The Bates Executive Coaching Program is a powerful experience, designed to help executives who want to rapidly accelerate their development as leaders and become the best they can be.

Partnering with a skilled, seasoned executive coach, together you set goals and work in real time on the challenges and opportunities you face in your career.

When would you engage an executive coach? When you are:

• Selected as a high potential leader
• Leading your organization through change
• Communicating with important, high stakes audiences such as boards, executive teams, analysts or media
• Promoted to a significant new role
• Leading a challenging project or initiative
• Looking to improve your leadership skills
• Seeking to become more visible in your company and industry

Executive coaching is the fastest, most personalized way to achieve your career goals and business objectives. Your coaching sessions are flexible and designed to help you focus on the highest priorities on your calendar, while building skills to achieve your long term goals. You develop goals and an action plan with your coach, based on your own assessment of strengths and areas for development.

While the executive coaching program is designed to address a variety of leader’s needs, many executives select us because of our specialty in communication.

Our clients recognize the absolute necessity of writing, speaking and communicating at the leadership level. They want to be able to inspire people with big ideas, deliver compelling presentations, project powerful executive presence, and influence decisions.

The most rewarding aspect of coaching is working with a partner with whom you can share confidential information in a supportive atmosphere. Ask our clients, and they will tell you coaching has helped them gain confidence, find new energy and enjoy greater satisfaction in their careers.

Testimonials about Executive Coaching

"Working with Bates Communications has been a tremendous asset to our company.  Sarah Woods immediately connected with our executive team and quickly understood the nuances of our business, enabling her to have an immediate impact.  She brings tremendous insight and relevance with directness and a sense of humor.  She was able to achieve breakthrough results on an executive coaching assignment.  Comments from colleagues included “What an amazing turnaround”, “The difference was immediate and lasting”, “[This executive] has so much more impact now”.   As our business needs changed, Sarah was a step ahead and provided valuable guidance and strategic thinking to enable our team to effectively lead the organization through change.   I highly recommend Bates Communications and look forward to working with the firm again soon."
