What is Global Executive Coaching?

By accompanying high potential executives and leaders as they take on more global roles, lead new multicultural teams or experience the U-curve adaptation cycle of an international assignment, we provide them with support and active listening in order to:

Surface awareness		Strengthen skills and competencies
Shift Perceptions		Switch styles and behaviors to fit context
		Going from goal to goal is really only management, moving things along. Leaders need to envision a different reality and live it by example. Only then will people want to follow them.
		"Executive coaching can work when clients have high potential, their performance is key to the organization, or they are dominant personalities who need to develop softer skills (or less assertive people who need to improve at making tough decisions). But coaching isn't appropriate if the potential client is on the way out the door, is in the wrong job, has significant personal problems or is resistant to being coached" - Anna Marie Valerio and Robert J. Lee Pfeiffer

Global Executive Coaching is specifically for clients who are:

• Involved in M&As, JVs , Global alliances and partnerships

Coaching offered by Effective Global Leadership enables executives to approach problem-solving with innovative skills and mindfulness.

Executives are no longer local, regional, national nor international: they are all global executives. Newly emerging economies, political structures, and the pursuit of a cultural identity are some of the challenges globalization has brought to the forefront, and global executives are facing these challenges, on a daily basis.

• Crossing cultural boundaries has always been a challenge which generates new experiences, creative abilities and innovations.
• The key to success is mastering intercultural competencies and understanding the impact of globalization on one's own culture, one's cultural biases and how one's "good intentions" and behaviors are perceived by others. This is part of a lifelong process towards acquiring Cultural Intelligence (CQi).
• The skills and qualities of a culturally intelligent leader enable him or her not only to handle intercultural challenges, but, above all, to unfold the potential to be found in inter-and intra-national diversity and to give depth and meaning to the trendy words like synergy and value-added.
• By developing Cultural Intelligence (CQi), Emotional Intelligence (EQi) and Social Intelligence (SQi), global executives will not just survive, but thrive as leaders in the new global economy and multicultural business environment.
