Executive Coaching


“To hear the unheard,” remarked Pan Ku, “is a necessary discipline to be a good ruler. For only when a ruler has learned to listen closely to the people’s hearts, hearing their feelings uncommunicated, pains unexpressed, and complaints not spoken of, can he hope to inspire confidence in his people, understand when something is wrong, and meet the true needs of his citizens. The demise of states comes when leaders listen only to superficial words and do not penetrate deeply into the souls of the people to hear their true opinions, feelings and desires.”

“The Sound of the Forest”, Parables of Leadership, by W. Chan Kim and Renee A. Mauborgne, Harvard Business Review, 1992

Executive leadership requires communicating from a “whole picture” perspective of the organization and its stakeholders. Orion Executive Coaching programs foster strengthened capabilities in:

  1. Executive communications
  2. Managing the board of directors
  3. Providing vision and developing strategy
  4. Enabling the management team and whole organization to execute against strategy
  5. Ensuring accountability

In addition, executive leaders must orient their role around authentic leadership that taps into their life experience, passions, and gifts so that leadership activity draws upon who they are not just techniques. This deepens trust, loyalty and followership at all levels of the organization for great long-term results.

“Craig interacted with me with extraordinary insight and sensitivity. He dug deep enough to really make me challenge my assumptions regarding perceptions and try new approaches to frustrating behavior patterns (running from conflict, unwillingness to show vulnerability, etc…) however never crossed a line where I felt uncomfortable—in fact, I always felt enormously supported.”
