Executive Coaching

At Kirnan Coaching Associates, we are passionate about helping professionals maximize their performance and leadership potential no matter where you may be in your career. Today, employees are being stretched like never before, working across different cultures and time zones while being asked to do more with fewer resources under increasingly shorter time constraints. Competition has never been more pronounced nor the pace of industry consolidation more intense than it is today. 

Change is now the norm, not the exception. Flexibility, adaptability, technical acumen, the ability to manage multiple tasks and responsibilities, teamwork – these are just some of the core skills now expected from employees and managers alike, irrespective of whether they work in a small firm, a global enterprise, a company start-up, or a non profit.

There are many compelling reasons why an employee, manager, or entrepreneur might consider working with an executive coach:

  • Develop new skills and behavior that can enhance current performance.
  • Prepare for potential opportunities that may be part of an individual’s long-term career development plan.
  • Facilitate a smooth transition to either a new position, a promotion, or a new management role in the organization.
  • Address a specific performance issue (e.g., time management, delegation of tasks, relationship issues) that may be surfacing in a performance review and holding back one’s career advancement.
  • Resolve conflict management issues like working with a difficult boss, colleague, direct report, a client, and other internal and external stakeholders.
  • Identify strategies to improve working in a team-oriented culture.

In our Executive Coaching engagements, we use powerful assessment tools like Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and Everything DiSC (Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, Conscientiousness) which together with a client’s recent performance reviews, can help identify key strengths to build on as well as perceived weaknesses and patterns of behavior that need to be addressed. 

We also help our clients better understand their leadership style and how that style is perceived by such key constituencies as their Managers, Peers, and Direct Reports by utilizing highly reputable online assessment tools like Everything DiSC 363 for Leaders. 

Throughout our coaching engagement, we develop a highly customized Leadership Development Plan that lays out specific strategies for the client’s continuing professional development as well as the action steps and key performance metrics that will support those strategies and reinforce the desired behavioral changes.
