Executive coaching was for the specific purpose of CEO transition. I strongly agree that executive coaching was valuable for me and to my organization.
Alyssa’s executive coaching process allowed me to see how I could implement certain initiatives, and that if I didn’t bring a process, it would never happen. I learned so much about leadership and what to do and how to do it. Alyssa told us what we needed to hear, not necessarily what we wanted to hear. I utilized the processes and procedures Alyssa recommended. I learned how to coach, how to lead, how to be a role-model … with Alyssa, you learn how to get out of your comfort zone; be consistent; manage and lead through other people. My confidence in leading an organization to higher levels increased. I ask better questions, have better insight, and have become even more intuitive. Alyssa is a class act. And another significant point: Alyssa doesn’t compromise her standards or ethics.
Alyssa gives you candid and respectful feedback, and you go outside your comfort zone.
Executive coaching was a great experience that helped me think about things in a different way. The single most valuable part of it for me was the confidence-building. Executive coaching gave me a foundation for thinking about issues and facts and circumstances; it has gotten me to a place of learning and desire to improve. Executive coaching was a great tool to do introspection in a pragmatic way, not an esoteric, way. I could concretely identify strengths and weaknesses that I could further develop and use in a practical way. Alyssa’s style works particularly well with people who are receptive to coaching and see the value of trying to improve, and who enjoy learning.
