WE ENHANCE STAKEHOLDER RELATIONSHIPS
We work hard to enhance each leader's ability to effectively communicate with and influence their followers, including senior organizational stakeholders, in order to reach their goals and the goals of their organization.
WE DEVELOP EXECUTIVE PRESENCE & AUTHENTICITY
We support each of our leaders to inspire confidence in his/her/their subordinates such that they evolve into a leader others want to follow, inspire confidence among peers such that they see a capable and reliable colleague, and inspire confidence among their leadership such that they see his/her/their potential to steward the future of the firm.
WE ILLUMINATE GREATER SELF-AWARENESS
To be an effective human leader in the world today, one must know oneself. We help our clients work with strengths and overcome weaknesses, while eliciting the best performance from their teams by having excellent self-awareness. Strengths can also be used to compensate for our weaknesses if we know where we fall short. Supporting our clients to have great self-knowledge is the first step. This involves support monitoring thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. Unique experiences, beliefs, and abilities are part of us - these things make us unique. Self-awareness enables leaders to evaluate themselves objectively, and it is a central component of all success.
WE BUILD LEADERSHIP EFFECTIVENESS
Firms buy results, not coaching. Our clients are coached to have clear direction and focus. They achieve noticeable progress in specified areas of their work. We coach each client to take ownership of their role, achieve satisfaction and well-being, to prosper and be profitable, while growing, learning and developing into the best leader they can be.
We benchmark client success along two dimensions
1.
The ability to act as a long-term trusted partner, an exceptional listener, a mirror of current realities such that they cast light toward future possibilities.
2.
The ability to illuminate our clients’ own brilliance, unleashing latent potential, rather than inventorying problems.
We use the Hogan Psychometric Assessment to ground our coaching
As the basis for most coaching engagements, we proudly use the world-renowned Hogan Psychometric Assessment, widely considered the most high-validity psychometric assessment available.
How we facilitate your coaching engagement
Container of Safety
Cognitive Navigation
Possibility
Different from Therapy
Partnership in Discovery
Active Listening
CONTAINER OF SAFETY
We believe the coach and client must establish together a container of safety over a period of time. This enables the client to dive deeply within themselves, to define precise problems, to recognize new solutions, resulting in transcended limits and the breaking of new ground.
COGNITIVE NAVIGATION
In the safety of the container, the client brings a precisely defined question they wish to explore and an undefined horizon line toward which to cognitively sail. The coach takes primary responsibility for the space, and shifts into a role of objective listening, rapt attention, and cognitive navigation.
POSSIBILITY
The client is invited to open into a broad space of possibility, leveraging the subject matter expertise of the coach to facilitate the realization of non-ordinary solutions to common problems.
DIFFERENT FROM THERAPY
Crucially, coaching is not therapy. Our approach is designed to invite the client to draw from active belief sets, values, language and behavior patterns. Practical solutions are harvested in collaboration with the broad perspective and expertise of the coach.
PARTNERSHIP IN DISCOVERY
The coach is an equal partner in discovery; neither above nor beneath the client but is always beside them.
For the duration of any engagement, clients are responsible for the progress they make; energy levels, risk tolerance, curiosity, and innovation are a spectrum.
ACTIVE LISTENING
The coach brings 100% of their attention, active listening, and empathic capacity. Most coaches and consultants sell boxed solutions at a high cost. An MWS coach is trained to listen for the solutions you already have access to, and for which you are uniquely predisposed to success. We don’t help you reinvent the wheel, we help you evolve its use.
