How I Work
What can you expect from working with Art Haines as an executive coach? Take a moment to read about the types of results I have achieved for coaching clients, the beliefs that guide my coaching work, the approach I take to executive coaching and how my services are different from other coaches.
What you can expect: Results now and in the future
My approach to executive coaching is very results oriented. With my assistance, each of my clients identifies the outcomes they want to achieve from coaching. Often these are expressed in measurable or observable terms.
When you work with me, here are some outcomes you can expect:
- You will clearly define success in your professional and personal life.
- You will have the ability to focus your time and energy on the actions that bring success.
- You will shift the behaviors, attitudes and beliefs that are getting in your way.
- You will make changes in your actions that lead to more effective working relationships and a satisfying career.
- You will take concrete steps to re-energize your career by restructuring your current position or seeking new opportunities.
- You will develop the leadership and management skills needed to respond to new organizational and marketplace demands.
- You will make critical decisions about the next steps in your career in line with your skills and the contributions you want to make.
Guiding Beliefs
My work as an executive coach is based upon these core beliefs:
- Coaching is a partnership between the coach and the client. We work together to achieve the results you want from the coaching program.
- Results and satisfaction are the measures of success for coaching. Every coaching program works for measurable and observable results and professional satisfaction that was not possible before coaching started.
- Lasting change requires the marriage of insight with action. Insight without new action and changes in behavior is of limited value. Action without a good foundation of understanding is often not sustained.
My Approach
I work hard to respond to the individual needs of each of my coaching clients. Every coaching relationship begins with a personal consultation at no cost or obligation to the client. This meeting will enable us to determine the fit between your needs and my skills and experience.
Before coaching begins, we will agree on the purpose and outcomes for the coaching work. I will prepare a written proposal that includes the purpose, outcomes, content of the coaching work, approximate duration, costs and payment terms.
Every coaching program includes face-to-face (or telephone) meetings complemented by exercises, practices and reading for the client to work on in the time between meetings. I also provide a variety of assessment tools including a competency and values inventory, a personality profile and an emotional intelligence assessment.
After each coaching meeting I create an e-mail summary of key discussion points, follow-up action and reflection that I have had on the meeting. I also am available for informal telephone and e-mail consultation in the time between coaching meetings. My clients find these services to be especially valuable to them.
What Makes Me Unique
I have over 30 years experience in positions ranging from multi-million dollar operating responsibility, to Chief Information Officer and corporate planning and marketing. Over the past three years, I have shifted my career from the corporate world into my own coaching and consulting practice. I have dealt with many of the same leadership and career development issues that I now assist my clients with.
My management and leadership skills were honed in the rigors and complexity of the health care industry. This experience provides me with the capacity to address difficult multifaceted issues with clients from a variety of fields.
I complement this depth of management experience with over 15 years’ experience and training in executive coaching. As a Certified Integral Coach, I am trained to look at every coaching situation from four perspectives:
- Skills, competency and observable behavior
- Values, aspirations and emotional capacity
- Interpersonal relationships
- Results achieved
This integral approach enables me to diagnose complex coaching problems and focus on coaching strategies offering the greatest potential benefit.
