Plans and programs don’t develop people,
only experiences develop people.
Are you growing or just sitting through sessions and enduring more meetings?
Ready not Rhetoric. Coaching should get you ready to face challenges, not give you rhetoric as is often the case with traditional executive coaching and leadership programs.
The difference between coaching with me, Dana Mayer, and coaching elsewhere is that you get hands-on leadership developmental experiences, connections to sponsors and prospects, as well as a confidential venue to explore scenarios and to test potential solutions to problems.
Programs and cheerleaders are good and often necessary. But real success takes more, especially given the challenges you’re up against.
My team and I have used our methodologies and tools with businesses, court systems, and nonprofits in the U.S., EU, Brazil, Japan, China, and Australia at AT&T, Deloitte & Touche, DuPont, Citi Bank, JP Morgan, Toyota, and Sony, among others.
Can you benefit from executive coaching? We can help you if you are an innovator migrating across domains (such as a NASA scientist changing careers) or if you’re a leader faced with difficult personalities (such as a tough boss or under-performing staff) or if you’re dealing with increased responsibilities. We also advance attorneys and entrepreneurs who want to develop business.

Fast track development of high performing executive teams–often during transitions such as job changes–takes objective coaching talent with relevant, post-modern tools. We don’t use rhetoric and programs to develop leaders. We create private, confidential opportunities for you to experience what it is like to successfully deal with a difficult person at work, to ace an intense interview, and to make quality decisions under fire. We have the talent and tools to accelerate your progress and make you more powerful.

Individual Executive Coaching. The result of most coaching is an action focus that drives business performance–most often leadership transition, business development, and optimized C-suite teams. Sessions are private and confidential, generally conducted by TelePresence, Skype, or teleconference. Pricing is based on monthly or annual flat fees, not hourly charges.
PolyDimensional Executive Coaching has four phases:
1. The PolyD coaching process begins with defining the Scope of Work: defining roles, goals, expectations, and issues with all participants. This may include the client, the client’s supervisor, key senior leadership or staff, and if required, HR. Outcomes are documented and provided to the client by the consulting team.
2. The second phase is Assessment: to gather data on client behaviors and assess its impact on variables such as business, leadership styles, and communication. Self-assessment is most effective in allowing individuals to see themselves as others see them enabling the individual to manage business relationships more successfully. The executive coach’s skill and sensitivity in delivering feedback to the client is a critical component at this point. A variety of instruments may be used, either based on client preference or our suggestions, including personality typing tools such as MBTI, DiSC, Lominger, or Kolbe, and a variety of stress indicator instruments.
3. The third phase is to design an Action Plan with the client. This plan will be implemented during the course of private and group sessions to fine-tune skills and enhance powerful leadership behavior. The latest neuroscience and business simulations are applied throughout this process to maximize the individual’s performance and minimize personal reactivity and stress.
4. The fourth phase is Evaluation of the contribution the coaching assignment has made in the client in achieving Phase One objectives. This becomes the blueprint for further development of the individual
