Executive Coaches Offer Politicians New, Authentic Approach to Winning Elections; Hope for Change

'Winning Without Compromising ... Yourself' out to transform the political arena

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- At a time when the public's faith in our elected officials is at a five year low, the leadership experts and authors of "Winning Without Compromising ... Yourself" are changing this trend one politician at a time.

"When a candidate is authentic and charismatic by passionately living their values we get excited about them and engaged in the political process," said Michelle Randall, book editor and executive coach to members of congress. "As coaches, we assist our clients in identifying their boldest vision for public service. This is the place to advocate and strengthen their voice."

The book is written for elected officials interested in tapping into executive coaching to assist them in winning at the game of politics. The book is a collaboration of nine leadership experts in a field fairly new to the political arena, coaching. Executive coaching is a well-established tool in the business world, and is now moving into politics. In a recent study, 71 percent of senior executives and 43 percent of CEO's in North America are working with coaches.

"Truth is, there aren't many fiercely courageous candidates who can fulfill the mandates of their conscience and actually get elected. Perhaps this will change with the publication of 'Winning Without Compromising ... Yourself,'" said Dr. Larry Sabato, director, Center for Politics, University of Virginia.

In the face of the current distaste of the political process and politicians in general, the book's authors are attempting to change this trend by working from the inside out.

"There is an inner and outer game of politics. While there is well established support for the outer game, it often comes off as tactics and spin," said Erika Gabaldon, a co-author and executive coach to members of the House of Representatives. "The inner game is the one within the mind of the player and at the core are personal values, authenticity, integrity and the courage to stand for them."

The authors believe their book will play a pivotal role in changing the performance and perceptions of political leaders while creating increased voter support and a new respect for our leaders. The politician will learn how to balance work and home along with campaigning and serving office with core values, clear vision and integrity.

"If you want to have a hand in changing how politics in this country are done, inscribe a copy of this book to your representatives and send it to them," said Dennis Brogan, co-author and executive coach to city leaders.
