A Message to Executives and Managers
From Bill Cole, MS, MA
CEO
Procoach Systems
You
are highly competent. Accomplished. A leader. Career-minded
and ambitious. A strategic thinker. Possibly a leader in
your field. Perhaps a visionary.
What brings you to this web site at this moment?
Perhaps you are taking a closer look at executive coaching
because of one of these personal, current scenarios:
-
A yearning for something beyond the work
day to day.
-
A sense of positive career momentum lost.
-
Not as many work successes as there used
to be.
-
A reduction in motivation and passion
for work.
-
A feeling like something is wrong in
your career.
-
Being passed over for promotions and
awards.
-
You seem to be on a derailment track.
-
You are actually on a "last chance" track.
-
You've been given an ultimatum to get
coaching--now.
Perhaps the reasons are more benign. Maybe
you're in a mild slump. Feeling too much stress when you
used to love the challenge. Energy levels seem to be declining.
Actually having a sense that you might be approaching burn-out.
Or at least you feel stale. Maybe even losing your confidence.
Maybe not.
Maybe you're reading this because, even though you're doing
well in your executive career, you know there's more potential
within you. You realize that top sports stars continually
retain mind coaches as part of their trusted support team
so they can maintain excellence and continue to stay on
the cutting performance edge. They know that nothing in
their game has to be "broken" to have an experienced coach
on their team. They want to maintain a success mode, and
they want even more achievement.
Whatever your reasons, thanks for visiting our web site
today, and for looking into executive coaching with us.
You may find it helpful to read the following extract from
an interview that was published in a major US newspaper
on my coaching philosophies and how and why people initiate
executive coaching.

"With 25 years of coaching experience, Bill Cole defines
coaching as 'an action-oriented art where I collaborate
with the client and together we advance specifically
where they want to go.' Cole...believes that in order
to be coached, 'the motivation has to come from the
person. They have to really want it as opposed to
my selling it to them. The client needs to find a
coach who has specific expertise and a deep knowledge
of the defined area so that there is a matching up
of the client's need with the coach's experience.
I call this 'the wisdom factor', because then the
coach can navigate these waters astutely, since he's
either been there or has worked with a lot of clients
in that area. This approach is critical."
Bill Cole MS, MA,

To Careers",

In my experience there are compelling, vital, core benefits
executives receive in working with a private coach. Here
are some of the most critical:
-
Confidential, intimate, objective truth
telling.
-
A sounding board and creativity partner.
-
A person to tell the real story to who
has no agenda.
-
A resource outside the corporate web
in which you live.
-
Someone who can tell you things no one
else dares.
-
A success partner dedicated to your higher
career velocity and personal well-being.
Some of the more exciting moments for
me, in working with executives occur when they:
-
Break through long-standing sticking
points.
-
Deal successfully with the paradox of
success.
-
Articulate and craft their unique vision
and path to personal success.
-
Understand, and begin to live the path
of mental toughness as applied to leadership.
-
Arrive to a new level of clarity and
executive artistry.
-
Become change agents for everyone they
touch.

P.S. Everyone wonders how we can do this coaching, if we're
unable to meet face to face. Frankly, sometimes I'm amazed
at how well it works without meeting in person. I've coached
people from all over the world, by telephone, fax and email.
This virtual coaching system works great. To learn more
about the process, go to the Frequently
Asked Questions section about our coaching systems.
P.P.S. I should mention that one of the most important features
of private coaching is the confidentiality of the relationship.
This is what gives the power to the process of coaching.
People always report that this is a critical reason they
find coaching so valuable.
P.P.P.S. All Coaching Is Unconditionally Guaranteed --
Our No-Questions-Asked, 100% Money-Back Coaching Guarantee:
Our work is guaranteed. We want you to succeed. If you do
not believe we have met the mutually established objectives
for your coaching project, we will continue to work toward
those goals with you for no additional fee or expense consideration.

refund your coaching fees in total. We believe in our ability
to help our clients. Our commitment to your success is total.
This has been our commitment to our clients for well over
a decade.
