According to the website Dictionary.com, the second definition of the word gumption is courage; spunk; guts. It takes gumption to act outside of your comfort zone, and in today's business climate, there will be many times where you will need to operate outside that comfort zone.

For example, you'll need gumption if you:

• Are strategic and a delegator, but need to be more hands-on during critical periods
• Are tactical and hands-on, but need to lead more and manage less, letting your team shine on its own
• Are by nature a private person, but need to open up more and connect with your peers and subordinates
• Are instinctively risk-averse but need to consider greater risk-reward scenarios
• Are too accustomed to one approach to interpersonal relationships, and need to broaden your skill set
• Are overwhelmed by conflicting priorities, and need an objective way to make sense of the jumble

In all of these scenarios, and others, you would benefit from Gumption™ Coaching. Gary Lim would work with you personally and confidentially to help you identify the things you need to accomplish to reach your goals. Through dialogue and discussion, he would help you arrive at realistic solutions. Your coaching sessions would take place via telephone and email.

Executive coaching is a powerful tool to help you achieve even greater results in your daily business life, whether you are an executive or manager at a corporation, or happen to own and lead your own company. Gumption™ Coaching is my own brand of executive coaching, focused on bringing out your gumption in situations where you're not naturally comfortable.

We work together individually and confidentially, allowing you to express yourself fully and discuss any "trial balloons" and "half-baked ideas" in private. Ownership, executive, and managerial positions are often lonely ones. Through Gumption Coaching you can think things through without prematurely influencing your constituents or stakeholders.

I hope you'll give Gumption Coaching a try, so you can take your results to even greater heights!
