Strategic Coaching

CEOs and key executives of middle market companies often find that their strategic skills need improvement, particularly as they grow from one level of an organization to the next. Strategic executive coaching focuses on improving a leader’s ability to think strategically and on creating a profitable strategy that targets his/her best opportunities. Although it includes behavioral leadership coaching, it is focused on strategy. Mary has coached and designed strategic processes for hundreds of C-Suite executives in companies of all sizes.
