Executive Coaching

It can be lonely at the top.

Too many leaders find it increasingly difficult to candidly discuss the challenges they face regarding capital, talent, and time with people inside their organizations. At the same time, too many "expert executive coaches" have enormous egos that make executive coaching all about them, failing to realize, as coaches, they should talk less and listen more.

In 2007, at the request of one executive at a Hartmann & Co. client, Bradley Hartmann began helping executives with 1:1 coaching. His passion is helping already successful leaders achieve positive, lasting change to improve communication, teamwork, and drive further growth for their organizations.

 

“Our sessions help me think through my alternatives more clearly and make decisions with more confidence.”

 Executives partner with Bradley when:

  • Frustrated by lack of personal or organizational growth

  • Lacking confidence in themselves and/or in their team

  • Feeling like they are surrounded by "Yes men / women"

  • Overwhelmed by current professional challenges impacting their personal lives

  • Stagnating in a current role they wish to move beyond

  • In need of an independent sounding board

 
 

Bradley's approach

Bradley's simple, yet highly effective approach to executive coaching is based on the belief that leadership is a team game.

Too many executives engage in month after month of private conversations with a coach that may lead to feelings of growth for the executive—and certainly lead to lucrative fees for the coach—yet yield largely meaningless results because the people who work for this executive do not see or feel any difference in their leadership.

Bradley's approach can be distilled down into a few steps:

  1. Confirm there is true motivation for change

  2. Identify specific behaviors that require improvement

  3. Involve key teammates in the coaching process

  4. Create structured timeline to collect on-going feedback from team

  5. Review results and share with team

  6. Achieve desired outcomes and end coaching
