Our mission is to help make the world a better place by helping you have a greater impact – to help you self-actualize more fully and completely, so you can be a much more dynamic, effective, purpose-driven leader.
“One of the saddest things in life is to get to the end
and look back in regret, knowing that
you could have been, done, and had so much more.”
– Robin Sharma
PRIVATE, INDIVIDUAL COACHING – AREAS OF FOCUS
We focus our coaching work in three key areas:
- Leadership, Executive Presence, and Soft Skills (effectively managing your team, making yourself known, and other “how tos” of business)
- Self-Mastery and Self-Actualization (including living in balance)
- Transition (including selling a family business, onboarding to new positions and roles, as well as retirement transition)
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY:
WHAT COACHING IS LIKE
Coaching involves reflection, inquiry, feedback, and discussion. When you work with us, you’ll get a new perspective on problems, discover new ways of approaching your career, your relationships, and your life. Many of our coaching clients use their sessions to calibrate and assess existing strategies.
In your sessions, you’ll discuss ways you can be more effective, efficient, and productive, and you’ll often analyze situations from a variety of angles to see if another perspective or strategy would work better. You’ll develop action plans, and your coach will hold you accountable to implementing those action plans. And you’ll work on leadership strategies, creating a successful corporate culture, and getting the best out of your team.
HOW COACHING WORKS
Initial Phone Conversation
It starts with a phone conversation to ascertain if you’re a good fit with your coach. You’ll have a chance to talk with your coach about your life and your business or your career, and to get to know your coach, so that you can both determine if it’s a good fit.
Your Commitment
Once you and and your coach have decided to move forward in our work together, you’ll commit to three things:
- Regular phone-based coaching. Most of our clients have weekly coaching conversations with their coach. Some also have daily morning or evening check-ins, as well as “vent sessions,” to blow off steam.
- Commitment Length. We prefer to work with clients that we can impact in a substantial, significant way. Therefore, we limit my coaching work to clients who are willing to commit to a minimum of six months of coaching, with a three-month trial period, and the understanding that your work may not be “done” within that timeframe.
- Doing the work. Successful coaching requires the client to be fully present and accountable. We ask that you:
- Set aside the time for each coaching session such that you are in a quiet, interrupted space with no distractions.
- Be on time.
- Be prepared to dig deep and get real.
- Do the homework – the in-between-session pondering, exercises, and “thought experiments” that your coach may assign to you.
Your coach will push you, helping you to resolve old wounds, revise ineffective strategies and patterns, learn new skillsets, and develop more effective coping mechanisms. You’ll discover more about yourself in the first month than you probably have in years.
Many of my coaching clients stay with me for years, continuously pressing their boundaries and self-discovery, achieving more than they ever imagined they could. Your coach will become a trusted resource, ally, and mentor, but it is not our intent for clients to become dependent, so you can expect your coach to encourage independence at every step.
The Process
You’ll begin with an initial assessment…or two. We’ll start with a personality assessment, which provides us with a shared language to begin our work together. You’ll also complete a leadership skillset assessment. This metrics-based assessment provides us with a baseline measurement for where you are in specific leadership skills and where we need to spend time. Depending on your situation, we may also complete a 360 assessment, which will give us a much richer dataset to work with.
Then you’ll start sessions. The inner workings of a coaching conversation are somewhat difficult to describe, as they vary from client to client, being tailored to the specific needs, goals, and personality of each client. Our coaches possess a substantial “toolbox” of methods to help root out the cause of challenges and struggle, and they will use whatever modalities are best suited to you, your personality, and your goals.
The way in which you work with your coach will be specifically designed in terms of what works best for you. For example, some of our coaching clients work best in a highly structured environment, with a clearly established routine: each session has the same structure each week. Other clients prefer a flowing conversation that may delve into unanticipated (but highly relevant and productive) topics before coming back to the original agenda.
Your coach will meet you where you are and guide you to the kind of session that works best for you to make major leaps. Most sessions are 45 minutes to an hour in length (with the exception of morning/evening check-ins and vent sessions, which are typically 15-minute sessions, held in addition to the weekly sessions).
We’ll measure your progress. You’ll repeat your skillset assessment every 6 or 12 months, depending on your needs. We’ll go over the results together and discuss where to adjust and where to invest more time. You may wish to repeat your 360, but we recommend that you wait 1-2 years in between assessments.
It’s important to find a coach who can respect your vulnerability and meet you where you are. The coaching relationship is a unique relationship that you and your coach will co-create. There are times when your coach may just listen to you for awhile. Sometimes it takes time to build trust and let off steam before you do a deep dive, and that’s okay. Your coach will assess where you are and what you’re ready to do. And when you’re ready, that’s when you’ll dig in and do some heavy lifting together.
The Rates
At Baroncini-Moe Executive Coaching, we do not work on an hourly basis. Our fees factor in regular meeting time as well as in-between session email access and emergency sessions. We do not publish rates publicly, but we do offer a variety of coaching packages and options designed to meet a range of needs. When you meet with your coach for an initial conversation, your coach will assess your needs, you’ll will determine if it’s a good fit for both of you. If it is a fit, your coach will provide you with a quote at that time.
Where needed, our rates will also include an annual, comprehensive board report, in which your coach will detail the results of your assessments, describing the work you’ve done, where you still need to place some attention, all while maintaining maximum confidentiality.
Circumstances under which we will not coach you:
If you suffer from a mental illness or your coach believes the issues that challenge you may be better served through working with a qualified therapist, we will make that recommendation and will not work with you until you have been adequately treated.
Also, we will not work with you if you are closed to new ideas or experiences. You must be coachable and willing to work toward your highest good.
