Glenn Smith Executive Coaching

The executive coaching process is built on three components: goals, mindset, and behaviors. It begins by helping the leader (or any individual) gain clarity and focus around what they truly want. For the business owner that may be a business which is not completely dependent upon them. Or it may be profitability, growth, scalability, or sellability.

For the executive, it may be a strategic focus, organizational alignment, or a highly motivated and productive team. For any leader, it may be greater personal mastery, stronger communication skills, or increased confidence and skill at leading change. Improving one's interpersonal relationships and organizational leadership is almost always a key part of the goal.

A skillful coach can be invaluable for the executive with regards to gaining clarity around their goals. When a leader gains that clarity and focus, they have begun the journey. The next two components work hand in hand. Goals are achieved when individuals take appropriate actions. These actions, or behaviors, produce predictable outcomes. Brian Tracy has said, “Successful people simply practice successful habits.” When the right behaviors become habits they produce success. However, almost everyone struggles with taking the right actions consistently. The reason? It starts in our minds, what I refer to as mindset. Every action or behavior begins in our minds. Unfortunately, we are often unconscious of the beliefs and thoughts that govern our behaviors. We find ourselves wanting to do certain things and develop certain habits, but unable to do so.

You may need help in identifying the right behaviors or success habits to create, or you may need help in identifying and overcoming limiting beliefs and mindsets that undermine your success. A skillful coach will help you with both. He can help you develop the right mindset, and engage the right activities that will produce the results you want.
