Dealing With the Reality of Life at the Top

The Directors of DTC have all worked at executive level within large organisations

• We understand the very real pressures in the role

• We have first – hand experience of defining a strategic direction within a tough business

• We have experienced frustration and anger at office politics

• We have worked with people who expect us to deliver more than we possibly have time for

• We have worked with extremely talented people and with people who simply don’t perform at the highest level and we have had to deal with this

• We have had to juggle the need to think strategically whilst sorting out the day-to-day chaos of operational life

• We have been working on a rewarding project only to find someone or something has moved the goalposts and we have needed to back-track or change direction fast

• We have had to champion a corporate project that we don’t fully believe in

• We have introduced change that is likely to meet with considerable resistance

• We have had moments of exhilaration when we have really achieved something special

The above are only examples but hopefully illustrate that we have some very relevant and real experience of working life at executive level. This experience has strongly influenced our approach to executive coaching.

Our Approach to Executive Coaching

A relationship with one of our coaches will be like having a challenging and confidential supporter who will:

• Believe in you and your capacity to excel and help you to learn from your setbacks and your successes

• Create an environment where you can reflect away from the distractions of a busy life

• Have the conversations that you find difficult and that you have been putting off

• Listen to you without judgement and understand everything from your perspective

• Ask you challenging questions that will give you insight, make you think about new behaviours and deliver results

• Provide you with feedback on the impression you give with your words and actions

• Help you overcome the blockages (that you have probably put there yourself!)

• Keep you moving towards your goals

We use many different coaching techniques including our Challenge and Insight Portfolio which helps us to make rapid progress on the key issues.

Our coaching is completely confidential. However we do aim to deliver success for the organisation as well as the individual. The organisation can expect to benefit from:

• Effective leadership

• Peak levels of productivity and effectiveness

• Creativity and energy

• Focus and prioritisation

• More for their money!

We have a strong team of executive coaches who are all highly experienced and credible people. Please ring and speak to Andy, Ann or Brian in the first instance for further information.
