Executive Coaching is a confidential, individually tailored, formally defined, 1:1 engagement designed to meet the needs of the executive being coached and of the organization or individual leader or entrepreneur paying for the service. Coaching focuses on the future. The coach uses behavioural techniques to help the coachee achieve a mutually identified set of goals to improve his or her professional performance, personal satisfaction and consequently improve the coachee’s organization.
A prerequisite is that the coachee has a personal desire to improve his or her level of effectiveness and is open to being coached to this end. We begin with a pre-engagement meeting with the sponsor and the potential coachee to share our approach. Based on our understanding of the coachee’s profile and needs, we then recommend a 8 – 10 session engagement, spanning 6 – 8 months.
The coach then conducts an intensive interview-based 360 degree assessment on the coachee’s behalf with a range of 6 – 12 colleagues/known contacts, as deemed most appropriate. The 6 – 8 sessions that follow distil the broad agenda into specific coaching goals.
In addition, we administer further holistic health checks and psychometric assessments, as appropriate and relevant to our coachees and conduct another dipstick 360° before the close of our engagement, to help the coachee get a sense of where they stand at the time.
The sessions will be a mix of face-to-face and Skype sessions, according to a pre-agreed schedule. We may mutually agree to extend this engagement beyond this, if we agree that further support is in order and/or additional goals are to be addressed.
