#20) Finding the Right CFO Coach | Executive Coaching

Описание: "The search to find a good coach actually took me a long time. What I first thought I needed was someone to help me communicate, or be a better leader. The big difference for me was when I realized I wanted somebody that was a CFO. You know the general direction to improve, but you really need someone to help you discover [specifically what to do or change]. And for me finding someone that had sat in the seat and had been successful was really important. To get advice and feel confident on how we move forward together. " (Mike Truex, CFO of private equity-backed firm ChyronHego)

"In my instance, I found 3 key areas a coach helps. The first is that a coach can be a thought partner when it comes to approaching the running of an organization today. The second way a CFO coach can help is that becoming an executive [requires] having someone to help think through the leadership elements of what it takes to be successful. Finally, a CFO coach is someone that can help you as a CFO yourself chart your future -- beyond just what you’re doing for your organization, and where you are going ... to where your career as a CFO is going."
