The best athletes have coaches. As a CEO, I work with an executive coach from Berman Leadership to help me stay focused, help my team stay focused, help me communicate better, and help my team communicate better. I appreciate being able to bounce ideas off of them when I’m seeing issues from personnel to strategy. Their psychology based approach combined with business experience helps me navigate new problems and gives me great guidance for how to get from point A to point B when you don’t have a map.

Every engagement I source, I look at the executive, the personality, the leadership, and the coach’s style, cadence, and approach to make sure they’re going to be the best fit. If I have a very senior executive in a critical, important role, I call on Berman Leadership for the high stakes assignment because the individual and the outcome are so important.
