Executive Coaching

One-to-one coaching focuses on the outcomes you want to achieve, and offers a valuable alternative to more formal training courses. Maybe you need to:

  • Fine tune your interpersonal skills
  • Be able to motivate and build productive teams
  • Find ways to handle difficult situations
  • Get some independent advice, safe in the knowledge it will be confidential and non-judgemental

Interested?

Get in touch and we’ll set up an initial meeting to ensure the chemistry is right between you and your coach. We’ll then discuss broad expectations of the coaching - what you want to achieve and by when. The following one-to-one sessions will last no longer than three hours at a time and focus on:

  • Your most important needs
  • Your most important goals (are they the right goals?)
  • What is stopping you from achieving your goals
  • How the obstacles can be overcome

Every meeting will conclude with an action plan. Because coaching is so focused around the individual, it’s hard to say what tools and techniques we may employ to help you; however among others we may use psychometric tests (such as Myers-Briggs and Firo-B) or 360 degree feedback.

Take a look at the testimonials page to hear how executive coaching helped others with their personal development.

 

How it will work

We will hold an initial meeting with you to ensure that the ‘chemistry’ is right between us and you feel that we will be able to help you with your personal development.

We will discuss in broad terms, both your and our expectations in terms of outcomes.

Our recommendation would be to hold 6 x 2 hour sessions with you. 

During these sessions we will focus on:

  • What are your most important needs just now?
  • What are your most important goals – have I got quality goals?
  • What stops you from achieving your goals?
  • What blocks, obstacles or challenges get in the way?
  • How can the obstacles be overcome?

Every meeting will conclude with an action plan

We will utilise appropriate psychometric tests to help you become more self-aware, these may include Myers-Briggs, Firo-B and others as deemed necessary.

Probably my best quality as a coach is that I ask a lot of challenging questions and let the person come up with the answer

A good coach will make his players see what they can be rather than what they are.

The test of a good coach is that when they leave, others will carry on successfully.

You get the best effort from others not by lighting a fire beneath them, but by building a fire within.
