Executive Coaching

All stars and champions understand that natural ability is only one of the factors of their success. Another factor, perhaps of even greater importance, is the professional coaching that has been and continues to be an integral part of their career. Whether operating at their peak or working to overcome a slump that could derail their career, they all understand that they can neither become a champion nor stay a champion without the help and guidance of a professional career coach. According to Ara Parasheghian, the legendary football coach at Notre Dame, “A good coach will make his players see what they can be rather than what they are.”

Leathers Milligan’s executive coaches can help your current and future leadership go from where they are today to the realization of their full potential and full value to your company. The Leathers Milligan executive coaching model is the framework of the relationship wherein there exists a close, integrity-driven partnership between the coach and the individual; a collaborative process that takes place in an environment of confidentiality. The Leathers Milligan executive coaching philosophy is built around the objective of individual and organizational “Mutual Gain,” a concept that helps us guide your high potential employees through the development and adoption of the skills necessary to be prepared for future challenges, and help highly talented people in leadership positions overcome personal traits and characteristics that would likely derail their career if left unchecked.

Leathers Milligan executive coaches will use a variety of assessment tools that could include 360 degree instruments as well as skill-based psychological and organizational testing and interviews within the relevant environment to discover the gaps that will suggest specific areas for development. This process will establish a clear basis for the executive coaching relationship with the individual by exposing specific areas of developmental need, provide clarity to the roles and responsibilities of everyone who is a part of the process, establish a specific development plan for change and defines a follow up approach to evaluate on going progress.

Because the coaching process is a collaborative partnership where the “chemistry” between the executive coach and candidate can be critical to the success of the engagement, Leathers Milligan has built a team of professional business coaches that let’s us present a variety of potential coaches for each engagement with both the professional credentials and personalality traits to help assure acceptance by, and engagement with, the coaching candidate to assure that both you and the coaching candidate achieve the outomes you desire.
