Helping Successful People Be Even More Successful
It’s a fact of life: you get more bang for your buck if you help successful people get even better. I am privileged to work with extremely successful people who want to play at the top of their game. When I first started out working with executives, most of my clients were valued but derailed executives who needed to get back on track. They were usually executives who were interpersonally challenged or insensitive and weren’t able to connect with their coworkers.
This was relatively easy work for me, and I ended up looking like a miracle worker because I helped these executives step into their roles with less interpersonal friction. When the executive stopped being abrasive and started treating people more respectfully, the impact was immediately felt and greatly appreciated by all parties. Through my work, however, I’ve realized that although it’s important to help derailed executives, helping star performers is an even better investment.
Of course, this begs the question: how do you help smart, talented people grow and evolve when their mode of operation is working and no one is complaining? Luckily, there are a few ways you can help these already successful executives thrive.
