The first and most important element is your mindset. Many people compare hiring a executive coach to hiring a personal trainer. If you are not ‘ready’ and committed to doing the work yourself, it doesn’t matter how good the coach is. Without this, the process will be very difficult and frustrating for both of you.

Below are four statements that serve as a good test to see if you are ready. You’ll want to be able to agree with all four.

1. I truly believe that I have opportunity to improve myself and my situation.

2. I value and welcome outside input from others.

3. I am committed to be proactive and intentional about making a better future.

4. I am open to challenging my existing thinking. I want to try new things in hopes that I can get better outcomes.

Although the individual reasons are unique to each leader and his/her particular situation, there are several common factors that drive leaders to engage with an executive coach on a regular basis.

• Overachieving executives are rarely, if ever, satisfied

• Trusted resources that challenge senior leaders are hard to find

• Honest feedback with accountability leads to exceptional results

• Excessive workloads can often limit opportunities to pause and reflect

• It can be challenging to find peers for encouragement in difficult times

While coaching can be applied to a variety of people in different situations, ReZone clients tend to hold top tier senior level roles. Many carry titles than include the words Chief, Executive, Senior or Vice President. All our clients are in a powerful positions with significant responsibilities in an organizations with large numbers of employees and significant amounts of revenue.

As a rule of thumb, clients should anticipate investing 2-3 hours a week into the coaching process. This may involve coaching meetings and/or other time working on items related to your goals. Some individuals considering coaching might delay for fear that they don’t currently see a way to add more work to their busy schedules. Chances are that your time available isn’t likely to change without specific effort.

Time and priority management is a cornerstone concept that ReZone focuses on with most every client coached. We will work hard to ensure you can develop more effective ways to utilize your time for both coaching items and key priorities.

There are a lot of great coaching companies and coaches available. The ultimate decision comes down to your personal comfort with the coach, their style and coaching philosophies. It’s important that you have a comfortable chemistry with your coach. Some coaches work from a fixed system without deviation. Others have no structure and adapt on the fly in every session. The ReZone method starts with a framework as a guide but co-creates the best plan for each leader and organization. This strategy allows the best mix of proven techniques and the individual flexibility to adjust to each leader’s personalized style.

Brian has personally coached organizations and businesses in a wide variety of different industries from B2B and B2C businesses. Coaching methods and techniques easily transfer from one business type to another. They are not industry-specific where the experience that matters more is usually around certain situations or particular roles.

Some of the industries where Brian does have direct experience coaching include but are not limited to: Accounting, Automotive, Advertising, Construction, Commercial Services, Food Service, Financial, Home Services, Health & Fitness, IT, Marketing, Media, Non-Profit, Print & Publishing, Real Estate, Religious Organizations, Retail, Software and Technology.

Due to the unique nature of each individual, there is no ‘typical’ timeframe. In several cases, the ideal window is generally sometime between 6 and 12 months. However, that isn’t always feasible. In some cases, it may only be 2-3 months, for example, if the primary goal of the coaching is to help assess the leader and develop a strategy for his/her unique development.

Schedule a no-cost, no-obligation 15-minute phone call or virtual Zoom meeting to explore whether ReZone might be a fit for your situation. If you decide that you’d like to go deeper, we’ll set up a future meeting to begin to co-create what a specific strategy might look like for your organization and leader(s). We will answer any and all questions you have to help you decide if you want to move forward.

ReZone’s customized coaching programs generally involve three primary elements.

The first element is setting the stage and collecting helpful information to better understand how the leader is showing up and where coaching might be able to assist in improving outcomes. This often involves a confidential 360 assessment and possibly a set of stakeholder interviews to hear what others have to say about the leader. All information is collected anonymously and confidentially. The specifics are only shared with the leader him/herself.

The second ongoing element are pre-scheduled coaching meetings. Depending on the structure these generally occur every 2-4 weeks. At each meeting, you’ll work with your coach to explore recent situations and clarify future actions. You’ll work to make progress towards the areas that matter most. In between meetings, you may assigned ‘homework’ to help you progress along towards your goals.

The third element (beyond the coaching meetings) is open, ongoing communication. Whether working through ‘homework’ items or addressing new challenges and opportunities, clients are encouraged to contact their coach by phone or email at any time. This allows ongoing collaboration on various topics as issues arise.

The fee structure is based on the customized program developed for each client at the start. A fixed fee will be set in the beginning using the pre-planned frequency of regularly scheduled meetings and any other unique elements. This fee must be an investment that provides you a greater return than that which you invest.

If the proposed coaching fees do not fit within your business’s financial situation, we will help you find other outside options that may be more in line with your budgetary limitations.
