Corporate Coaching

(Our unique coaching/communicating processes)

Toni Lynn Chinoy has been coaching senior executives for over twenty years. All of our coaches have been educated with her unique processes for developing leaders.

Our opinion is that coaching is NOT therapy delivered by a psychologist attempting to translate his or her skill set to the business world. We believe that successful coaching requires a combination understandings and procedures that the executive would not otherwise have at his or her command.

The coach must posses a natural understanding of the environment in which the client operates. He or she should also bring new thinking, ideas and methodology to the interaction. Strong perceptive abilities of the nuances of human interaction should be a requirement, along with an intuitive ability to identify the blind spots of the client. The ability to help the client identify those blind spots and to work at the instinctive level to correct them are critical.

The coach must also have the internal strength and fortitude to identify the tough calls leaders must make. He or she must have been tested over time or the coach will lack the credibility needed to help leaders make and execute difficult decisions.

We combine the above understandings and inherent qualities with diagnostic and developmental processes to help the leader move forward in his or her evolution.

Toni has published multiple articles, texts and training programs on Leadership, Style Issues, Power Games and Organizational health which have been adapted into our unique coaching approach.

Some Typical Formats for Our Services

One day session for small groups of executives

When working with small groups of individuals, the facilitator helps them build their ideas and their team simultaneously through a very unique and proven process developed by Toni Lynn Chinoy and Harlan-Evans, Inc. A combination of analytical and intuitive processing, this systematic approach offers participants the opportunity to view their own decision processes objectively with guided feedback. The result is an exciting day of sharing visions, challenging ideas, and critiquing the articulation of ideas

Ongoing one-on-one coaching for leaders' desiring a personal coach

HEI offers a private coaching process, excellent for leaders who seek opportunities to think and sound out their ideas with an objective, well-trained coach. Coaching of these leaders consists of one or more days face to face coaching per month, with frequent e-mail and phone dialogue interspersed between face to face sessions. This type of coaching works particularly well for high level leaders who are constantly faced with making complex and weighty decisions.

Our new process for Handling Critical Moments With Grace:

Based on the model outlined in "Handling Critical Moments with Grace", by Toni Lynn Chinoy, we offer coaching focused specifically on helping leaders react optimally to key moments. Using a simple but sophisticated understanding of how individuals typically react in stressful situations, we help individuals and groups recognize those key moments and short circuit their own knee-jerk reactions to them.

Ask how you can get Toni to talk to your group or individual about how to process critical moments and crises.
