Have You Considered The Benefits?
Coaching is taken for granted in the world of sport where individuals and teams have a coach to provide motivation, enhance skills and refine performance. Ultimately a coach aims to bring out the best in an individual to enable the team to work better as a whole. The same can be said of business and its leaders.
Executive Coaching works best when used to help an individual address specific personal development issues or to assist when taking on a particularly challenging role or project.
Coaching provides personal development that is genuinely bespoke and is particularly appropriate for those in senior positions who have little time and for whom being lonely at the top can be a common experience.
Coaching is driven by the needs of the client. It is about assisting people to achieve their full potential, with a focus on what they want to achieve now and in the future. It is a partnership between the coach and the client and is for a defined period of time.

Working With One Of Our Coaches:
Coaching is most effective when the individual has clarity about the issues to be addressed. These might be personal 'gremlins' perceived to obstruct performance, certain issues which are best addressed on a one-to-one basis rather than in a formal training session, or knowledge, skills and behaviours that the individual will need in order to progress into a future role. Our initial diagnostic process and first session will help to ensure that this clarity can be achieved early on in the process, ensuring that the most appropriate coach is selected from the start.
The Coaching Process:
The process starts with an initial discussion with the Coaching Consultant who will seek to understand the individual's objectives, the level of their existing skills/knowledge/behaviours and their motivation. The Coaching Consultant will then select the most appropriate Coach to work with the client.
The time frame for the coaching relationship is dependent upon the issues to be addressed. There are situations when objectives can be achieved within a couple of sessions and in other cases the relationship can go on for longer.
Single sessions where coaching is required on a specific skill are also available. A typical example of where this may apply includes presentation or media skills in the run up to a big meeting or a press interview. This works very well when some intensive coaching is required and a course is not immediately available or would not be appropriate because of the time pressures or the need for confidentiality.
Follow Up:
Frequently the relationship between the Coach and the client becomes ongoing on an 'as and when' basis, giving the client the opportunity to share new ideas or problem-solve with an outside party who understands them and their business. This can be a valuable and insightful process with the objective always to meet the needs of the client. This follow up implies a longer, less formal and structured relationship, which, nevertheless, can be extremely powerful and beneficial over the medium to long term.
