When it comes to executive coaching, I don’t know anyone more effective than Bill Anderson.
Bill has an amazing ability, growing out of his years of leadership experience with the Christian Booksellers Association and other ministries, to size up a leader’s situation and point the way into a new chapter of fruitfulness – all with remarkable tact and efficiency.
In just a few hours together, Bill and I covered an amazing amount of leadership territory, ranging from my long-term dreams and goals to the specific, daily challenges that I am facing in my organization today. I wasted no time putting these ideas and insights to work in my personal life, my board meetings and with our Senior Leadership Team at Pioneers. The changes I am implementing will bear fruit for years to come.
If you are a bit cautious about inviting a coach or mentor into your life, I understand. We are busy people with heavy demands on our time. My own time with Bill was well worth every minute.
How important is it to have a clear sense of where you are going as a leader? Does it matter if our compass is a few degrees off? What’s it worth to have access to wise counsel from someone who knows organizations from the inside out and also cares for you personally?
I sat under Bill’s coaching for years with a group of non-profit CEOs. All of us benefitted tremendously. Now I am grateful to have his undivided attention from time to time, and the opportunity to focus his considerable gifts like a laser on my leadership questions and on the health of our growing multinational organization.
