Q: How hard was it to re-focus with such a short time off the medal podium and the next event?

A: I had about five coaches on my rear in the warm-down pool making me re-focus so I didn't have a choice.

Pro-active: An emerging leader is on your radar, you don't want to lose them to the competition while "that position" opens up, you need to send culture message: "We invest in our leaders", and/or you know what got them here won't get them there... some "tweaking" of business behavior is in order

Incentive: Your culture is about the people; this year a few select leaders will not only receive a "job well done" merit raise but the career-impacting investment of a coaching engagement a individualized road map to even greater success.

Re-active: A leader's business behavior is hurting them and costing you with undesired turnover, disengaged direct reports, HR complaints, office conflict, low productivity; it has become a corrective measure you hope to keep the employee.

"People change when they hurt enough that they have to; learn enough that they want to, and receive enough that they are able to."

~ John Maxwell

"If you are selected for coaching, the attitude, as they say, is gratitude.... You have after all, just been handed a customized map of the road to success. And fortunate you are ... in the employ that values you despite your flaws and actually — mirable dictum — wants to invest in you."

~ Harvard Management Update

My Story: The People Developer

My Story: The People Developer from Steve Laswell on Vimeo.

Why do people use Next Level Coaching?

Why would the Senior VP of a Fortune 500 company secure The People Developer to coach one of their Vice Presidents and Key Player/Managers who one year later was promoted to VP?

Why would a major health care provider retain The People Developer back again and again to coach vital members of their physician and surgeon team?

Why would the president of a successful, family-owned company enlist The People Developer for succession coaching; then engage me for other emerging leaders, and then as an executive coach for himself?

Why would a small business owner engage The People Developer when their market share was less than desired, to help develop her leadership, and then enjoy significant increase in revenue the next year?

Why do people place confidence in me as an executive coach?
