Annette is an active member of the International Coach Federation (ICF). Through her accreditation as Professional Certified Coach (ICF), Annette adheres to the highest ethical standards in the coaching industry. ICF defines coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential, which is particularly important in today’s uncertain and complex environment. Coaches honor the client as the expert in his or her life and work and believe every client is creative, resourceful and whole. Standing on this foundation, the coach’s responsibility is to:

  • Discover, clarify, and align with what the client wants to achieve
  • Encourage client self-discovery
  • Elicit client-generated solutions and strategies
  • Hold the client responsible and accountable

This process helps clients dramatically improve their outlook on work and life, while improving their leadership skills and unlocking their potential.

Team Coaching

Team coaching enables teams to function as more than a sum of its parts by clarifying what the team is there to do and by improving the relationships both within the team, and between the team and its external environment. Team coaching with Inspired Executives is a well-blended synthesis of team facilitation, organizational consulting, organizational development, individual work, and team development work. The specific combination and approach used depends on the formation of the team, what stage the team is at in its lifecycle, the organizational context, and the issues and challenges the team faces.

Team coaching sessions can include

  • Design thinking or lateral thinking
  • Creativity and problem solving techniques
  • Lean start-up and innovation mindset
  • Vision and mission statements or team development activities
  • Change impact analyses or stakeholder maps
  • Communication strategies or conflict resolution.

Inspired Executives’ Leadership Philosophy

The Inspired Executives’ approach to developing supportive and transformational leadership in work and life is embodied in this philosophy:

  • Leaders are made, not born. Everyone is a leader in their lives, some of us also hold corporate leadership roles. Leaders emphasize their self-development. They know they can move beyond their fear or whatever might currently block them to become the best versions of themselves.
  • Leading others starts with leading yourself. Leaders who enhance their awareness have the greatest impact as they effectively manage the congruence of intention, action and perception. They are able to transcend their egos. They look inside first.
  • Leaders, who choose to express their most valuable qualities authentically and courageously, enable change and have a bias for action. Their leadership infuses organizations with inspiration and energy that move people forward. They focus on people and gaining clarity to achieve alignment and results.
  • Leaders see their team members as human beings. They are able to acknowledge and look beneath immediate actions or human expression. Leaders are aware of the interlinkage of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual energies. They bring their whole selves to work and life, and they encourage others to do the same. They are very curious, open-minded, and flexible. They listen deeply and ask powerful questions.
  • The world needs leaders who are dedicated to creating a thriving future for global businesses and our collective and sustainable well-being. The future requires leadership with the creative capacity to contribute to the evolution of humanity and transform its way of thinking and being in organizations across the globe.
