Tantalus is privileged to help titans of industry, CEOs, Directors, and CCOs of some of the world’s most reputable companies be the best that they can be through executive coaching and other management consulting services.

Executive Coaching has been defined as:

A facilitative one-to-one, mutually designed relationship between a professional coach and a key contributor who has a powerful position in the organization… The coaching is contracted for the benefit of a client who is accountable for highly complex decisions with wide scope of impact on the organization and industry as a whole.

The focus of the executive coaching is usually on organizational performance or development, but it may also serve a personal component as well.

Tantalus and Executive Coaching

The world of coaching is expanding and growing, and so is Tantalus’ practice. We coach executives in Japan, Singapore, London, Zurich, New York and Vancouver. These people are the titans of industry, CEOs, Directors, and CCOs of some of the world’s most reputable companies.

Charlotte Stichter leads Tantalus’ executive coaching program. Read her article below on Default Behaviors. After learning about the risks of not understanding your default behaviors, use this executive coaching tool to improve your skills as an executive.

Managing your default behaviors

We all have default behaviors. When we are in the moment and trying our best to perform well how we handle these automatic reflexes can be the difference between success and failure. It’s these moments that add up to the larger tasks and projects that are our work. Moments in which behavior – what we think, feel, say, and do ­­- is the primary driver of performance.

Automatic/default behaviors do have their place – they save time and effort. When you continually face the same type of meeting, with the same people, with the same objective, what has worked for you in the past may work again now. So why not embrace these defaults?

Wouldn’t professional lives be easier if we could allow well-tuned default behaviors to take over at work in the same manner we put our minds on autopilot while we drive there?

The danger of default behaviors

The problem with that approach is that the workplace is too dynamic and situations rarely repeat. Human behavior is diverse, erratic, and often unpredictable.

Too many professionals who are high-performers in their area of work pass through the behavioral situations of their day on autopilot, with defaults running the show. By getting to know your defaults and practicing working around them, you can take greater control over your workday and lead yourself and others more productively, moment to moment.

As a high performing professional, knowing your defaults, anticipating and planning your overrides and designing your day will help you avoid unconscious defaults and provide yourself more behavioral flexibility in the moments of truth that matter most.
