John Brady & Associates provides proven, practical, and sustainable coaching programs that improve individual leadership and team performance. Our coaching enables organizations to achieve optimal effectiveness, and maximize business objectives.
What is Executive Coaching?
Executive coaching evolved from the world of athletics, where virtually all the best athletes have coaches year round. Two iconic examples are Romanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci, and American swimmer Michael Phelps.
Nadia, became a legend in the 1976 Olympics when she was the first gymnast to score a perfect 10. Her unprecedented performance continued to earn her seven perfect 10s, three gold medals, one silver and one bronze.
The same could be said for swimming sensation Michael Phelps. Phelps' record of eight gold medals won in a single Olympics surpasses any Olympic athlete.
Both athletes, and virtually all world-class competitors, use coaches to continually improve their performance. They know that past performance does not predict future success.

How Does Executive Coaching Work?
Successful coaching depends on two critical factors:
- You recognize coaching as a strength, and
- You are willing to learn new approaches to leadership.
The Brady coaching approach is based on the unique needs of each leader. We use a "challenge by choice" method that allows the individual to select the areas they feel they want to strengthen. Each coaching relationship is personalized and tailored to the schedule and needs of the client.
