LEADERS IN EXECUTIVE COACHING

Heather Dawson, executive coach at Praesta, looks at the pressured, modern world in which we work and highlights the key skills and disciplines needed to thrive in this environment.

In the 21st century, work at senior levels has accelerated – many executives find themselves in a “faster-faster” world, with unrelenting pressure, global travel and high performance expectations. Yet, contrary to popular belief, many individuals prosper in this pressured environment.

Heather’s paper ‘Thriving in the Faster-Faster World’ provides coaching tips on the key skills and disciplines top level executives need to use to excel, such as knowing what really matters and planning and thinking ahead. The paper goes on to describe another set of attributes – the “faster, faster disciplines” that give executives an edge. These include creating and using what Praesta Partners call an ‘Oxygen Tent’, the means by which an executive refreshes him or herself mentally, physically and spiritually so as to remain consistently on top of the game.
