Executive Rescue - specialist crisis coaching for business leaders
Senior Directors are also real people; even with all the recognition, power and corporate gravitas, it is indeed 'lonely at the top'. And never more so than when the pressures develop into a period of crisis.
Executive Rescue is a specialist service that helps senior executives who are experiencing a time of particular crisis, stress or challenge. Within organisations there are always a few individuals who are crucial not only to the performance of the business but also to the continuing perception of success. When they are under personal pressure, then Executive Rescue coaching provides powerful effective support for the individual and a practical business solution for the organisation.
Successful people are used to stress
To achieve significant corporate presence, high performers must already have good strategies for dealing with stress; it comes with the territory. Precisely because they are robust, determined and conscientious, they will typically respond to crisis by redoubling their efforts and working even harder, coping while pushing themselves to the limit. As a strategy, this may work at a surface level, but even the strongest character has a breaking point. And deep down they know that their resourcefulness suffers long before that crack is apparent.
Executive Rescue provides safe and professional coaching support that discreetly facilitates troubled executives to face, address and deal with the immediate pressures; then personally design and implement a way of thinking and working that is effective in enabling them to move forward with confidence.
Visible and accountable
Everybody goes through difficult times on occasion. The difference if you're a senior executive is that your position entails a high degree of accountability and visibility. This makes it particularly hard when you run into a tough time, whether caused by pressures in your work or private life; just as you take the projections of success when all is going well, so you are vulnerable when the going gets rough.
Executive Rescue coaching with Ruth Paris gives you practical, caring and trustworthy support to help you to navigate the transition back into a position of choice and self-assurance as well as personal and professional well-being.

What Executive Rescue is not

-
it is not institutionalised
-
it does not make a drama of a difficult yet perfectly understandable time in an individual's career
-
it is not in the public domain - discretion is at the heart of this service
-
the solutions are not directive or predetermined
-
it does not create a long-term dependency
-
it is not a medical solution and is not suitable in cases of mental illness or substance abuse (in which case, a specialist treatment centre such as The Priory is recommended)
