-perceptions in order to identify strengths, needs, and gaps. Through this process, which is based on the work of Suzanne Bates, author of All the Leader You Can Be: The Science of Achieving Extraordinary Executive Presence, you’ll gain a clear understanding of what Executive Presence means for you, how it affects others, and how it shows up in everyday business conversations, meetings, and presentations.
- Communication Coaching: Building on the 360 assessment and coaching, work will shift to polishing your communication skills during meetings and presentations. The overarching goal of this work will be to assess and build on your existing skill set to help you communicate clearly and project your own brand of executive presence. We want you to be the most effective speaker and leader you can be. The issues targeted will be unique to your situation; however, the following is a list of what we typically work on.
During the communication coaching sessions, you will be video recorded. Each video will be reviewed immediately after it is made. Through this process, you’ll identify what’s working and pinpoint areas to improve. This will help you achieve the objectivity you need to succeed. Through various exercises, you’ll work on skills and techniques that work uniquely for you.
Copies of The Orderly Conversation and All the Leader You Can Be are included.
NOTE: All of our executive coaches hold the Bates ExPI™ (Executive Presence Index) Coaching Certification.
