  The Coach Approach to Executive and Organizational Development What is organizational development? Organizational development is the field concerned with the health and well being of the organization as a whole interconnected system of many parts including people. The organizational development professional has expertise in diagnosing and prescribing actions needed to continuously improve those systems. This is an expertise that I bring to coaching with my clients that sets me apart from other coaches. Who do you work with? I coach with new and experienced executives who lead organizations, departments or teams. In these roles they are expected to simultaneously build the capabilities of their organizations for the future, lead in ways that get the most from the people around them, and meet business goals. What do you work on? I coach my clients to leverage the leadership vantage point of their position to envision a better future for their organization or team and to work with all parts of the system using the skills of leadership and their own style. In our coaching relationship, we work on developing the executive as an effective leader while working on business issues or organizational development, using a coaching approach, rather than traditional consulting when working on the organizational issues like vision, strategy or structure. What is a coach approach? A coach approach means I don't figure out the problems, produce paper or "deliverables". I coach my clients to do the doing. This letter from a long time client and CEO Jane Ransom, really paints the picture of how I work to integrate an executive's development with their efforts to make impactful change and lead for bottom-line results.
