FOR COMPANIES/EXECUTIVES

Executive Coaching

Using the TEC method, Ted Middelberg supports the executive’s success through a coaching engagement marked by laser-focused goal setting, a disciplined process, and a passionate commitment to measurable results. This heavy lifting happens within a safe and trusting relationship that creates an environment where tough issues can be openly discussed and the barriers to change actively addressed. Ted’s emphasis on systems and his background in organizational development make him particularly effective when coaching multiple executives in an organization.

Ted enters an organization as an executive coach, working one-on-one with the client. His significant business and academic experience enables him to support his clients with a wide variety of Value-added Services:

The transition to a new leader is critical to an organization. The top leadership team can be engaged to ensure that the ramp-up or on-boarding process is as fast and efficient at possible. This pragmatic, outcome-focused approach can be designed into a half-day or full-day of activities that are linked to real challenges, where the soft skills are immediately applied to doing the real work.

Sometimes the leader can take change only so far without addressing the restraining forces imposed by team dynamics. Ted focused his dissertation on what leaders do that really makes a difference on team performance and continues that passion with interventions that focus on the team as the client, using his extensive applied training on team dynamics and diagnostics.

TEC is a relationship-based model for sustained change at the individual level, and sometimes, it is the team or organization that has to change. A trusted advisor can guide leaders, teams, and their organizations through the process of change, the human side of change. Ted can work behind the scenes to enable the executive to be the visible guiding force for successful change.

A self-compassionate approach to conflict differentiates between conflict that is necessary and vital to organizational success and the festering type that undermines effective working relationships and business success. This process is enriched by a deep understanding of group dynamics and the tools and techniques of leadership development programs.

Apply a pragmatic process for defining meeting outcomes and then determine the activity set that will best achieve those results. Real-time facilitation includes an approach to following good meeting processes, getting high levels of engagement, and holding all participants accountable for the success of the meeting.

Develop outcome-focused messages supported by visually appealing presentations. Improve platform skills that add congruency between what is said, what is on the screen, and what is conveyed through the presenter’s body language.

The benefits of executive coaching can cascade within an organization by training executives who have experienced the benefits and potency of coaching to serve as coaches to the next level of leaders. With proper supervision and support, this can be a great model for making coaching cost effective. TEC was written primarily for coaches who want to elevate their skills and can also be useful to executives.
