Executive Coaching
How can I create and ensure my success?" This is the question that business leaders and managers continually ask. "How can I become better in dealing with clients, my people, organizational stakeholders and, especially, dealing with the future?" "How am I doing and how can I get to the next level of excellence?" These questions are frequently asked, yet executives are often at a loss as to what the answer is.
We offer Executive Coaching programs that will assist executives specifically with these issues.
Executive Coaching focuses directly on the executive's unique situation, concentrating on goals, assessing results, exploring options, and facilitating progress to that next level of excellence for both the executive and his company.
Executive Coaching typically begins with a preliminary getting-to-know-each-other session. In this session, the coach explains the coaching process and the kind of commitment required of both parties for a successful outcome. The client's needs and expectations are then discussed and both agree on the frequency of the coaching session and the duration. Confidentiality of the process is also discussed and affirmed.
How structured each session is depends on the types of coaching required, i.e. skills, performance or developmental. Every session will be focused on helping clients to reach the agreed goals. The session ends with an action plan that the client will propose for himself. In the following session, the client will report on his progress made since the last session. Through this interactive process, the coach creates a supportive environment that enables his clients to achieve his desired objectives.
Applications of Executive Coaching
Executive Coaching is appropriate for a broad range of individual self-development objectives and leadership challenges. Clients may choose to work with their coach on such issues as:
-
Setting and achieving stretch goals in a dynamic environment of change
-
Improving communication with all levels of colleagues
-
Aligning Corporate values with Corporate earnings
-
Getting things done using effective team management skills
-
Orientation and support for a smooth transition into a new position
-
Raising overall management and skill levels to obtain a desired promotion
-
In preparation for or implementation of major re-engineering or restructuring projects
-
In combination with assessment tools
-
Alleviating performance problems or dealing with blind spots that detract from otherwise high potential performance
We believe that our Executive Coaching necessarily requires a custom-designed one-on-one approach. Typically these would involve regular confidential sessions on a regular basis over a period of at least three to 6 months. As appropriate, such programs could include specific assessments, development of individual performance goals & objectives, and follow-up evaluation. We are available to meet with businesses and executives to discuss and develop specific agendas for their Performance Coaching objectives and contractual details.
