EXECUTIVE COACHING & LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

WHAT IS EXECUTIVE COACHING?

The International Coaching Federation (ICF) defines executive coaching as:

​

"Partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential".

​

Depending on business requirements, Executive Coaching will generally involve an initial three-way meeting between the individual, their leader and the coach to agree the coaching goals, followed by a program of one-on-one coaching sessions with the individual.  This may also be supported by feedback by way of an assessment tool or key stakeholder engagement. 

 

The coaching sessions will work through a process of further developing goals, generating client-led solutions and strategies, agreeing an action plan, and looping back on progress and outcomes.

 

The program is individually tailored to the client needs and continuously focused around creating sustained personal change and improved performance for both individual and organisational benefit.
