“Every CEO I meet is asking the same question: ‘How do I get my leaders to execute faster and lead better?’ The answer is coaching,” said Rick Gallegos, President & CEO of Dale Carnegie Tampa Bay & SWFL. “We know from research and experience that training sparks growth, but coaching sustains it. These new offerings make sure leadership development drives measurable business results—not just good intentions.”
Executive Coaching: Elevating Leadership Performance
Executive Coaching provides senior leaders and high-potential talent with one-on-one support tailored to business-critical goals. Leaders gain:
Clarity & Confidence – Defining measurable objectives tied to strategy.
Stronger Presence – Developing trust, communication impact, and influence.
Faster Execution – Building habits that turn plans into results.
Organizations investing in executive coaching see stronger leadership pipelines, faster transitions, and higher engagement across teams.
Performance Coaching: Turning Training Into Results
Performance Coaching bridges the gap between classroom learning and workplace impact. Participants who complete a Dale Carnegie three-day program are paired with three targeted coaching sessions to:
Apply New Skills Immediately – Turn leadership and sales tools into on-the-job behaviors.
Stay Accountable – Reinforce learning through guided follow-up.
Deliver ROI – Ensure training investments pay off with visible performance improvements.
Why It Matters Now
Leaders today face relentless change—new technologies, shifting workforce expectations, and increasing competition. Without reinforcement, even the best training fades. Coaching ensures behavior change sticks, giving companies the confidence that their people can handle what’s next.
“Too often, leadership development stops at the seminar door,” said Jeff Shimer, Vice President of Training for Dale Carnegie of Tampa Bay & Southwest Florida. “These coaching programs extend the learning curve, creating leaders who not only understand the tools but live them every day.”
