Scenario 

Alain had all the potential to be an executive without the presence of an executive. He had high potential to be more, but he didn’t know how to realize that. He had rough relationships with some of his peers and senior management and, as a result, created friction in these relationships. 

Intervention 

We helped Alain move from a short-term revenue goal to a longitudinal view of his role in supporting growth in the company. We worked with him to develop and mend the relationships with his co-workers and with company leadership, including reconnecting with those in the company who helped him in his journey. Our executive coaching program helped him set a long-term view of the business opportunities available to him and his company, and then develop an executive presence that enabled other people to see him as the leader he knew himself to be. 

Outcome 

As a result of Griffin Dunn’s Coaching, he got the promotion he aspired to and became second-in-command with global influence and reach. He is now known for building strong relationships within and across his sphere of influence at the company. As a result, he is now being trusted with high-priority projects and receives the highest respect within the C-suite. Alain is now regularly consulted for his ability and expertise in the field of sales.
