Leadership Development that Starts Where You Are
What is this program?
ExecCoach Kansas is a civic leadership development experience that is custom-designed for you and your busy schedule.
You will work one-on-one with a Kansas Leadership Center coach in a powerful partnership aimed at increasing the effectiveness of your leadership. Coaching benefits you and your organization by allowing you to:
- Make more conscious decisions.
- Practice new action and behaviors.
- Increase competence.
- Gain insight.
- Develop confidence in your leadership.
How does it work?
Coaching at the KLC is grounded in our core leadership principles, especially the beliefs that, “Leadership is an activity, not position,” and that “Anyone can lead, anytime, anywhere.” Your coach draws on KLC’s deep understanding of how to mobilize people to make progress on difficult challenges. Research shows that coaching provides enormous value for developing individuals and their organizations.
Six coaching sessions (face-to-face or by telephone) give you time to build a relationship with your coach. The two of you will work together to set coaching goals, assess your strengths and vulnerabilities, and design action steps.
Through the coaching process, you’ll learn, grow and put new leadership skills into practice within your organization or community.
