Executive Coaching

Its lonely at the top. Chief executives, directors and senior managers rarely get straight feedback or have few people that can help them out with confidential issues, without exposing their vulnerability. Small wonder then that they appreciate the confidentiality and personal attention of a professional coach.

Implementing a coaching culture

Can you imagine a dynamic company full of self-motivated, satisfied individuals? Organisations have found that coaching skills are very useful when applied in the fields of leadership and management. Once a company embraces coaching, and senior individuals receive coaching, they become more effective and keen to learn how coaching can be applied in their business. Performance and emotional competencies are improved- self awareness, self regulation, personal motivation, empathy (Goleman 1998 "Working with Emotional Intelligence"). Such competencies make the difference between satisfactory and successful performance. Coaching is a key contributor to individuals maximising their contribution to organisational development; it is a preferred improvement strategy in successful businesses.

What makes coaching so successful?

• It's the development of a working alliance that encourages and supports -
• Better awareness of self
• Reflection on dilemmas, choices and alternatives
• Problem solving and taking action
• Reviewing outcomes and learning

Coaching is a process of self-discovery, a time for reflection and learning and an opportunity to plan and review the outcomes with an external person, within a highly confidential relationship.

It is a practical, on-the-job, results orientated and time-effective method of learning that may be of used to improve performance, prevent derailment and implement organisational change. Results demonstrate that clients rate it highly as a process for self development.

Client feedback

"Receiving feedback on MBTI and 16PF psychometric questionnaires really helped me focus and improve my self awareness and how I communicate with others. I was able to effect sustainable change in my career and my home life as a result" CEO

" It was amazing! I learnt so much about myself when talking to Alison about my new role and the issues I was facing. Being coached opened up a whole new dimension to people management and strategic planning. This insight means that I am more effective and more confident in the best way forward. Recognising how others might feel and act has influenced the project and its successful outcome" HR Manager
