As in many fields of endeavor, such as sports and the performing arts, skillful coaching significantly improves individual and team performance. Originally employed mainly to address targeted problems, companies now invest in coaching more regularly and broadly where the ROI will be greatest—the support and development of their high-potential leaders and managers.
Crossroads is a pioneer in the field of executive coaching. Since 1985, we have coached thousands of professionals all over the world in a variety of industries (advertising, hospitality, aerospace, applied science, architecture, software development, finance, to name a few). We work with entrepreneurs, corporate executives, and other individuals/teams, in clarifying visions, creating and executing strategies, and communicating/acting with power and effectiveness to exceed goals.
The focus of coaching engagements often includes: leading an organization to invent and execute a vision/strategy, managing a department/division to achieve its mandate, an individual succeeding in a new or existing role or finding a new role, achieving a promotion, developing a new skill or resolving a weakness, and having a team gel and achieve an unprecedented outcome.
The structure is always customized to individual and situational need, but typically engagements last 6 months to a year, and generally 4 – 6 hours per month. The executive coaching sessions are done in-person or via teleconference or phone. Although Crossroads is headquartered in L.A., we consult professionals all over the world.
We include in our work attention to the well-being, happiness, and peace of mind of the individual as they work to achieve their intentions. We operate with profound respect, and straight-forward authenticity and integrity, since these principles increase the value and empowerment of our work.
