Listen Actively: Instead of pushing your perspective, take a step back and actively listen to their concerns. This shows respect and opens the door for constructive dialogue. Seek Common Ground: Identify shared goals or values. Emphasizing mutual objectives can bridge the gap between your ideas and theirs, making your suggestions more palatable. Demonstrate Value with Data: Use concrete examples and data to back up your recommendations. When decision-makers see evidence of potential benefits, they’re more likely to reconsider. Cultivate Relationships: Build rapport over time. Strengthening your relationship with the executive can lead to more open communication and receptiveness to your ideas in the future.

COACHES DON'T GIVE ADVICE. If you are giving unsolicited advice (from YOUR worldview), then you are not coaching. You are advising or mentoring maybe. If they are dismissing it, then it's because they don't want an advisor, they want a coach. I recommend going to coaching school so you can learn how to allow the client to discover their own path via THEIR worldview -- without your advice. I may give advice, but only when a client specifically asks for it, and even then I am very careful about what I say and how I say it (or I may decline altogether). My opinion generally is irrelevant for their life. Instead I may share relevant concepts or personal experiences (with their permission) and let them gain possible value that way.

Once again I am wondering that most people understand that coaches have to give advice. Let the executive decide what to do based on your very well chosen coaching questioning techniques. If you go that way there will be less resistance and more intrinsic motivation to change!
