Mobius Executive Coaching

Of all the strategies you might formulate for achieving business success, getting a coach may be the single most effective step. Without a clear vision, a well thought-out plan, and the ability to follow through, most businesses fail. Whatever challenges you or your organization may be facing, having a business coach helps you keep those concerns on the front burner. A coach keeps you accountable and creates compelling reasons for you to follow through with the actions necessary for success.

Mobius coaches bring to their client work a strong belief in personal change and a wide lens on the skills and attributes required for real organizational leadership. These seasoned consultants have worked extensively with senior executives from Fortune 500 companies spanning many industries, including high tech, pharmaceuticals, finance, manufacturing, and insurance. They have worked with CEOs, CFOs, CTOs, and executive teams as well as sales, marketing, human resource, and finance professionals. Their coaching clients have included managers, individual contributors, and in-tact teams, with a focus on negotiation, communication, relationship management, and work-life balance.

Vision: The Mobius Transformational Coaching model immerses clients in a transformational experience that transcends the acquisition of knowledge, skills, and tools—but rather fosters professional, intellectual, and personal development at the deepest levels. The coaching relationship challenges executives to grow as leaders, to shape powerful ideas into competitive solutions, and to think and manage differently in a changing and fast paced business environment.

The Mobius Transformational Coaching model is holistic in nature, focusing on various interpersonal and intrapersonal dimensions of executive functioning. The aspects of reflection and practice include the Physical, Cognitive, Emotional, Spiritual and Interpersonal domains of a leader’s world. Our leadership development and coaching efforts put equal emphasis on the domains of “doing” and “being”, combining cutting-edge social technologies with a wider set of tools for developing inner maturity and depth. We are ideally working on individual leadership development with senior executive teams (micro) while working on organizational systems design and organizational evolution (macro) so the company can enjoy the synergies between these efforts.

Focus of Transformational Coaching: Doing, Thinking, Feeling and Being: All of our leadership and coaching work addresses multiple aspects of organizational life including: clarity of vision, ability to inspire, team building, skill to negotiate, ability to intervene in and transform conflict, know-how in systems design, tools to engage dialogue and build consensus around strategy and other mission-critical issues, working in ways that reflect and reinforce one’s core values, taking multiple perspectives, empathizing with others, and executing against a plan. There is a consistent focus throughout on leadership presence, self-knowledge, and personal mastery. Our leadership and coaching model focuses on four aspects of Self: our actions, our thinking and mindsets, our mood and emotions and our “beingness”. This model of whole person in action enables us to look at the underlying factors driving a person’s interpersonal behavioral footprint and coach them towards more choiceful behavioral repertoires that enable improved business results.

Our extraordinary consulting team fosters reflection and strategic action on the business critical issues all leaders face. We collectively have wide experience designing, implementing, and leading large-scale change efforts. The values based approach we take to our work enables us to help our clients align to their own corporate values, personal ethics and individual vision for their mission and contribution.

Seniority of Coaches and Consultants: For C-Suite and other senior executives we have a tier of senior consultants who serve as executive coaches. Many of these senior consultants serve as Lecturers at the Harvard Law School, at Stanford Law, at Columbia Law, and at other law schools teaching Negotiation, Business Ethics and Conflict Resolution. Others have been leaders in the field of coaching for the last fifteen years, including practitioners who have worked with the International Coaching Federation, MIT Learning Laboratory, Executive Coaching Summit, The International Consortium of Coaching in Organizations, Action Science/Action Design, and The Newfield Network.

We are confident that our team represents one of the highest caliber communities of practice available anywhere to coach and assist leaders in organizations.

Creating Reflective Practitioners: Much of our coaching is aimed at teaching our clients to become reflective practitioners of their own interpersonal style. Focusing on a chance to examine both a person’s actions and moves in dealing with business challenges as well as their mindsets and assumptions allows our coaching to raise awareness and choice. As our colleague Bob Putnam has remarked, “The power to reflect allows us to step outside the pressures of everyday business and see things in a new light. The trouble is, most reflection occurs privately in hallways or after the fact, when it no longer has the power to affect outcomes. Reflecting-in-action is the
paradoxical ability to step outside immediate events while still in them. It helps us consider fundamentally different alternatives while taking account of current constraints. Working with others in the moment, we can create more effective action.” Mobius coaching fosters the competency of reflecting in action, what our colleague, Bill Ury, refers to as “Going to the Balcony” so action choices are more informed, decisive, equanimous and productive.

Mindsets and Leadership: Richard Boyatzis, in his new book on Resonant Leadership, articulates three key mindsets for leaders to cultivate: mindfulness, hope and compassion.
In its deepest strands, and underlying its mindset and framework models, Mobius aspires to foster these attributes in its clients, offering tools and practices to engender greater degrees of self-awareness, personal mastery and connectivity with others.

This enhanced personal fluency and self-management, combined with greater emotional intelligence and flexibility of action produces enhanced possibilities of leadership and collaboration. It under girds any high performance organizational cultures and achievement of sustainable and powerful business results.

At its best, Mobius Coaching ignites leaders with increased awareness, consciousness, and wisdom, and the capacity to use them skillfully in challenging circumstances.
