Welcome to Cornerstone Executive Development Group

Executive Coaching, Leadership Development and Team Building are three specialized programs pioneered by Cornerstone Executive Development Group, Inc.

Our professional development strategies create a powerful and highly effective workplace. The company was founded in 1987 by our President and CEO, Stephen Xavier, America's Top Coach®, to support people in expanding their definition of themselves and their abilities within a diverse range of organizations worldwide.

The primary focus of our practice is on developing organizations, individuals and teams to meet the challenges of a constant and ever-changing business climate. We achieve this by delivering outstanding service in four primary areas of expertise:

• One-on-One Coaching The process begins with the six most important considerations when initiating an executive coaching engagement. They are: identify the candidate, assess the candidate, find a qualified coach, establish expectations and goals, establish the length of the engagement and understand what the process entails.

• Team and Organizational Development: Building a successful and high performance team requires leadership through an understanding of individual team member's work preferences, team and organizational performance, professional development and goals. Based on individual team member's strengths and approaches to work, we can help focus your group of individuals into a fine-tuned, effective and high-performing team.

• Customized Workshops and Seminars: Programs are developed in the context of current business trends and increasing competition. Cornerstone can present topics like Coaching Skills for Managers, Identifying and Developing Your Top Performers, Techniques for Getting your Most Challenging Employees On-board and more.

• Mentoring, Succession Planning and Knowledge Transfer: More and more organizations are facing a crisis in seeing their most seasoned managers heading for retirement. As they depart, so does their knowledge and years of experience in their industries. Creating the next generation of effective executives is a lofty goal. It must be planned for carefully by not allowing our greatest resources to simply fade away, but instead, turning them into a resource for the new executive workforce.

Cornerstone is unique in its approach to this work in several very important ways:

• Our team of highly-seasoned professionals all possess considerable expertise in business and group process. All of our consultants come from the corporate sector. Their skill is based in application, not theory.

• Our ability to customize our work to meet your organization's unique needs
