Executive Coaching
If you operate at a senior level, Executive Coaching can provide you with a priceless opportunity to:
- Think – space and time out to reflect, reconsider, gain clarity
- Access a non-judgemental ‘sounding board’
- Be challenged – status can be a barrier to your team and colleagues challenging you about your strategy, approach or behaviour
- Gain support around managing performance in your team and wider organisation
- Plan how to engage key stakeholders in your strategic vision
- Work out how to effectively lead change
- Explore potential career progression
‘Coaching’ essentially consists of a series of really useful conversations. Typically 3-6 coaching sessions of 1.5 – 2 hours are required. Sessions can be face to face, at a mutually agreed location, or via ‘phone or video call.
Various tools can be used to help you develop at a senior level. For example: MBTI; SDI; Clarity 4D; Emotional Capital Report; PROPHET or a leadership 360 feedback report.
