EXECUTIVE COACHING

Just as champion sportspeople hire coaches, high performance leaders need a coach to ensure they perform at their best. Coaching is fast-becoming part of the standard development training for valued executives and talented up-and-comers to achieve their highest potential. More and more executives are hiring their own coach to boost their performance and fast track their careers.

What is Executive Coaching?

Executive coaching, sometimes referred to as 'professional supervision' is in essence, a one-on-one strategic partnership that empowers managers to develop their leadership effectiveness and create positive change. Outcomes for coaching can be defined by the organisation, the coachee or in collaboration and once set, coaching conversations are confidential. Each coaching session provides the coachee with the opportunity to reflect, discuss challenges, gain insight, strategise, practise skills and refocus. Action is taken in between sessions so that new results are achieved.

'Executive' is defined as Directors, CEOs, GMs, HR Managers, Heads of Departments, Middle Managers, Team Leaders and Professionals.
