Mimi Watson is an executive coach, group facilitator and trainer who has worked with CEOs, senior executives and managers internationally for almost 24 years. Currently, Mimi focuses on coaching. Her methodology is designed to enable executives to take constructive action by increasing awareness of themselves and the impact they have on others. She concentrates on changing behaviors to impact results. Mimi’s intent with each person she coaches is to build a relationship based on honesty. This allows the coachee to be authentic both with her as well as with himself or herself and, therefore, to be more fully available to the coaching process. Together, they strategize, but we also work to find the pivotal areas that, when improved, can be leveraged to create the most profound difference. Coachees return to work with a heightened understanding of what makes them tick and with specific practices designed to help them work more effectively with and through others. Mimi brings several areas of expertise to each coaching relationship:
Mimi has worked with people in a variety of industries and cultures, in companies that include GE Capital, Sun Microsystems, Oracle, Pepsi, Apple Computer, Genentech, MCI, United Airlines, Morgan Guaranty, BHP Biliton and Rio Tinto. For more on Mimi’s background, go to Mimi’s Linkedin Profile. |
