How Do I Work?
You and I will agree on a short list of issues (3 – 5) that are significant and critical to keeping your promises and meeting your goals. These issues are typically high-level and strategic in nature. We will spend time creating the commitment and action steps needed to attain the results to get your desired outcomes.
How I Work
- Conduct complimentary first meeting
- Determine chemistry between us
- Our first formal session focuses on your needs, but typically involves a review of skills, experience, knowledge and visions. From this, we co-design a development program
- Meetings will be held as agreed and as required (weekly, 2x weekly, as often as necessary)
What I Don’t Do
- I don’t follow a script or use canned solutions. Everything we do is individualized for you and your situation.
- I don’t sell hardware, software, insurance or any other products. Consequently, I am objective and realistic and find specific solutions that will work for you.
- I don’t follow a set schedule for our meetings and conversations.
- I am available whenever you need me – 24/7/365 days a year and as often as you need to talk.

MID-LEVEL EXECUTIVES
and LINKEDIN ProFinder USERS
Is This What You Want in An Executive Coach?
- I will help you learn to describe yourself using 5 words or less (not a 30-second elevator speech) that will impress a recruiter or even the CEO that you are the candidate that they are looking for.
- What is the ROI for hiring you? Can you express that?
- Do you need help to learn that every thought you express with others must pass the “so what” test to reveal your unique value?
- Do you have a strategy to “sell” the very important top interviewer that (s)he needs to make an investment in you as the next hire or promotion?
What help do you feel that you need to get prepared and get to “yes” quicker and ahead of other candidates?
I will help you get answers to these questions so that:
- You become a “WOW” candidate more than you are currently.
- You will become memorable apart from all other interviewees.
- You will understand and be able to articulate your competitive advantage.
Time for action:
Call or email me and let’s get acquainted. I can work face-to-face (preferred) or virtually.
What Our Clients Say
“Norris, if it wasn’t for you, I never would have been able to be where I am at today. Sold my company because you helped me transition from a small business entrepreneur to a multi-million-dollar company in five years of working together as my coach. Then I was purchased by a publicly traded company.”
– David W., CEO, Chicago-Based Division 10 Supplier to General Contractors
