Coaching For Executives & Senior Leaders

The preparation of your executive and senior leadership team will have a significant impact on your organization's vision, strategy, project outcomes, and future success.

Van Petten Group's coaches are ready to work alongside your leadership team to address these challenges and devise solutions that will help your organization thrive in the twenty-first century.

Team Coaching

The strength of your company is only as strong as its weakest link. Dysfunctions can arise when teams fail to row in the same direction or toward the same goals. This, in turn, can have a long-term impact on the company as a whole. Team inconsistency, on the other hand, may frequently suggest an opportunity to address underlying issues, train underperformers, and develop new leaders. Van Petten Group specializes in assisting your team in identifying areas of weakness, not just pointing them out, but also implementing ideas and techniques to help you build a winning team culture.

Organizational Strategic Coaching

The organizations that will succeed in the twenty-first century are those that proactively set out to do so. Organizations can no longer sit back and expect clients, stakeholders, contributors, and opportunities to come to them. Winning companies must make the decision to do what it takes to be strategically proactive and pivot if necessary to get/stay ahead and thrive. This is feasible, but it requires a deeper understanding of the company's vision, mission, value proposition, and strategy, as well as the current needs and demands of the industry. This is where high-level strategic planning and execution take place. Van Petten Group has the expertise to guide your team through the process of developing a strategic vision and execution plan that clearly distinguishes you from the competition.

Life Coaching

You bring your whole self to work, regardless of your leadership position. There seems to be a separate job life, home life, spiritual life, and maybe many additional compartments at times. However, the fact is that you only have one life, and in order to find meaningful purpose and success on your own terms, you must be deliberate in your efforts to create the life you desire. There are times when you need some help integrating those compartments into a whole person who shows up at their best. This may include a mental shift, such as identifying and deleting old scripts that are no longer useful. To become unstuck, you may need to build on a specific area to be identified, such as your self-confidence or time management skills. Van Petten Group is here to help you live your best life.
