Often organizational leaders feel isolated and are reluctant to share their inner-most concerns for fear of being viewed as weak, unprepared or unskilled. Whereas coaching was once viewed by many as a tool to help correct underperformance, today it is becoming much more widely used in supporting top producers. According to recent research, a significant number of organizations use coaching to sharpen the skills of those who have been identified as future leaders. Executive coaching supports the individual in making lasting changes.

Dr. Brennan’s many years of experience in leadership and management roles and in organizational training allow him to help clients recognize and utilize their strengths and also to understand how their own preconditioning, perceptions, beliefs and assumptions can get in the way of working effectively with others. To facilitate this understanding, he utilizes methods such as feedback, action planning, active learning and follow-up into the day-to-day activities of the client’s work life. His approaches are outcome focused and deliver short-term improvements as well as sustained long-term benefits to individuals and the business.

Dr. Brennan tailors his coaching methodology to meet the needs of each individual client. This includes one-on-one, in person, over the telephone or e-mail, or a combination thereof. Communications are completely confidential giving the client an opportunity to share personal concerns while gaining an outside perspective. For best results, the typical meeting schedule includes three or more client meetings per month for a minimum period of six months.
