Context

In Search of Eagles, Inc is a Consulting & Coaching practice organized in 1995.  We work exclusively with an organization's key leaders and their leadership teams.

We are early adopters of Executive Coaching theory and practice.  We've completed advanced work in Organizational Relationship Systems Coaching concepts that focus on the executive team dynamics as compared to the individual executives.

In 2006, the International Coach Federation awarded Bill the Master Certified Coach (MCC) credential.  (There are fewer than 750 coaches in the world that hold that credential).  Susan has a Master's Degree in International Management from the University of Bristol Graduate School of International Business and 20 years experience as an executive in the non-profit arena.

In our earlier careers, we both were executives and consultants in the for-profit, non-profit and government arenas.  We have consciously and intentionally merged the life experiences of our two careers into the Authentic Leadership Model.

In our practice as Executive Leadership Coaches, we consistently encounter a common organizational distress that transcends the size of the organization or its markets or its industry.  This distress appears to be universal in response to three imperatives imposed by the 21st Century Global Economy:

  • To prosper, a business must excel in three areas: 1) Evolve at the velocity of change, which is continuing to accelerate, 2) Consistently exceed the client's expectations for off-the-shelf delivery of customized products or services, and 3) Create enduring relationships across companies, countries and cultures.
  • The executives leading these teams want more creativity, innovation and productivity for the team and less chaos, stress and overwhelm among the team's members.  Each leadership team desires their version of the same goal:

"An Agile, High Performance Team flourishing in a low-stress environment where everyone enjoys a fulfilling live adventure of their own design".

Guiding leadership teams in realizing their version of this goal is our life work.  As Coaches, our role is "Seasoned Elders".  Our philosophy and methods run so contrary to Conventional Wisdom that most leaders still see these ideas as being somewhere between "experimental" and "unrealistic".  We consider this response a "high praise" because our clients keep us around for years!
