coaching and consulting — Frye coaching

Throughout my career as a VP of Human Resources, I have been responsible for identifying situations where a coaching engagement would be helpful to an employee and then facilitating the matching process. I would strongly support choosing Bill as a coach for your organization as he possesses the broad-based business acumen, communication skills and temperament to be successful. I believe that he has demonstrated the critical assessment skills, distills the outcome down to an actionable plan and then navigate same to a successful outcome.

I am a senior manager and was faced with several changes within my organization that created personal challenges for me. I contracted with Bill Frye for coaching on how to navigate the complex dynamics of this situation. I really appreciated his depth of experience and credibility that this brings to the coaching process. He leveraged his own personal leadership experience to ask questions that really helped me understand my options and define my own personal plan for moving forward. If you want a coach that has real world experience, I would strongly recommend Bill.

Bill worked with me after my recent promotion from Engineering Manager to Director of Operations. Through the coaching process I gained essential insight on the leadership requirements of this new position. I now not only had to direct but sometimes teach, coach and even inspire those that I lead. Our sessions together really helped me transition to this new level of leadership and be able to make an impact on those that I lead.

I came to Bill Frye for coaching as part of my transition to a sales management job with a new company. He was a great listener as I discussed the challenges that I was facing taking on the demands of this new position and still managing my other life priorities. Bill's coaching helped me identify ways that I can set personal boundaries to achieve both my work and personal goals. I would strongly recommend Bill for a leader facing transition challenges.

I worked along side Bill as his HR Business Partner for many years. Bill consistently demonstrated strong leadership, even in difficult times. He consistently moved the organization forward and drove the organization to achieve its vision. As a leader, Bill was able to adapt to various roles and challenges as he advanced in the organization. He is a strong collaborator and consensus builder. Most importantly, Bill took a personal interest in the people that worked for him and help them grow to their full potential. I would strongly recommend Bill as a Coach for your organization.

I began work with Bill a few months after joining a new organization as their Vice President, Operations. Bill is a great listener and he led me through a prior work history review, comparing my background to my new role and helped me to identify important insights and adapt a better method of working through others. He guided me through my development of a step-by-step framework to better manage others with more structured delegation and accountability. I would highly recommend Bill for coaching any manager who is stepping into their first executive level role. He helped me make that transition seamlessly.

Bill served as my coach and mentor over the course of one year. He is insightful, understanding, encouraging, and easy to talk to. Although we come from very different professional backgrounds, Bill was able to quickly understand me and the challenges I faced in my work environment. He really helped me identify specific, tangible tactics and directions to resolve issues at work and help achieve my professional goals.

While working with Bill, I have achieved challenging objectives, enhanced professional relationships, and have found greater peace at work. My communication skills have improved immensely as well as my ability to self-reflect. I appreciate his guidance and support.

Through working with Bill, I was able to better crystalize the values that were truly meaningful to me and this has helped me succeed both professionally and personally as a husband and a father. Through thoughtful questions and exercises, I discovered some motivators that were not immediately top of mind for me and this is changed my perspective on how I approach growth. Bill's impact on me has helped me navigate tough career and personal decisions and given me a true north to aim for that I didn't have in the first 15 years of my career.

I worked with Bill for about a year, which was my first time working with a coach. Bill definitely exceeded my expectations, and I would absolutely work with him again. He listened to what I needed but also provided me with direction and gave me tools to work with.

Coaching has helped me work through some difficult and stressful situations. I was able to role play and think through different scenarios to determine what was the best approach for each event. The guidance and support I received were timely and really helped me grow as a leader. I learned about strengths and possible blind spots in my leadership. He was able to challenge me to go outside my comfort zone and learn what was worth focusing on and what was not worth my energy as a leader. Coaching with Bill was great!

Bill took the time to get to know me and my style of leadership. His pragmatic approach to distilling the feedback from others and including the key portions within my action plan drove a successful outcome with my leadership. I would use Bill and his coaching services again.
