About Brad J. Henderson: Leadership Coach and Mentor

Brad Henderson

The term "executive coach" often falls short in capturing the essence of the support senior executives are seeking these days. Senior executives are in search of a silent executive partner—someone who transcends the traditional coaching role to become an extension of their leadership thought process.

I possess a profound understanding of the multifaceted nature of leadership and tailor my approach to align with the unique circumstances of the company and the diverse skills of its leader. With a strong understanding of the complex challenges executives face daily, I offer a safe and trusted sounding board, creating an environment where executives can freely discuss their concerns, ideas, and strategies without fear of judgment or any bias that may exist with employees or stakeholders. And while I bring innovative ideas to the relationship I also act as a collaboration partner to help refine and iterate on your ideas and plans.

Beyond strategic and creative support, I also serve as a pillar of moral support. I understand the emotional and psychological demands of leadership and offer empathetic encouragement to help executives navigate these pressures. This includes holding everyone accountable to the plans that have been agreed upon.

This multifaceted approach ensures that you are not only equipped with the clearly defined strategies and plans but also have the resilience and confidence to lead effectively through any challenge.

My approach uses a combination of active listening and thoughtful questioning to fosters an environment where executives unlock and organize their own wisdom and insights and fortify their confidence to take decisive action and follow through. All this is supplemented by someone who has your well-being in mind and your success as a goal.
