Every great leader has a sounding board

We don’t have one. Everything we do is customized around your business culture, leadership dynamics, unique strengths and challenges - which together create sharper objectives. We lean on signature tools like CliftonStrengths and stress science in order to ground the engagement in cutting edge data and build a common positive and actionable language. That foundation, as well as what we layer on top, varies based on who you are and where you’re headed.

Our apologies for being redundant, but no two engagements look the same! It’s all tailored to your goals, budget, desired time frame, etc. 

Some coaching is a set # of sessions designed to stretch and maximize your development dollars. Some engagements are ongoing in order to dig into meaty objectives and support a group of leaders longer term. 

Executives and rising leaders looking to make big strides in their development often sign up for 6 months of ongoing coaching. Some reasons are to:

• truly commit to improving how they lead and manage others 
• proactively get ahead of issues as they arise
• learn tangible techniques to increase their time in peak performance and recover faster from stress
• lean on an advisor to navigate tricky management situations and prepare for hard conversations
  

All levels. We most often work with rising leaders from the director level up as well as C-suite executives and partners.

Individual leaders leave with:

• A sharper articulation of their unique strengths, needs, and contributions which leads to improved expectation setting, communication and collaboration, energy management, productivity and engagement 
• A better understanding of how to use stress to their advantage for peak performance and optimal tone setting for others
• A deeper appreciation for feedback - how to give and receive it in a productive and action-oriented manner 
• A higher level of confidence in where they shine as leaders and a strategic plan for how to address their gap areas
• A suite of tools and tactics to improve their ability to tailor their management style around the unique motivators and skills of their direct reports and peers 
• A higher level of energy and well-being at work

Teams leave with:

• The common positive language of CliftonStrengths which leads to a higher degree of appreciation for diverse talent, more intentional and effective collaboration, ownership of collective power house talent and gap areas, improved energy and well-being
• The common positive language of WYLD’s stress science that leads to a higher degree of compassion for typical challenges, improved collective resilience, and a reinvigorated commitment to peak performance 
• A break down of silos that comes from group learning about leadership principles that serve as culture building values 
• A fun and thought provoking space away from the day-to-day to recharge and broaden their perspective so they can dive back into work with more energy, enthusiasm, and intentionality

Fit - find the right coach that creates the space for vulnerability, challenges your perspective, holds you accountable to your growth goals, collaborates with you to uncover tangible action steps, and celebrates your wins so even the loneliest leaders at the top receive much needed recognition.

Commit - be ready to put in what you want to get out of this engagement. WYLD coaches bring sharp expertise and a wealth of wisdom to the table, but ultimately you are the expert on you and it’s up to you to do the work. We will work with you to determine the best pace to support your development. 

Open your mind - come in with a blank slate mentality no matter if you have experienced coaching before. We weave in a mix of many learning modalities - the more open you can be, the more you will take with you!
