Executive Coaching.

As the saying goes, it really is lonely at the top.There is more pressure on executives today, and greater accountability. With a coach, you have someone you can confide in, someone who understands the challenges you’re facing. It is our goal to act as a sounding board to work through key issues and help develop solutions to the challenges you face.

TMC has helped managers and executives from world-class organizations with their performance issues and personal development. So whether you are looking to improve your interpersonal, leadership, strategic thinking or motivational skills we can help you.

We help you solve the problems keeping you up at night.

It is often the interpersonal issues that interfere with a leader's effectiveness. We help you tackle your most challenging people issues. Whether you have a gifted SVP who is thrilling your clients and fracturing your leadership team, or you have an otherwise indispensable senior leader who is undermining your leadership within his team, and sometimes even to your face - we can help you handle the situation.  

Executive coaching with TMC focuses on improving the key leadership skills that help top performers excel. Our approach is individualized and results-focused. Let us help you be more successful in everything you do!

FOR ORGANIZATIONS

Building incredible teams.

More and more, companies are seeking to gain a competitive advantage through high performing teams.  A team is not just a group of people who work together. A high performing team is a group of people who share a common vision and goals,  and who collaborate, challenge and hold each other accountable to achieve outstanding results.

Today, rapid organizational change, geographically dispersed teams, matrixed organizational structures, and virtual modes of working present fresh challenges to effective teamwork.

At TMC, we work with teams both in person or virtually.  We will work with you to design an offering to meet the unique needs of your organization. Team programs can include team coaching, 360 review programs, strategic planning, team alignment, conflict resolution and customized facilitation.

When to consider bringing in TMC for your team:

  • To help a team find new ways to improve performance, or to turn around a low performing team

  • When team dynamics are constraining efficiency and innovation

  • When team culture is not clearly defined

  • During times of change, when the team needs to shift working styles and vision

  • When conflict among team members is undermining performance

  • If engagement among team members is low, impacting team effectiveness

  • When a productive team wants to push themselves to reach peak team performance by improving group dynamics

Private Executive Coaching.

TMC offers bespoke executive coaching to individuals, so they can work on their career and life goals as they see fit. This may be a good option for you if

  • Your firm won’t get you an executive coach

  • You would rather keep your coaching private, not subject to interference by management or HR

  • You keep not being promoted, and can’t get answers why

  • You’re new in a leadership role, and could use some support navigating the politics at this level

  • You are dealing with a difficult manager and need help

  • You are interested in working on broader career goals, some of which may not include your current employer.

  • Your life isn’t working for you, and you want to look at all the pieces of it, not just focus on work.

    To reach your goals, we work in focused bi-weekly coaching sessions. In our work together, you can count on me to help you get the clarity and skills you need to navigate your world with ease and success. Our work together is 100% confidential, so you can tell me anything. Packages available in 3-month, 6-month and 12-month programs, or we will customize a program together.

FOR INDIVIDUALS

Breakaway Career Coaching

Today's workplace makes strong career management essential.  There is no guarantee that your boss or your company is looking out for you and your career. Instead, you need to actively manage your career to protect yourself and ensure that you reach your personal and financial goals.

At TMC, we start with the philosophy that the way for an individual to be most successful is to do work that they can become fully engaged in, work that they have passion for, and that is aligned with their deeply held values. This work has to fit within the larger picture of one’s life, including family, friends and other interests. Using this philosophy, TMC helps others design a career path that enables them to live authentically, doing work that they enjoy and that holds meaning for them, and finding a work-life balance that works.

At the same time, we keep people focused on the nuts and bolts of how to manage a career effectively, especially when making a career shift. Years of assessing and coaching executives have given us insight into what organizations are looking for in leaders. Let TMC help you ace the interview and assessment process used by top organizations today!

We have helped people find a career path that offers them more of what they want – more interesting work, more flexibility, more money, more prestige, or all of the above!

We will help you to

   •   Create a compelling vision for your life and career

   •   Become a master networker, a skill which opens many doors for you

   •   Evaluate your interview style. We'll tell you what's working for you and what's not.  Learn the interview tips and secrets for maximum impact            

   •   Manage your career through major life transitions, such as starting a family, retirement

   •    Explore alternate paths, such as freelancing or starting your own business

   •    Brand yourself within an organization and establish an executive presence

   •    Not just survive, but beat the assessment process organizations use today 

Let us partner with you on improving your career.  We'll be with you every step of the way!  

Our clients

“When we began [coaching] I was finding my way as a high performing VP on a new team with a lot of learning and reconstruction ahead of me.  In that period, I have transitioned to a more self assured executive with a clearer brand and positioning in the company.  Also, I had the best year of my professional career. Thanks for the role you played in making this happen.

— C.L., Senior Vice President, Capital One

“Our company had grown a lot and we were facing many HR related challenges such as, a poor new employee selection process, staff turnover & inconsistent management practices representing a threat to our continued business development. Kiban Turner helped us identify the root causes of those challenges and develop a talent management strategy aligned with our corporate goals. Also, she actively helped us recruit an HR head to execute that strategy.  The entire executive team and I particularly appreciated  working with Kiban.  She is smart, easy to work with and effective.”

— Guillaume Deybach, CEO, Europ Assistance USA (now Generali Global Assistance)

“Kiban was adept at quickly getting to the heart of challenges and issues I brought to her. She helped me break through things that were holding me back and gave me a variety of tools to use on a daily basis. (I have a notebook full of “Kiban-isms” that I revisit regularly.)

Kiban is incredibly insightful, developed through years of experience in diverse settings. She was often able to pinpoint things that I didn’t realize were underlying causes for the challenges I was facing. She has a tremendous gift with this.

Kiban is equal parts deeply compassionate and rigorous. She helped me demand more from myself, and it felt incredible to have her in my corner. From working with Kiban, I’ve learned a lot about myself, how to leverage my strengths, and how to turn my perceived “weaknesses” into strengths.

Equal parts serious and fun, Kiban made every session both productive and enjoyable… even when working through something upsetting. I always felt comfortable bringing both professional and personal issues to my time with Kiban.”

— Kim Rees, Executive Director, J.P. Morgan

“Kiban is the perfect combination of coach, psychologist, and advocate.  She listens first and then offers ideas for how to internalize feedback, overcome challenges, or raise your leadership to the next level.  Her deep understanding of how the corporate world works makes her advice practical and actionable.”

— K.T., Managing Vice President, Capital One

I found out last night that I have been promoted to VP. I made some bold moves over the past few months, I have started to change how I approach certain situations and how I carry myself, I asked for a significant raise.  I could not have done this without you, you’ve helped me with my confidence and how to better navigate the corporate space. I feel like to date, this has been one of the most transformational opportunities that I have had. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your help on this journey.
