"Business and executive coaching is about interacting with people in a way that assists them to produce often spectacular results in their businesses and organizations."

Robert Hargrove

GAIN's team of experienced executive and business coaches will customize your coaching program to fit your organization's culture and the learning and work style of the person being coached.

The "Who You Are Being" Factor

There are two key factors for outstanding performance: "Who you are being" and "What you are doing."

Research and experience have shown that "Who you are being" is at least as important if not the more critical factor. Coaching focuses on both but is weighted toward the latter. Consulting and training have traditionally been weighted toward "What you are doing."

Why is "Who you are being" so important? Because we subtly communicate powerful messages about our real intentions, often without knowing it.

Great leadership requires understanding and managing your intentions, your emotional responses and your communications. This ability is referred to as "Emotional Intelligence." It is almost impossible to fake it. And, it is almost impossible to improve it by yourself.

Defensive routines

It is just human nature. People avoid, accommodate, manipulate and intimidate. Often, they are unaware of or rationalize their behavior. As a result, they create unintended consequences. This is a one of the most critical aspects of the "Who you are being" factor.

The combined defensive routines of the senior management team drive the creation of a culture with unspoken rules that limit the ability of the organization to challenge its own assumptions and achieve breakthrough results.

We all have these blind spots and defenses. Therefore developing "Who you are being" requires a trusted and highly skilled guide who is dedicated to your success. The coaching relationship provides this for you and your key people.
