The Mastermind Executive Coaching Process ™
Are you an Executive or Top Management Team Member (TMTM) who is seeking relief? Are you expected to produce more with fewer resources? How is your time management? What if I told you that there is a way to gain one day a week to your schedule? Or if that sounds too good to be true, how about gaining one hour a day? What if there was a way for you to have some sanity again, even get a great night's sleep?
Why don't you see if this little story sounds familiar to you... About five years ago I held a top-performing position with a stellar organization and some how got burnt-out. Demands to perform at high levels were part of the game. Being a wonderful Alpha Dog, I stepped up to the plate and swung my bat- often and hard. Then I started swinging my bat during lunch time, working later hours, consistently doing hours of work at home every night, and took great pride for my productivity numbers. Eventually, this led to working on weekends, and even taking work on "vacations" (long family weekends). The success was intoxicating, the money was great- built our first house and sent the kids to great schools, but there was something missing.
Everyone thought I had it under control because I volunteered a great deal of my time in working with the youth. Of course, being the good little Alpha Dog I am, I even turned that into something wonderful; as you know nothing mediocre is acceptable in our world! I had my A-game on and was showing up at every event and workshop that was placed in front of me. It was awesome; I had found a way to fool them all! I became the perfect imposter. On the outside I appeared calm, cool, and collected- never letting anyone see me less than stellar. That perception was the furthest thing from my truth- inside I was a total mess and wasn't sleeping more than a couple of hours a night!
Now hindsight, I recognize that subtle hints were being dropped everywhere that it was necessary for me to change my ways. Unfortunately, I disregarded them until my health brought my life to a screeching halt. I had to be still, very still, and listen deeply to what was happening to my life and my relationships. I didn't know what to do, but I did know that the course I was on was no longer beneficial to me in that moment. Being certain that change was eminent, I left my profession. Yes, resigned my position and decided to go back to school. I decided to get my Graduate Degree because being a student was the furthest thing from how I was living. I am eternally grateful the lessons I learned, particularly as they are often shared with clients. Yet, going to school wouldn't have been necessary if I had only known that there was relief (not therapy) available to someone like me.
Through my rescue process I was fortunate enough to find one of the world's premier Executive Coaches to assist me in the last steps of my Rescue Process. I have trained with Coach for several years and am convinced that this work delivers such profound results that I have committed to serve other executives, TMTMs, and business leaders with this process to bring forth their highest levels of productivity in a peaceful manner. So let's look at the 10 steps which can bring you relief...

WARNING: Don't be fooled by pseudo executive coaching programs or coaches! Many "Executive Coaches" are claiming to assist you within your C-Suite and leadership performance, but they are only taking the principles of Life Coaching and trying to apply it to your circumstances. It is not effective because the application is incorrect. (See the article on this site, "What Every Executive, Especially CEOs, Should Know...")
