      Executive & Leadership Coach

      Many leadership coaches are paid for the wrong reasons. Their income is mostly related to how much their clients like them and how much time they spend on their coachees. However, this is not a good metric when it comes to achieving positive, long-term changes in leadership behavior.There are no previous studies that prove the correlation between a client’s likability and leadership change. In fact, most of the time, coaches who are too focused on getting the client to like them may not provide honest feedback when it is needed — which means, they are not helping their client as effectively as they should be.My approach to coaching is different — "I don't get paid if you don't get better". "Better" is not judged by me, nor the leader being coached. Better is judged by those who interact on a regular basis with the leader: manager, peers and subordinates.I am all about results. I work exclusively on a pay-for-results basis. Happy to tell you more over a phone call.More at www.carlosdasilva.com Show less
