For individuals
- Focuses on the real business issues being faced
- Helps executives to pragmatically respond to revolutionary trends and pressures emerging in their work environment
- Provides a dialogue of reflective development
- Develops new capabilities, inspiring attitude and the ability to try out new behaviours
Who is Executive Coaching designed for?
Organisations and executives turn to coaching when specific needs emerge – to fast-track high performers, manage their own career or improve particular leadership, communications or interpersonal skills.
Typical start points are:
- An executive who moves from a management role to one which requires advanced leadership skills
- To develop and execute for organisational change or restructure requiring new competencies or even a sounding board
- To fast-track the development process for high-potential groups or individuals
- To build personal development on the back of a 360-degree performance review
- To accelerate the effectiveness of a newly appointed executive
- To provide tools and processes for executives with a need to consolidate formal and informal learning
Our methodology and approach
We believe no one coaching solution will suit every individual. We adapt our approach and match the coach with the most appropriate skill set and experience for each situation.
Our methodology involves:
- A strong emphasis on the adaptive work to be done which brings the real problem to the surface
- ‘Self-regulation’ techniques in the learning cycle and a focus on engagement
- Goals and challenges for the executive which will take them outside their comfort zone
- Reflection, feedback and the challenging and constructive resolution of roadblocks and avoidance behaviour
- Clear goal setting at the start. We then measure and report on the coaching effectiveness, as aligned to the agreed objectives for both the executive and the organisation
