Our Methods: Executive Coaching

At Strategex, we believe that each executive we coach is creative, resourceful and fully capable of creating their own success — a co-active coaching model. Our purpose is to integrate and align the personal leadership development of the individual with the needs of the organization. Coaching provides a structured way for organizations to deepen relationships with their most valued employees while increasing overall leadership effectiveness.

Leadership development starts with self development. The best way to build leadership skills is to work with individual leaders guiding them to facilitate their own personal self improvement journey. In support of our executive coaching services, we offer a full line of assessment tools including the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) for executive coaching and team building; the Strong Interest Inventory for career counseling and other selected assessment tools. For individual and organizational leadership development, we offer the Leadership Effectiveness Assessment 360° (LEA) feedback tool and the Leadership Feedback System, (LFS).
