EXECUTIVE
COACHING — WHY?
Executive
Coaching can help you gain a clearer sense of direction as it challenges
you to ask yourself not only where you want to go but why you want
to go there.
  |
Conversations
with a Coach will enable you to focus on key issues as you step
away from the day to day details to see when you must say "No"
in order to commit to "Yes". Coaching can help with |
work/life
balance when you learn how to create personal and professional
support systems and change your life narrative.
EXECUTIVE
COACHING — HOW IT WORKS
| As
Mary Helms coaches nonprofit executives and business leaders,
she employs an approach that is practical, supportive, and well
grounded in organizational and life experiences. She asks penetrating
|
|
questions
and encourages clients to take a look at issues from a strategic perspective,
to understand and lead from their personal strengths.
Through
coaching conversations with Mary, clients become more aware of how
culture, social norms, systems, and technology, as well as personal
beliefs and values affect how we view the world. They become more
self aware in the physical and emotional domains and they learn
to listen to their own words with new insight.
CLIENT
TESTIMONIALS
"ORBIS
is a highly complex global organization in a period of major transition
- all ingredients for a leadership challenge. There is constant
demand for strategic thinking and high level decision-making that
affects staff - and beneficiaries - throughout the world.
My
work with Mary has allowed me to stay at 70,000 feet rather than
get immersed in the tempting day-to-day details. Her unique style
of coaching, with its element of body awareness, has brought me
to new levels of centeredness and clarity. Our work has helped me
put the challenges at hand in perspective, to find the humor in
difficult situations, and, perhaps most important, to take full
advantage of myself as a resource.
She
is very perceptive and is able to guide my focus toward the issue
beneath the issue, and to enhance my awareness of patterns and tendencies
that interfere with efficient solutions. In a nutshell, my work
with Mary has allowed me to lead."

ORBIS International
"Leadership coaching has been the 'compass' I've needed to chart
my way through a period of organizational change that coincided
with an interesting crossroads in my career. It's given me a clearer
sense of direction. I'm clearer about the organizational and personal
outcomes I'm seeking, and the values I want to stay faithful to.
I've got a better understanding of the environment I need in order
to be effective, and more skill and confidence to negotiate for
that environment.
"Overall,
coaching has helped me to stand back and see myself, others, and
my organization, in a more objective way. At the same time, it's
helped me to value my unique perspectives and contributions and
to draw on them both for personal growth and for the betterment
of the organization. And, finally, it's given me more confidence
that I can make good decisions as I move forward."
