Larry Wallace:  Executive Coaching

You and I :  The Essence of the Coaching Partnership.

Who are you ?

You have been successful in your career.

You want to maintain your distinctive edge as you face new situations and demands. To do this, working with a coach is an option.

You realize that coaching will require an investment of significant time and energy. Therefore, you need to work with someone who understands your business and understands you. You want someone you trust, someone who supports you and challenges you, and creates with you a future where your work gives you the most meaning, fulfilment and impact possible.

Who am I ?

For 20 years, I have coached senior executives as well as high potential younger staff. Those I coach manage high degrees of complexity and are under great pressure – performance pressure, time pressure, and pressure to meet their own very high personal standards.

I am known for helping people get quickly to the heart of the issues that will help them be more effective . . .  and happier. 

I help individuals identify patterns that lead to success and also the traps they can fall into that get in the way of achieving what they want.

My clients see me as someone who is perceptive and smart, someone who cares and is highly invested in their success. I help clients better understand their inherent strengths and potential, and challenge them to be even better.

How does it work?

We begin by setting concrete goals for the coaching process.

Meetings typically occur every 3 to 4 weeks – but occasionally more frequently. They can last from 1 to 3 hours, depending on what we need to discuss.

Coaching usually involves some type of 360 feedback, typically interview-based, where I meet with an agreed-on list of your colleagues. I sometimes use a specialized form of 360 feedback called ‘The Reflected Best Self’ which focuses exclusively on your strengths.

We also might use psychometric instruments such as Myers-Briggs, Hogan, and Acumen: Leadership WorkStyles.

Throughout the coaching process, we evaluate our progress against the goals we have set. We take special care to ensure that the goals have been achieved before we end our coaching work together.
