    Corporate Team & individual Executive Coaching

     For individuals seeking personal mastery or pragmatic evolution in skill development or improvement through executive coaching, MADZOOK® helps the average become good, and the good become great at what they choose to do. Sticking with the ideology that Best is Temporary; Be Better develops an atmosphere of growth through evolution as apposed to seeking change. Create an omnipresent learning and inspiring environment that does not allow best as a label to create subjective complacency or apathy. Determine that to be better each day is a lifestyle mantra that must become intrinsic if the reality of the practice is to be achieved. Often times powerful achievers merely need a sounding board, and a candid discussion from a person with competence and vision without the need to be a “yes” man/woman to the executive. The power of candid discussion can open eyes wider, and see things from perspectives of extreme potential benefit, personally.

Some realized outcomes from competent executive coaching include:

  • Better self-awareness, increased mindfulness of the corporate environment, expanded investigative discovery and systems analysis.

  • An expanded knowledge of individual behavior influences with specificity for the stakeholders - direct individuals and the affected members, consumers, or practitioners within the whole entity.

  • An expanded and purposed mindset for better communication and productivity.

  • An expanded mindset of leadership types, learning styles, personal responsibility, and motivational realities in the current corporate and entrepreneurial environments.

  • An increased depth of understanding for critical thinking (beyond the platitude), and how to utilize Socratic questioning with all nine of the pertinent interrogatives for increased discovery and solution–based approaches, for any and all opportunity or issue of concern.

     Coaching for effective and efficient increased evolution for the individual is about enhancing strength, identifying actual obstructions, and any perceptions of barriers or weakness potentials. The fix is never found in simply attempting to improve a weakness - the growth, takes place within the strengths built and expanding those capacities. The weakness or potential for a weakness is only identified so as to eliminate it or learn how to minimize it. Coaching programs that attempt to “fix” weakness are simply not going to work in the universal globalized society or with adequate and proficient education as the basis of the program design. A design specifically for each context and situational reality. Solutions always come from enhanced strengths and rarely ever originate through any person’s perceived weakness.

Educational Seminars

Here are some example bullet points from the Leadership Training Seminar available on a class basis. – Seminars are three (3) hours in length. Cost of a single seminar provided at your location is $1,500.00 US dollars with all relative travel and two days of accommodations paid for by you, the host. I am currently located in Phuket, Thailand for any travel-based costs, please originate from there. E-mail for availability and scheduling.

Leadership Seminar Notes:

  • Wear what you should to be respected, not what you are allowed too – casual Friday leads to an inactive mindset masked by fallacy of creativity – environmental cultures sometimes benefit from casual atmosphere but creative, productive atmospheres are not always about how casual the approach – know the difference.

  • Address the specifics of a problem rather than create a general awareness of a problem without any specificity to produce a solution discussion, and most importantly a solution from an action taken, the simplistic knowledge of an issue becomes defaulted to the irrelevant.

  • Do not repeat the mistakes or flaws that you see in others.

  • Stop making excuses – sure sometimes things happen beyond control, rather than make an excuse, use that experience as a lesson and build from there so that the excuses begin to dwindle rather than multiply.

  • Personal development requires more than just attendance it requires participation and inquiry – often that inquiry leads to areas for self-improvement from self-analysis. More times than not a person sees the information as a reason to become defensive and rationalize rather than accept and move forward with potential performance enhancing activities created from the introduced and observed variable(s) or perspective(s) provided by another.

  • Positive environments are only created by positive actions and authentic people – patronizing never creates a positive environment, instead it builds a policy of masking a negative reality, rather than correcting a poor disposition and eventually that negative reality takes the place of any positivity – if positivity is not allowed to be showcased with genuine evidence.

  • Knowledge is a form of spendable currency – build a wealth of knowledge to cash in when necessary, a good leader must have knowledge, a great leader knows when to apply specific knowledge to a specific situation.

  • Environment or company culture will define the company and the workforce. The choices a leader must make is how the environment forms, will the leader help construct it, or will the leader allow the environment to form on its own. If a leader does not get involved in forming and creating the environments then they merely rely on luck, faith, or happenstance to create the environment. One way or another, environments are determined, and productivity, creativity, or disposition are all influenced by that specific environment. The workplace should create a space where people enjoy being, learning, communicating, and producing.

    As a result, the persons in the environment should always and genuinely want to kick so much ass that they exude proficiency and creativity at the highest levels – however, the temperament must be actionable and competent. No environment should become negative, or complacent – a strong company is not a babysitter service, a strong company and a healthy environment are incubators for success and mastery of craft and skill development! False positivity however, is as detrimental as negativity because the reliance becomes that a fallacy creates a reality and this simply means the trust or belief in the reality is too shallow to overcome with facts – false positive environments will always end up with negative sniping, and lack of committed passion required to benefit from a true positive environment. Trying to fool a fool is foolish, trying to fool intelligence is wasting your time, in the end, practicing either will only show you to be the fool.

  • Intelligence, human intelligence must return to prominence – integrating emotions is valuable but the advancements from artificial intelligence technology will operate at such logic capacity and speed that human educators will be 100% reliant on emotional constructs, if they do not increase their own personal knowledge beyond such an emphasis– not a position that a leader will find beneficial. Right now, there are companies entering databases of the World’s greatest thinkers, and history’s greatest choices and options – running them through simulators and encoding them into super machines that will be able to process logic using the minds of Tesla. Einstein, Socrates, Jobs, Freud, Hawkings, Alexander the Great, Michelangelo and all of the others with integrated precision. If a leader is merely capable of emotional analysis the logic requirements will not be understood by a competent human at the rate bestowed through such AI advances.

  • Expanded inquiry into depth of practical leadership by incorporating the different styles of leadership and how those specific styles can provide benefit when used with intention rather than generalization, or a default position that selecting one option is the current best practice. People involved and situational context can be as great or greater of an influence on success as the style of leadership practiced by well-intention mandates. People must play their strengths and use them accordingly for efficacy and efficiency for true mastery to take place.
