"Executive consulting toward individual and collective excellence."

    The apex is the peak or summit of a mountain.  Apex Performance Coaching (APC) is  both personal and corporate coaching to empower  the individual and the organization to reach a peak, summit or apex of amazing possibilities.  Similar to climbing a mountain for the personal reward of fresh air, invigorating exercise and an incredible view; Apex Performance Coaching offers a rich renewing experience for the participant and a shared, revitalized commitment to a more focused collective vision for the corporate team.  In short, Apex Performance Coaching produces results.

The intersection of Steven D. Brand’s twenty-five years of coaching expertise with the illuminating results of a scientific, yet personal, online leadership assessment, PRO-Development, create a unique opportunity for personal and professional insight.  First, each participant goes online to answer six hundred quick and easy questions in about ninety minutes.  Next, Steve, as Executive Success Coach, interprets each executive’s results in a sensitive, personal and confidential setting.  Finally, the leadership team is brought together for a collaborative workshop to share insights, communicate desires and crystallize the corporate vision.   

Coaching clients frequently receive new clarity on their personal motivators, competencies and personality strengths.  The goal is to leverage these strengths to reach an apex of performance by matching executives with their strongest competencies.  Often executive participants have taken multiple instruments before, yet experience an, “Aha” moment as they more closely come to know themselves.   Socrates and Plato said, “Know yourself.”  Self knowledge is the power to grow.

Corporate teams come to a new appreciation of the buried treasure of hidden assets on their team.  They come to understand and advocate for themselves with a deeper passion.  They also accept and understand one another with a greater depth of insight.  This causes an embracing of their corporate collective potential as they become more unified into a cohesive unit capable of reaching a new apex of achievement.   This unified vision is actualized by taking immediate action on steps identified in the collaborative sessions.  Again, Apex Performance Coaching gets results.

Recently, a team of four corporate executives participated in a team alignment session.    The following testimonials indicate the positive impact of Apex Performance Coaching on this corporation:

“Steve has given me, as an owner, a far deeper understanding of the group dynamics within my company and how I can harness them for us to be more cohesive and productive.”

“Steve was a great facilitator who was able to help us understand and address our weaknesses as a team.  He did a great job creating an environment where we all felt comfortable discussing our most pressing issues.”
