Executive Coaching while Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP)

Leadersurf Executive Coaching

LeaderSurf’s founder and President, Brian Formato is offering executive coaching sessions on stand up paddle boards (SUP) as an alternative approach to video call coaching during the pandemic. Executive coaching sessions on the water offer an escape from the endless video calls and virtual meetings that are sucking all of our energy. Paddle boarding offers a safe, socially distanced opportunity to be at one with nature and to engage in open dialogue with a certified executive coach. Each session is 90-minutes in length. We will create a coaching plan following Brian’s proven coaching model that he uses with CEOs and business leaders globally. What’s included:

• Use of high quality epoxy paddleboard

• Carbon fiber paddle

• Life vest

• Cold beverage

• 90 minute-executive coaching session

• Dock launch with no need to carry the board

We will paddle along the shores of Mountain Island Lake and into historical Latta Plantation. The 90-minute coaching and paddle session will cover about 2.5 miles. This is not strenuous work, but offers good exercise. While paddling we will discuss executive coaching topics. Most coaching engagements are company sponsored and paid for by the employer. Coaching topics include:

• Leadership and team effectiveness

• Executive presence

• Strategic planning and execution

• Conflict management

• Career management and progression

• Succession planning

• Organizational design and structure

• Communications skills and performance management
