Shemmer Executive Coaching

A recent survey of Fortune 1000 companies showed 86% used coaching to sharpen the skills of individuals identified as future leaders. Research also demonstrates that individuals with a well defined work-life balance and high levels of personal satisfaction get promoted three times faster than those who don't.

Shemmer Executive Coaching, LLC helps leaders focus and align all aspects of work to create higher levels of effectiveness. Our unique, customized service accelerates professional development and positive business results by: applying a set of proven coaching models and methods that produce real change in behavior, understanding the world in which business operates through more than 25 years of business experience and knowing that "executives are in a hurry and want results fast."

Keep it simple and focused on one or two goals over the course of the coaching engagement
Use 360-input to inform the goal-setting process
Support and encourage the executive in practicing new behaviors, and provide tools and techniques
Measure results as perceived by those who experience the executive: peers, direct reports and company executives

The consistency and simplicity of this approach is what makes it work. We give new definition to a leader's purpose and energize them in the process.

WHY AN EXECUTIVE COACH?

Shemmer Executive Coaching helps leaders find new ways to attack old problems and improve performance. When efforts to change individuals, teams or the organization have failed, we are the outside experts to get to the root cause to make fundamental change. We are an experienced, independent sounding board in times of change from promotions to stretch assignments. Success in a new role may require executive skills not needed in the past. We sharpen executive skills by focusing our coaching on the needs and goals of the executive and the organization. To ensure coaching effectiveness, we offer different customized coaching configurations, tools and areas of speciality.

HAVE LEADERSHIP SKILLS REACHED A PLATEAU?

Often, as individuals advance to the executive level the need for developmental feedback becomes increasingly important. Unfortunately, the likelihood of receiving this input is more infrequent and unreliable. As a result, many executives plateau in critical interpersonal and leadership skills. One-on-one interaction with an executive coach provides a focus that other forms of organizational support cannot. For better or worse, many executives can't find an objective conversation partner -- called a "truth speaker" by Harvard Business School Professor Thomas Delong -- elsewhere in their companies.

ARE YOUR LEADERS BURNED OUT AND FRUSTRATED?

One of the biggest threats to achieving true potential comes from inside: a persistently negative voice constantly and irrationally questioning our abilities, chastising every little mistake and downplaying every accomplishment to stay firmly within our comfort zone. Battling this inner critic 24/7 is draining, frustrating and can lead to severe burnout. Shemmer Executive Coaching helps leaders manage their inner critic, achieve their potential and get out of their own way.
