Coaching is different from Training. It does not teach a skill or provide knowledge and data; it unlocks your existing skills, your knowledge and your creative potential allowing you to break though problems and challenges in the workplace. It allows you to rise to the challenges put by the business to answer questions like:
How can I transform my business performance?
Coaching allows your executives to solve problems and create ideas in a focused way that is not always possible in the demands and routines of normal business. It gives them time to think.
How do I create organisational change?
Coaching can be the start point and the facilitation for organisational redesign and change. With no organisational history or loyalties, the coach can ask provoking questions of the Leadership Team in these situations.
How to I adopt a Growth Mindset to drive transformation across my business?
An external Executive Coach can challenge conservatism and orthodoxy in a way that internal peers and employees cannot.
How do I improve my Leadership Team Members performance in a constructive way?
Coaches can challenge Executives decisions on short and long term actions in a way that is both constructive and motivating. Your most senior leaders will be stress testing their own directions.
How to I create a short term increase in diversity of thinking?
Leadership Coaching causes different angles of attack and different ways of thinking from the same individuals. It can temporarily or even permanently disconnect individuals from Group Think norms.
How do I cope with this new or additional responsibility?
Executive Coaching can improve prioritisation, delegation and productivity gains.
Why do I pay for the Coaching upfront and not after the delivery?
You are not only buying the Coach’s skill and ability as a coach, you are also paying for the time it takes to deliver these skills in session.
We recognise that your Executives have busy roles and may need to move sessions at the last minute. Paying upfront mitigates the impact on our businesses revenue by having time reserved, lost and subsequent time blocked to new business. This in turn allows us to keep our session rates competitive.
Should I choose Online or In Person Coaching?
We deliver both online and in person coaching, and this can be effective for all types of package.
Where in person coaching is required the only difference in package cost is the reclaiming of travel & expenses in line with your companies policy.
What if Executive Coaching isn’t for my organisation?
Through our initial discussions we might agree that coaching isn’t what you really need to transform yourself or your organisation. There might be the opportunity to work together through Mentoring or Consulting.
Whatever the outcome of our conversation, you will be better placed to move forward having eliminated choices and identified new opportunities to explore.
If we can, we will recommend other places to look for your external or internal intervention.
Why coaching and not consulting?
Even though we provide consulting services there are distinct advantages to the coaching route.
Coaching provides a much lighter touch in terms of time and cost and at the same time is more attuned to the organisation as it leverages the experts in the business, your senior team.
Coaching allows you to provide your own ideas and solutions that can be more in sync with culture and capabilities, more sensitive to staff and customer needs than might be provided by an external consultant working at arms length from you teams.
