Typically Brimstone consultants work with high-level executives who seek some outside perspective on their effectiveness or high-potential individuals who have taken, or are preparing to take, a new role. Above all, we work with leaders who are eager to improve their performance – and willing to look in the mirror. For executive coaching engagements to be successful, the clients must want the help – they must understand and agree with the rationale for the coaching recommendation; they must work collaboratively to define success; and they must commit to a consistent series of interactions.
Brimstone's approach to executive coaching is structured and disciplined; we rely on a core methodology and proven toolkit to guide all our engagements. That said, we also recognize that each coaching engagement is unique and each client has a distinct set of strengths and gaps, so our approach is versatile and flexible. Our coaches take a holistic view of each client's situation, and recognize that the root of an issue is usually more complex than simply changing a behavior. We observe clients, seek data from stakeholders, and draw on personal experiences to drive to a desired outcome.
Ultimately what differentiates Brimstone is the maturity, executive experience and skill of our coaches – and the personal relationships they form with clients to help them achieve the desired results. We take a hands-on approach to executive coaching – we work side by side with clients on their critical issues and opportunities; we engage at a personal level and genuinely care about our clients' success; and we recognize that "fit" is essential.
