Executive Coaching

by Executive Oasis International

Toronto Based Consulting Firm

Growing a business is demanding at the best of times. Succeeding in a turbulent economy is even more of a challenge. To ensure that your company survives, thrives and grows in a rapidly changing environment, the members of your executive team need the strategic agility to:

• identify and monitor key trends that have an impact on your industry
• anticipate and respond effectively to shifts in customer needs
• re-chart your course in the face of changing business realities
• win support for changes in corporate direction and structure

To ensure that your organization succeeds despite the challenges, we offer confidential coaching for executives and entrepreneurs. Based on an assessment of your needs, the executive coaching sessions can incorporate 360 degree feedback, interaction styles inventories, career assessment instruments, and confidential interviews with team members.

"Coaches can help people come to grips with huge changes in the way we do work, in getting through big transitions."

Anne has first hand experience in growing a business in boom and bust economies. She has experienced setbacks, reversals and tremendous success. [More]

Anne Thornley-Brown, our President and founder, was interviewed on CBC Radio 1's "The House" on the Saturday, December 6, 2008 broadcast.

If you missed it, you can listen to the podcast. You can hear Anne around the 30:00 remark, right after Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper's comments about trust building:

What We Don't Offer

If you are looking for detailed and rigourous analytical and financial tools and models, our approach would not be a good fit for you. Our focus is on innovation and using tools that will help executives from fast-paced organizations get a view of the lay of the land. We'll help you identify obstacles, challenges, and opportunities so that you can chart your course when action is needed.

"....most of the companies that are in life-or-death battles got into that kind of trouble because they didn't pay enough attention to developing their leaders."

          Wayne Calloway, Chairman, Pepsico Inc.

Our Approach

We'll begin our sessions with an assessment to help the individual members of your team:

• Identify and build on their strengths
• Pinpoint their developmental needs

Next, we will work with each individual to set objectives and formulate a plan to attain them. We will break it down in to achievable action steps with clearly defined milestones. All of this information will be provided in the form of a coaching summary. Next, we will meet on a regular basis, implement the plan and track progress. Typically, executive coaching consists of a combination of one-on one-meetings, tele-conferences and, for overseas clients, on-line coaching. Finally, we can re-administer the assessment tools and measure the results of our work together.
