AESC and Leadership Development Firm Robert Gregory Partners Announce Relationship to Help AESC Members Expand Client Services to Include Executive Transition Coaching
Dublin, Ohio (PRWEB) September 18, 2013 -- The Association of Executive Search Consultants (AESC), a global professional association for the retained executive search and leadership consulting industry, has partnered with leadership development firm Robert Gregory Partners to provide AESC members access to outsourced, comprehensive new-executive transition coaching services for their client companies.
The two organizations formed the relationship as a means to help executive search firms that do not have in-house coaching practices access these services to meet a broader scope of client needs. Transition executive coaching services are a logical addition to the firms’ capabilities; these services can significantly increase the likelihood that a sourced candidate will successfully assimilate into a new position and company and, ultimately, fully meet employer expectations – in the process, also increasing client satisfaction with the search firm.
Further, subcontracting coaching services is often the most cost-effective solution for boutique AESC members. Small- and medium-sized firms can easily add these services without the resource investment and diversification needed to build in-house capabilities.
Peter Felix, AESC president, said: “We are very pleased to welcome Robert Gregory into partnership with the AESC, thereby making available to our member firms services that they may not otherwise be able to provide to clients. Coaching services, especially in the context of on-boarding new executives appointed via executive search, can have a very beneficial impact on performance success for new hires.”
“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with AESC members and help them provide this critical service to their clients as needed,” said Greg Ruf, founding partner at Robert Gregory Partners. “We offer a leading and comprehensive selection of executive transition coaching services in the leadership development industry and understand the needs of executive search firms, their clients and the executive leadership teams themselves.”
Robert Gregory Partners, based in Dublin, Ohio, offers a set of three transition-coaching packages, designed to meet different budgets and needs. These range from a 90-day foundational executive coaching program to a 360° survey and debrief program to the full-scale Transition Success Accelerator (TSA). Robert Gregory Partners counts its executive transition coaching services among a complete offering of executive coaching services and leadership development consulting services.
Established in 1959, the AESC is the global association for retained executive search and leadership consulting firms. The association’s stated mission is “to promote the highest professional standards in retained executive search consulting, broaden public understanding of the executive search process, and serve as an advocate for the interests of its member firms.” Together, AESC members employ approximately 8,000 search professionals in 1,000 offices and 74 countries worldwide.
