“Larry Vaughan's executive coaching services were instrumental in helping my leadership team enhance their supervisory abilities, grow their emotional intelligence and begin to look at their respective teams as the high potential professionals that they are.

“Last year, my company brought in Larry Vaughan to help us through an on-the-job fatality. Although it was an incredibly difficult time for our workforce, Larry was amazing in counseling our folks at every level, from line worker through senior leadership. In fact, I was so impressed that, months after the incident, I reached out to Larry and asked if he offered executive/business coaching. I was thrilled when he said that it was one of his specialties.
I engaged Larry as a business coach in early 2023. As a young executive in a stressful industry, I was looking for someone who could bring a unique perspective to my challenges but also offer tools to cope with these challenges. He developed a quick understanding of my situation and framed it in such a way that I felt like he had been working right alongside of me. Larry strikes the perfect balance of fine listening with engaging (sometimes even challenging) questions. Not only does he effectively coach to specific events and personalities, but he works with you to identify patterns and develop tools to apply throughout the course of your day.
I am grateful to Larry for the guidance and counsel over this past year and look forward to continuing our partnership.” — Paul Marker, Vice President of Operations, WIN Waste Innovations

Executive coaching is a professional development process that aims to help individuals in leadership roles (such as executives, managers, and business leaders) enhance their skills, performance, and overall effectiveness in their roles. It is a highly personalized and confidential form of coaching that involves a one-on-one relationship between a coach and an executive. Here's how executive coaching generally works:
Assessment and Goal Setting:
The coaching process typically begins with an initial assessment to identify the executive's strengths, weaknesses, and development needs.
The executive and coach work together to set specific, measurable, and achievable goals for the coaching engagement. These goals should align with the executive's personal and professional objectives as well as the organization's strategic priorities.
Coaching Sessions:
Coaching sessions are typically conducted in a private and confidential setting. They can be held in person, over the phone, or via video conferencing, depending on the preferences and availability of both the coach and the executive.
Feedback and Self-Reflection:
The coach provides constructive feedback based on observations, assessments, and discussions with the executive. This feedback helps the executive gain insight into their behavior, leadership style, and communication skills.
Skill Development:
The coach works with the executive to develop and implement strategies for skill enhancement and behavioral change. This might involve setting action plans, practicing new techniques, and experimenting with different approaches.
Accountability and Support:
The coach holds the executive accountable for their progress and helps them stay on track toward achieving their goals.
The coach provides ongoing support and guidance, serving as a sounding board for the executive's ideas and challenges.
Measurement and Evaluation:
Throughout the coaching engagement, progress is assessed and measured against the initial goals.
The executive and coach periodically review and adjust the coaching plan as needed.
Closure and Reflection:
When the coaching engagement nears its conclusion, the executive and coach reflect on the progress made and the skills developed.
They also discuss strategies for maintaining the improvements and continuing personal and professional growth beyond the coaching relationship.
Follow-Up and Sustainment:
Many coaching relationships include follow-up sessions or support to help the executive sustain their development gains and continue to grow as a leader.
Confidentiality:
Confidentiality is a fundamental aspect of executive coaching. Coaches are typically bound by ethical guidelines not to disclose any information shared during coaching sessions without the executive's consent.
