PHILOSOPHY AND APPROACH TO COACHING

Samuel Ticha, Founder & President of Mindfulead LLC, is passionate about enhancing the wholistic individual, team, board and organizational development towards predetermined performance SMART goals.

 

Wholistic business transformational enhancements are usually focused on the entire organizational value chain with emphasis on the optimal business model that will deliver the most performance outcomes with the least investment.

 

Delivery ranges from executive coaching, turnaround management consulting, facilitation, speaking but also project, product and change management, organizational development to custom adult learning design and delivery solutions

Samuel has a network in 133 countries on all continents. He is an www.AIESEC.org Global Hall of Fame Member for mentoring and coaching. He is a Junior Chamber International Senator since 2003.

 

Samuel’s network continues to grow through being a presence professor of practice and a digital transformation professor of practice in Ivey League universities.

 

Samuel’s approach to learning (including coaching and consulting approach) consists of assessing, designing, implementing, and evaluating each engagement in accordance with the learning style of the client (individual, team, board, or organization). Samuel has over 7000 one-on-one executive coaching hours, over 10,000 hours of speaking, consulting facilitating teams, boards, and groups.

Initial clients were mostly startup entrepreneurs (mostly members of Junior Chamber International), MBA students and recent graduates from 133 countries. Nowadays, clients include mostly conscious entrepreneurs, universities, private and public organizations, and most engagements focus on coaching and facilitation of either the C-suite or board of directors or executive certificate programs for C-suite executives in top universities.
