Approach
Jordan believes that the most effective executive coaches provide a mixture of coaching, consulting and mentoring. Similar to other types of coaches, they ask powerful questions to help executives identify and articulate who they are and what they stand for (their why). And, they help executives design their future.
They are also willing to share their deep expertise in business, leadership, human development, psychology, etc. When an executive doesn’t know what they don’t know, these master coaches are able to teach models, processes, and skills. They do not tell their clients what to do. They provide the
information and options to help their clients make more effective decisions and choices.
Jordan creates a safe, confidential environment for senior executives to identify their strengths and challenges. He helps them identify and articulate who they are and what they stand for (core values or their “why”). He conducts interviews to ascertain the perceptions and expectations of key stakeholders. He helps his clients select one or two powerful leadership development goals.
He encourages his clients to implement Marshall Goldsmith’s Feed Forward process so they directly change their relationships with their stakeholders. Executives who engage in Feed Forward demonstrate humility, courage, respect, and commitment to results. They model behavior necessary to build a coaching culture.
Jordan offers leading edge business and leadership models, processes and skills when applicable. These include the application of Lean and Agile methodology to senior executive teams.
