A vice-president of sales was at an impasse in accomplishing his performance goals at a company he had been at for years. His tunnel vision put him at odds with the owner of the company and he began questioning whether he could remain at this company. Re-evaluation of his role within the organization and larger goals helped him rediscover the synergy between company and personal goals. With renewed vigor he was able to redefine his goals with excitement and enthusiasm that had been lost for a long time. Further work helped him develop better skills at evaluating his direct reports and identifying development goals for them. This was particularly helpful in identifying development goals for a "high potential" individual who was a great candidate for advancement within the company.

A Chief Financial Officer (CFO) who was hired by a failing company was able to help this company continue to survive for several years and weather major labor problems and external competitive threats. When devestating circumstance beyond his control threatened the company, coaching assisted him in dealing with the intense emotional, stress reaction he was having. Perspective was gained on the accomplishments that he had been able to achieve, strengths were identified in the dedication and loyalty that he offered companies, and appropriate actions were planned for helping this company weather the current storm while making contingency plans for the continuation of his career if the company moved toward possible bankruptcy.

A lower level manager who was functioning as a project leader was stifled by a lack of support from his direct superior. He also had difficulty in the area of leadership when it came to gathering peer support for his project and knowing how to answer questions related to details of the project. His strength as a visionary and global thinker needed to be put into perspective in relation to team functioning. His weakness of not being detail oriented was tied to team functioning where he identified development goals related to utilizing team strengths to overcome this weakness while also developing team cohesion. Appropriate utilization of resources within the company helped him gain needed support from above him in the company while being sensitive to the political issues within his organization.
