• Leadership and Executive Coaching

Coaching has a unique place as a support tool for personal development because it can readily incorporate four key elements necessary for behavioural change:

• clarifying goals and direction
• upgrading skills
• optimising the learner’s environment
• working on ‘the inner game’ of mental models and thought patterns.

Leadership or executive coaching puts the emphasis on the development of the coachee to increase their effectiveness in managing themselves and leading others.

The goal is to develop the person and through this, improve the performance of their team and the wider organisation.  It is usually aimed at getting the client to reach high levels of performance or realise potential rather than remedying faults. The focus is on:

Changing the viewing

• assisting the coachee to see the situation anew and from different perspectives

Changing the doing

• helping the coachee develop new behaviours.

Outcomes

The end outcome of a successful coaching assignment is not just that the coachee has dealt with the issues or opportunities which motivated them to see a coach in the first place, but they have tools which they can continue to use in the future; specifically:

• their problem solving skills have been developed
• they have the ability to set realistic goals and can design actions to achieve those goals
• they have increased confidence in reaching their goals and constructively dealing with setbacks or changes along the way
• they can more effectively deal with their emotions and the emotions of others.
