EQL Executive Coaching
Why should you manage your career by yourself? Great athletes have recognized for a long time that they needed a team to reach the highest levels of their profession. Great executives are learning the same lesson.
We Believe in ‘No Nonsense’ Career Coaching.
Busy executives are future focused and outcomes oriented. Our coaching programs and process are aligned the same way. We provide a sounding board and, when necessary, a virtual ‘sparring partner’ to help you transform your career.
Are you Considering a Job Search?
We will help you develop a strategy and a mindset that will set you apart from your competition. You won’t have to re-invent the wheel. You already have the tools in your executive tool kit to conduct a successful search. We’ll help you re-purpose those tools and keep you focused. As the CEO of your career, you’ll continue to deploy that new mindset throughout the rest of your career.
Have you Recently Joined a New Company?
You’ll only get one chance to make a great impression. The first ninety days can be make or break for a successful, long term tenure. We will help you successfully navigate through a new culture, enhance your executive presence and expertly engage with the people in your ecosystem.
Are You Feeling Mentally Unemployed?
Mental unemployment among executives is typically followed by actual unemployment. If you’re conducting a job search and you’re mentally disengaged from your company then you become an uncompetitive job candidate. Successful re-engagement requires a whole host of mental and emotional adjustments. And that takes work. We’ll develop a customized plan that will help you reboot your career.
