Is This for You?
Are you a senior HR Executive wanting to play a bigger game in your profession and organization, or perhaps start your own business or do something totally different?
This executive coaching program is designed for senior HR professionals – ideally VPs of HR or HR Directors reporting to a VP of HR or Chief People Officer, or HR Business Partner with business unit HR responsibility. The thread that binds participants together is that they are all looking to play a bigger game and find greater meaning beyond themselves in what they are doing professionally. They want to engage deeply and are asking themselves powerful questions.
Focus
- What is the BIG GAME I want to be playing professionally? Do I have a game strategy?
- What is my WHY? Am I doing what I truly want to be doing, and if not, how do I change the game? How am I making a difference? What is the mark I want to leave?
- Do I possess the executive presence and confidence required for me to achieve my career goal? Am I integrated and respected by the C-Suite for who I truly am? Is the culture of my organization or my clients in sync with who I want to be?
- What is propelling me forward? How am I limiting myself? What is my self-messaging? Am I stuck in perfectionism, a “doer/fixer mode,” an non-productive leaderships style?”What kind of leader do I want to be?
- Am I inspiring in what I do? How do I engage at all levels, across generations, different industries, globally/virtually. Am I effectively leveraging the multitude of strategies that are out there, including technology and social media? Am I staying current or falling behind?
- Do I have a personal brand that works for me? How do I want to show up at work/in life? Am I able to be authentic in what I am doing: show up in all my glory-quirks and all? Do I own my own unique values?
- Am I in the right place? How do I know when it is time to move on?
- Do I have the support system I need to advance professionally? Do I know the difference between “networking” to connecting and building community as a lifelong process. Who do I need to connect with? What is the balance between leveraging technology and face-to-face engagement?
