Encouraging Leaders to Stop Playing It Safe and
Take Action

In the past, the business coaching has tended to focus on providing support for underachievers, giving little focus to people who are already performing at high levels.

Today, there is an increasing emphasis on using coaching to drive achievers to even higher levels of performance. However, a "one size fits all" approach is a sure path to failure when coaching them.

This Webcast explores the character of high-achieving individuals and their coaching needs and examines coaching best practices.

In addition, you’ll discover key qualities of "real leaders" and gain advice for encouraging top performers to step up to the plate and stop playing it safe.

What You’ll Learn:

Elite performers thrive on pressure, excelling best when the heat is on. Recent research suggests that they have very specific coaching needs. Their rise to the top is the result of very careful planning—of setting and hitting hundreds of small goals.

In this session, you’ll hear how to guide their development, including:

  • Lessons from sports coaching that work in a business organization
  • Motivation strategies that are conducive to sustaining high-performance levels
  • Why “mental toughness” is so important
  • Specific approaches for coaching senior level leaders
  • How to work with executives to help them become "real leaders"

This program includes Q&A session—where we will address specific questions submitted by the audience!
