Free Coaching Introduction

What is Executive Coaching?

An executive coach acts as a sounding board, challenges thinking, stimulates creativity, provides tools and techniques for dealing with challenging situations, gives encouragement and builds confidence. The coach has unconditional positive regard for the coachee, has no agenda other than the coachee’s and is always on the coachee’s side. Together with good rapport, this builds a coaching relationship based on trust.

As a result of the coaching experience, coachees develop their potential and apply it productively in the workplace and their lives. The more they practise their new skills and behaviours, the better they become. Experience shows that coachees tackle bigger challenges with more confidence and skill – a win for both them and their organisations.

Long term results

Longer term executive coaching is focused on dealing with underlying beliefs and assumptions that no longer serve the coachee. These negative beliefs often lead to self defeating behaviours with less than desirable outcomes. The executive coach works with the coachee’s mindsets and behaviours to set them up for ongoing success.

Our Executive Coaching Process

An integrated approach

We apply an integrated approach to coaching, bringing together a range of perspectives to explore specific coaching questions and issues with our clients. We draw on perspectives gained from leadership practices, psychology and coaching approaches and our extensive experience in coaching executives.

No commitment

Clients are not committed to work with us for a certain number of sessions as everyone’s needs are different and we assess that on a session by session basis.

Coaching goals and objectives

We agree coaching goals and objectives early in the process so that the coachee is looking forward to an envisioned future, not back to what they might have done. Coachee’s agendas typically include how to meet short term goals, achieve long term aspirations, conquer today’s challenge, generate tomorrow’s strategic opportunity, manage their time in and out of work, do their current job better and prepare for their next role. Progress and achievement is reviewed periodically throughout the coaching period.

Face to face, phone or virtually

Executive coaching can be conducted face to face, via phone or video link and supported by email to suit the coachee’s agenda. Coaching sessions are of one to one and a half hour’s duration with no limit to the frequency of coaching meetings and calls.

Tailored coaching

Different coachees in different situations have different needs and we tailor our approach accordingly. Sometimes we recommend that a coachee gain additional data to inform the coaching via feedback from colleagues or by using psychometric profiles. Our coachees usually ask us to obtain this on their behalf and we have a number of tools to draw upon.

360 degree feedback

For providing 360-degree feedback to coaching clients we use the Human Synergistics’ Leadership Styles Inventory, and The Leadership Circle Profile.

Confidential

All of our coaching is confidential unless a third party is involved and then sharing of information may be negotiated on a case by case basis. All coachees’ data is totally secure with us.
