Executive Coaching

Many executives reach a level where they cannot think “out loud” or have someone with whom they can confidentially think through ideas and challenges; a coach provides that confidential thinking partner for them. Many coaching clients share that they experience the coaching relationship as a gift.

Through coaching you will:

EXPLORE more self-awareness and understanding of other perspectives

EMPHASIZE strengths, values, personal mission, leadership skills, and growth opportunities

EXAMINE  your leadership behaviors, emotional intelligence, strategic thinking, and relational skills by gaining new information and approaches

EXPERIENCE laser-focused results expediently with the coach as a trusted, thinking and accountability partner and develop new strategies and approaches to everyday situations and challenges that are sustainable

Identified Development Plan

With your personalized development plan, you will explore potential growth areas identified by feedback from your sponsor and others in the organization.  The coach will recommend assessments to be utilized to complement your understanding and growth in self-awareness.  This process will identify and create specific, targeted goals for a development plan.

Process of Coaching

Coaching sessions are typically twice monthly for 6 months and conducted conveniently via video conversations. At Synergistic Coaching, we want to ensure that the executive is supported and the coach is available for quick consultations between sessions. An extended coaching retainer may be requested for a monthly check-in at the end of coaching. This process helps ensure sustainable, lasting change.

Gerri’s add value skill was her ability to quickly assess and individualize my coaching experience with strategic planning and allowing it to organically evolve. She was able to help me see where I was, the situations that I was struggling with, and how those married up with some of the feedback I got in my 360 assessment.

When describing Gerri as a coach, I would say she is a deep listener, curious, thoughtful, and very resourceful and versatile.

MK
VP Research (HC System)

Gerri and I worked on how to manage difficult conversations using open dialogue and providing feedback to peers. We often would role play before the conversations and would process the end result in our following coaching sessions. I know that I have improved in this area as my anxiety level diminished and the relationships from my peers are stronger. They tell me that they actually appreciate the feedback.

Chief of Surgery (OB Hospital)

Using assessments such as the 360 and the DISC, I’ve been better equipped to understand my personality style and those of my colleagues. I would be able to pre-identify when I would need to be intentional with different responses for the situations that would arise.

CM
VP Operations

In the field of medicine, there are a lot of conflicting interests on multiple levels. As a physician, there, is the interpersonal conflict of making sure the patients’ needs are met while maintaining and continuing on with administrative needs within the hospital. By spending time to recognize the internal conflict as well as recognizing external factors, I’ve been able to better prioritize and to juggle many different conflicting tasks with essentially the care as well as with the importance that they deserve. One at a time.

Through the tools and skills, Gerri was able to help me develop self-awareness, self-regulation, building relationships, looking for areas of agreement, and looking at the big picture. I shifted my focus from what wasn’t working well to finding a way to make my situation work well, and I don’t think I would have gotten through this period of my career without her help. At least not as successful.
