Executive Coaching
Executive Coaching is an inquiry-based approach to personal and professional development that is aimed at creating awareness, generating action, and facilitating learning and growth. At Alethia we understand that Personal Enhancement is a comprehensive strategy made to fit each person’s strengths, disciplines, personality, and success motivators. Before benchmarks can be set, we define each individual’s behavior, attitude and background by getting to know the person.

- Gathering and giving feedback
- Identifying development opportunities
- Building awareness
- Facilitating solutions by asking powerful questions
- Setting goals and creating action plans

Project Definition
A typical executive coaching engagement is about 6-12 months in duration, but can be anywhere from 3-24 months, depending on the situation. The greater the change that is needed, the more coaching is required. Executive coaches are often brought into organizations to work with:- High potentials who need additional support to reach the next level
- Managers who are valuable to the company but have key performance issues to address
- Executives who have been recently hired or promoted and need to make an immediate impact
Project Process
Executive coaching engagements typically follow these steps:- Intake and assessment (including DISC, Motivators, Hartman Value Profile, Learning Styles, EiQ2 and 360 feedback)
- Goal setting
