Mainline Executive Coaching ACT

There are a lot of Executive Coaches out there.  Some say that the market is saturated, but they're wrong. The simple fact of the matter is that there are not enough extraordinary coaches in practice today.  To be an effective business coach, you must have real-world experience. They don’t teach the day-to-day of the workplace in school. You have to have been there and done that to have the insights and relatable examples. 

In terms of coaches, an executive coach should have prior experience working at a high level in a corporation or as a successful entrepreneur for a significant period. They should have had direct-line responsibilities and bottom-line accountability, with a considerable number of employees reporting to them in various scenarios. In addition, they should have a coaching certification showing that they have put in the time to learn how to coach. Only coaches with this kind of experience can truly understand the situation you are facing and provide effective guidance.

Yes, there are a lot of folks hanging out the shingle to be a coach, but who do you want to guide you, and your organization to success? To coin another catchphrase, "Choose Wisely."

Rich and Maikel discuss the relevance of executive coaching in this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

The Golden Rule - the moral precept that asks us to treat others as we would like others to treat ourselves. A simple concept that seems to be all but a thing of the past. As a society, this is reflected in declining social graces. Fowl language is now part of daily discourse. Contempt for authority is rife. People hide behind social media platforms with Cheeto-stained fingers and can call each other names, put down another person's viewpoint, or simply be faceless bullies. Town hall meetings have become screaming matches and the more crazy a Karen is, the more views the video gets. 

But what about our workplaces?

Rich and Maikel unpack the issues around civil discourse in the workplace in this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

To be honest, when it comes to AI, Isaac Asimov comes to mind with his book, I, Robot. With the three primary laws of robotics, along with the movie starring Will Smith, AI seemed to be far-flung and futuristic.  Never had there been a consideration that AI could help in the coaching process. The primary concern would be that the human element that is so crucial to the coach/client relationship would start to diminish. Or worse, be replaced by a supercomputer named VIKI and guarded by homicidal NS-5 robots. 

However, our guest on today's episode, Samiur Rahman, has dispelled some of those concerns. In reality, for professional coaches, generative AI can be immensely helpful in several ways. for example,  AI could automate the tasks of preparing for sessions, which coaches spend a lot of time on, or, analyze past interactions and behaviors to create customized content to help individuals improve in specific areas. 

Samiur Rahman is the CEO and Co-founder of the company, Heyday. Along with his business partner, Sam DeBrule, their organization focuses on helping coaches become more efficient by eliminating some of the tedious tasks associated with coaching, allowing the coach to spend more effective time with their clients.

Join Rich and Maikel as they discuss AI with Samiur and its impact on coaching on this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

While the traditional characteristics of physical strength and dominance may still hold some relevance, many companies are now focusing on a more nuanced understanding of leadership. The modern definition of an "Alpha" leader encompasses a broader range of qualities beyond mere assertiveness.

Leadership in contemporary businesses is increasingly associated with emotional intelligence, empathy, collaboration, and adaptability. Effective leaders are those who can build strong relationships, understand and support their team members, and navigate complex organizational dynamics. They prioritize the well-being and growth of their team and foster an inclusive and diverse work environment. In other words, an effective Alpha leader is the first line of defense for their team and organization.

In the second part of this series, we discuss the healthy attributes of a genuine Alpha leader in this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

Approximately 70% of all senior executives are considered Alphas, making them an integral part of modern corporations. The term "alpha" derives from the first letter of the Greek alphabet (Α, α), symbolizing dominance in a given field. Attaining the top position necessitates possessing a unique set of skills and qualities that are exceedingly rare. Note that we are not referring to the top 1% but rather the even more exclusive 0.01%.

The high-performing Alpha Leader is at the apex of power, wealth, influence, and affluence. However, are Alphas good or bad for today's organizations? In this two-part series, we discuss both sides of the Alpha equation. So join Rich and Maikel as we discuss just who are the Alpha leaders and the impact they have on business on today's episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

A prevalent statement you often come across is, "HR serves the company, not the employees." This statement holds true! However, it does not imply that HR is inherently untrustworthy or that you should anticipate them to be confrontational when seeking assistance. Human Resources fulfills an important and complex role in balancing what’s best for the company with what is best for its employees. When employees experience interpersonal issues at work, HR is often considered as the go-to. 

But what do you do when HR ignores the problem, makes it worse, or is the problem?

An HR problem is incredibly damaging to an organization and its reputation. It can create a toxic company culture that impedes productivity, collaboration, and increases resignations. Furthermore, HR can also create problems regarding prospective employees in the recruitment process, repelling great candidates, or ignoring the talent that the organization truly needs.

Rich and Maikel discuss issues in HR in this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

Mistakes are an inherent part of life, and they have the power to shape us positively if we choose to perceive them that way. Instead of fearing or avoiding mistakes, we should embrace them as valuable lessons in our journey of personal and professional development.

When we make mistakes, it indicates that we took a risk, tried something new, and stepped out of our comfort zone. Whether small or significant, every mistake offers a chance to gain knowledge, wisdom, and resilience.  However, when leaders attempt to conceal or disregard their mistakes, shift blame onto others, or choose to ignore issues hoping they will magically disappear, it is during these moments that trust begins to erode.

Rich and Maikel discuss the ability to channel our inner idiot into positive outcomes on this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

Executive Presence (EP) is a fairly recent term that outlines the perceived qualities of what a senior manager or C-Suite executive must have. Up-and-coming leaders have long been told that to be considered for these roles, they must demonstrate “Executive Presence” (EP). These attributes include gravitas, communication, and appearance traits. In 2012 these attributes included a blue-chip pedigree, the ability to command a room, and a slick, polished, tall look with lots of youthful vim and vigor. 

However, over the past decade as a result of the pandemic, political and economic instability, social movements, and changing workplace technologies, what people expect from leaders has changed. But what are some of the new EP requirements (read the article in HBR here)? Although some of the required attributes have stayed relatively the same, and some have been improved, many of the new requirements feel, well, a bit watered down. So the question arises, has EP improved over the last decade? Or perhaps, are we allowing leaders to hang out in the kiddie pool? Global statistics on leadership indicate the latter (check out the hottest item in business today for those statistics).

Rich and Maikel dive into the deep end of EP on this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

Globally, leadership challenges today are an existential one. When faced with crises, we humans tend to default to our muscle memory, that is, do it because that is how we have always done it. But how we have led in the past will not take us where we aspire to be. The time has come to embrace a new kind of leader who is prepared to take on the promise of innovative problem-solving, as well as innovative relationship-building. A leader who is willing and able to unleash the abundant talents and passions all around them, and leverage them to create a better world.
In this episode, we discuss three styles of leaders called the ABCs of leadership, which are the Architect, Builder, and Catalyst. 
Join us on this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

There are two fundamental motivators in life – fears (kinds of abandonment) and aspirations (desires).  Our fears encourage us to operate by strategies and tactics of avoidance that diminish who we are, our talents, options, and possible opportunities.
This life strategy compels us to play small and deny our potential. So, we not only play small, we become smaller. We embrace smallness. 

Aspirational desires, based upon enduring principles of happiness and success, motivate us to assert ourselves for achieving "more" or put another way, greatness. Healthy aspirations bring us more because we must develop ourselves first to build a bigger, better life, however, you define those terms. As we do this work and continue our personal and professional growth, we position and qualify ourselves to lead others with integrity.

Leaders, ask yourself these two questions:

• What have you noticed about how fears influence you to play small or pursue small things? 
• What life aspirations from the past or the present have motivated you to play big or pursue significant goals in your life? 

In this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT, we talk about five specific fears that hold us back, our teams back, and our organizations back as well.

Leaders, Lead Well!
