It’s kind of easy to imagine, when you think of the term, that “executive coaching” is reserved for driven CXOs, titans and machas of industry, and wealthy entrepreneurs. This image, however, doesn’t match reality.

Coaching clients are hard-working, ambitious women and men who not only want to advance in their chosen professions (or transition to other meaningful activities), but they want to do so while maintaining their sanity and a quality of life that includes others things besides 24/7 work.

Yes, like other investments, coaching requires a financial commitment, especially when compared to the price of a self-help book or a weekend seminar on topics like “The 7 Steps to Nirvana…”

Books and seminars do help – in our practice we use books and sponsor weekend events and have a collection of name tags to prove it. More often than not, though, the books and workbooks stand guard on their bookshelves collecting dust.

The point is this: books and seminars have their place, but they are not substitutes for a coaching experience – whether in-person, by phone or online- that is designed for you and with only you in mind.

Our mission at Thomas Coaching Company is to objectively guide you through a process of self-discovery and self-mastery that makes us, as coaches, obsolete.

WHAT DID SHE JUST SAY?

Yes – it’s true! Our mission is to fortify each client with his or her own wisdom – so much so that we, as coaches, are no longer needed.

Yes – you may engage us for a time or some specific purpose. You may use our products to help you through a particularly difficult period. And we’d love it if you came back to us for a new challenge or opportunity – but we know that you do not come to us to stay – and that’s by design.

And while you are with us, or when you use our products and services, our agenda is whatever matters most to you.

SINCE WE'RE ON THIS TOPIC, WHAT IS A COACH ANYWAY?

We are neither therapists nor psychoanalysts. Those experts are available and valuable if you need them.

We are behavioral experts – coaches who support you in aligning your actions with the outcomes you are committed to achieving. To achieve this, we use assessments that reveal your strengths and motivators, and we encourage you to leverage your natural talents to the hilt. In this way, you learn to trust your instincts and show up in your world(s) as congruent, in the flow of who you really are, so you can achieve your professional and personal goals with greater ease and confidence.

WOULD YOU TAKE AUTMOTIVE ADVICE FROM A TENNIS PRO?

Probably not. So, it stands to reason that you would seek out a professional coach for your professional needs .

We hail from accredited organizations (i.e., Coach University; the Coach Training Institute) that are recognized for excellence in this field. We are members of the International Coach Federation (ICF) which sets standards and provides accreditation for coaches and training institutes. We are certified to administer and apply behavioral assessments in businesses and organizations of all sizes.

We are trained and seasoned coaches – extraordinary listeners – and unbiased advocates. In this world of soundbites and quick clips, we create space and time for you to hear yourself think and talk and we reflect back what we hear – even those things that were left unsaid. We hear those things too.

We are not your answer machines – drop in a coin and we’ll spit out the latest quip. We don’t dispense pre-digested advice from some set of index cards. We help you clarify issues by asking provocative questions that lead to answers or interpretations you may never have considered before.

Coaches and good coaching programs facilitate – make it easier for you to get in touch with your own wisdom so you can live, work, love and make a contribution to all of the areas of your life – on point and on purpose.

WHAT DO COACHES DO BEST?


Motivational gurus have their place and serve the purpose of jumpstarting you to pay attention to your dreams and desired good. As coaches, our philosophy is to take that spark that led you to us and guide you into self-empowerment.

We do this by creating a flexible yet structured six-month approach – more if needed or desired – so that momentum and authentic results can be achieved. Whether through one-on-one coaching or a self-directed method, coaching works.

WHAT’S A CXO?

Our clients come from all walks of life – some are CXO’s like CEO, COOs, CFOs, CIOs, and CMOs – and some are leaders and managers in large/medium/small companies or large/medium/small non-profits. Some of our clients are entrepreneurs, and some are retired and looking for “next.”.

One thing our clients have in common is that they desire to simplify their lives and the often complex web of human relationships that must be maintained everyday at work and in life. Coaching helps them focus on designing a life that includes their career but is not defined by it.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?

Ultimately, our clients view executive coaching and our coaching related programs as an investment that yields high returns – for them, their teams, their firms, their families and special relationships.

Coaching is the one of the best tools for focusing on priorities so that you can move your personal, corporate, professional, or organizational agenda forward – whatever it is.
