Yesterday is long gone forever. Tomorrow sits right next to never. Today is the now, the time for action.
It is human nature and has been said in so many different ways, whether it s a diet or learning to play a musical instrument – we procrastinate. This is especially true when it comes to making a commitment to change ourselves. Working with an executive coach is right up there on the tough commitment ranking.
Many senior managers feel they have been successful because they either do not have any detrimental behaviors, or have overcome them. Nothing could be further from the truth. Top performing CEO’s recognize that improving their personal performance will help them improve their contribution. From this perspective, using an executive coach can be ego based. The focus on self-improvement that comes from executive coaching will help the executive leave a stronger legacy.
We don’t really care how companies and individual executives come to see the extraordinary value of executive coaching just so long as they get there. By doing so, they are on the road to making real differences for themselves, their teams, and their organizations.
