EXECUTIVE COACHING
Tired of playing small with yourself, your teams or your business?
Good!
Becoming who we want to be as leaders requires expanding our vision of "success" and
then committing--persistently--to that vision, no matter what.
Sounds nice, right? Then why is this so hard?
Why do our goals, ambitions and dreams get compromised, forgotten, shelved?
Pushed endlessly into “the future”?
For years? Even decades?
ANSWER: because struggle, overwhelm and a "good enough" life strategy is least “familiar”.
And we get comfort from what’s familiar. Including pain.
In leadership and life, we manage these "pain points" by endlessly pushing things into the "future", avoiding deadlines, dodging difficult conversations, people-pleasing, controlling rather than causing, forcing rather than leading, and generally feeling alone, burdened, defensive, powerless and stuck.
And this is WITH things looking all good on the outside!
Fear, doubt and uncertainty get stronger when we even dare to think about changing this.
The brain will immediately come up with reasons why we can't, why it's not possible, not even practical, why this isn't "a good time", why we shouldn't have to, why nothing works anyway, there's no guarantees, and on and on.
Getting sick of this way of thinking and into a NEW conversation is the first step!
Big Time offers permanent solutions to your challenges by helping you create the internal shifts and new behaviors that lead to a radically different experience of all of it.

OUR APPROACH
Big Time is credentialed with the International Coach Federation and follows the highest standards in coaching ethics, standards and best practices. Fundamentally, coaching is a formal structure for a creative process. It is a science and an art. It's a proven method for change and an intentional act of transformation.
Coaching conversations are high-level, future-focused, and inquiry-based, exploring the client's desired outcomes, both short and long term. Coaching conversations are also facilitative to provide the necessary structure, momentum and accountability for goals and projects to reach fulfillment.
The following is a general guideline for the coaching process over the duration of a coaching engagement for individuals and teams.
VISION: Explore what you want to create from your values as individual, leader, team and company.
GOALS: Build your short and long term projects based on your desired vision of success.
MEANING: Explore why your projects and goals are important and worthy of your attention and effort.
STRENGTHS: Recognize your inherent gifts, talents and skills, and amplify them.
EMOTIONAL IQ: Develop your leadership empathy, as well as inter-personal and intra-personal effectiveness.
BUILD AWARENESS: Create insights, perspectives and context to attach new actions to create new results.
STRUCTURES: Identify technologies and systems that keep you engaged, organized and energized.
SOLUTIONS: Focus on what IS working, possibility, and reframing problems into opportunities.
MEASUREMENTS: Target meaningful milestones to track progress, learnings and breakthroughs.
ACCOUNTABILITY: Develop personal and professional communities, structures to support your leadership integrity.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: Celebrate wins and accomplishments along the way. Rinse. Repeat. Gee, your hair smells great.
Big Time Assessments: Big Time uses a variety of proprietary and customized assessments to support your coaching process, depending upon your needs and circumstances of your life and business. Assessment exercises provide information that can enhance self-awareness, as well as awareness of others and their circumstances/challenges; provide a benchmark for creating coaching goals and actionable strategies; and offer a method for evaluating your progress, both ontologically and in facilitating your goals.
Big Time Tools: Concepts, models and principles drawn from the behavioral sciences, performance management, leadership principles and best practices, traditional and cutting edge technologies, spiritual traditions and/or the arts and humanities may be incorporated into the coaching conversation and practices to increase your self-awareness, skills, perspectives, insights, frameworks, opportunities, challenges, and actions. Big Time offers more than 200 proprietary professional tools and distinctions, as well as dozens of books and media recommendations.
Big Time Approach: We incorporate an ontological approach (the study of "being") with facilitative methods (the "doing"), grounded in what's working, what's wanted, and what's needed to get "there." Using an ontological approach, Big Time models effective communication skills and methods to enhance your personal communication effectiveness. Big Time will also incorporate discovery-based inquiry, proactive (as opposed to reactive) ways of managing personal opportunities and challenges, constructive framing of observations and feedback to elicit the most positive responses from you and others. We will also construct visions of success and the creation of new ways of being and creating, rather than focusing on the fixing of life's problems.
