10.) Why are you ready for a career coach?

At Cremer International, professionals enlist us to coach them to accelerate their careers, get help with skills like making better decisions, cultivate a presence ad achieve self awareness. Coaches can provide honest, unfiltered feedback - which is hard to find at the highest level of an organization. Through conversations with direct reports, peers, customers and managers, coaches seek to gain a realistic picture of the client. People who give this feedback to the coach are often not willing or able to give it directly to the executive. 

For mid-level professionals, a coach can help identify what needs to be done to reach the executive level. Coaches also focus on interpersonal skills while helping people communicate and network more effectively. 

People benefit most from coaches if they are open to change and the best candidates are often those who have already been working on their own to improve. 

9. What Are The learning Processes And Programs For Executive And Corporate Coaching?

I first administer a self assessment of leadership competencies with an in-depth explanation of how they can be applied at work and in other areas of life.

Self-Assessment and 360 Degree Assessment For Any Leader Leadership Skills Inventory:

This self-and-other 360 degree assessment of the leadership competencies provides the basis for our formulating your result-based plans to develop enhanced leadership effectiveness

Individual Style Indicator

This next generation style assessment tool (You may have seen version like the Myers-Briggs). The Individual Style Indicator identifies general style preferences, strengths, difficult areas, reactions to stress, team functioning, leadership implications, and plans for development.

The Work Style Indicator

We analyze the work behavior style requirements of your job and compare them to your preferred work style. This helps you create or find a job role that matches the highest and best use of your strengths and talents. Also, it helps you understand how you need to develop style flexibility to enhance your performance and enjoyment in your current job.

8. Why Does Coaching Work?

Coaching works because working together, we achieve laser-beam focus on the most important parts of your life, in both your personal and you professional arenas.

• Your beliefs
• Your vision
• Your identity and purpose
• Your gifts and talents
• Your potential
• Your interests
• Your opportunities
• Your goals
• Your action plans
• Your implementation plans
• Your dreams

A wise Coach believes that wisdom at these deepest levels is available if you are encouraged to continue seeking clarity and refuse to give up seeking more clarity! When you are inspired to persist, clarity emerges from within and unfolds afresh – each new day. When you know your “Mojo” – what really excites you, what you love most, and you flow in the “zone” of peak performance, you can enjoy the rewards of finding more success, meaning and happiness.

A Coach keeps you focused and on your line of purpose. In our busy and fast paced world, it is easy to find ourselves getting knocked off-course. Cutting-edge learning tools are available to you throughout the Coaching process. Since 1981 Cremer International has developed and delivered learning tools that accelerate personal, team and organizational learning. We may use some tools developed by others, but I find that Cremer International assessment tools are more comprehensive, and therefore provide you with an integrated approach to leadership development.

​These tools have been tested, in clinical, corporate and educational environments in both domestic and international organizations over the past three decades. Our organizational and team assessment and learning programs enable you to share the benefits of Coaching sessions with those with whom you work. ​

7. What Is A Coach? How Will Having A Coach Benefit You?

Executive coaching has now become an established profession that synthesizes the best aspects of business, leadership, psychology, communications, organization development, counseling, consulting, philosophy, theology, health and finance.

• A Coach challenges you and takes the time to assist you to clarify what life and success means to you.
• A Coach focuses more on the skills you need today to create what you want now and for your future, instead of focusing mainly on your past and how it is affecting you.
• A Coach provides the tools, structure, and support for you to orient your life and business around your true beliefs, values and sense of purpose.
• A Coach guides you to plan to leave a legacy that inspires you to move forward with 100% of your commitment, talent and potential, without becoming a “burnout case”. Balance in life is paramount!
• A Coach asks you to do more and be more than anyone else has ever asked of you, including yourself.
• A Coach steers you to live the life you have longed for in your heart and challenges you to remove obstacles that prevent progress.
• A Coach is a navigator who keeps you on the course you really want to follow.
• A Coach is a catalyst to move you towards your vision of a preferred future for yourself and others you love.
• A Coach creates the environment for you to discover and express the highest and best use of your time and talents.
• A Coach holds you accountable without nagging. This means accountable to optimize each area of your life and business. This allows you to move ahead to where you want to be.
• Corporate Coaching helps you see how you can leverage your personal leadership development to build successful teams, enhance corporate culture or spirit in the workplace. It makes the bottom line increase at the same time. I often combine executive coaching and corporate coaching in the same organization because the two enhance each other.

6. Why Is Having A Personal Executive Coach A Great Solution?

Coaching works because at Cremer International you have someone to confide in. Someone who engages you in straight talk and gives honest, informed, and even expert opinions with over three decades of couching experience. When you have a relationship with us where you are free to tell the whole and unbridled truth, you have a solid foundation for building result

5. Is There An Objective Person You Can Always Count On To Coach You?

• Who do you turn to when you are dealing with tough decisions and when you need to visualize new and more creative perspective?
• Are you maximizing leverage from every action, time commitment, and investment you make?
• Do you feel alone with some of the decisions that you can’t freely share with those you know?
• Do you need to make decisions that could be explored with an objective third party?
• Do you work on business, instead of get swamped by your business?
• Do you find yourself spending time on things that are not connected to your best talents but that you ‘don’t or won’t delegate?
• Are there times when you are working along, and that is not just good enough?

4. With Whom Can You Discuss Your Concerns And Uncertainties?

Talking to people in your work environment may unnecessarily upset or confuse them. It may be risky to reveal confidential information to people you may or may not fully trust.

​Talking to a family member who is emotionally involved with you may hinder that person from hearing you clearly or the information you impart may unduly burden your loved one. Yet, your concerns don’t really call for formal counseling or therapy

3. How Does The Coaching With Commitment Work?

• ​You call me at a specific time, usually once a week, or every other week. We shall talk for 30 or 60 minutes, depending on your needs at the time. 
• You may also meet with me in person, however most people find the telephone the most efficient and practical method. I also take phone calls on demand, as needed. It is that simple. You don’t get charged anything else just the prorated conference call time based on the hourly fee.
• I bill you at the end of each month and you send me a check, or pay by PayPal.
• Travel is an additional cost if it is not local. Then we shall negotiate. Everyone has untapped potential and special talents to share with others. Yet few venture far enough along the path of personal and professional development to, realize their fuller potential.
• A good Coach enhances your ability to see clearly and helps you release your unique gifts. What I intimately want is for you to produce results beyond the ordinary in your business and personal life. I am looking forward to speaking with you soon.

2. What Is The One Hour Orientation Session?

You’ll get off to a strong start by both of us having a clear understanding of your goals, needs and challenges. I shall enjoy spending this time with you, getting to know you and building a foundation for our relationship. Together, we shall design the best way for us to work together to accomplish your goals. If you are not satisfied with the results of the hour, then we won’t continue the coaching.
