EXECUTIVE COACHING 1 TO 1
Building your established and emerging leaders
The power of coaching is the unparalleled benefit of one to one focus. It is a rare thing to have someone’s complete focus and attention for a block of time.
While training programmes, courses and certifications can all have a positive impact on the skills of your people and the related health of your business, to have a skilled coach focus entirely on one person produces benefits that are greater than anything else we've seen in our years in business. This is why we build 1 to 1 coaching into our group programmes too.
We work with clients in person at their own places of business or via video calls.
Performance
Coaching
Performance coaching is the bedrock for our coaching work with clients.
In classic coaching style we define a SMART goal and work with our client to agree a plan that helps them move towards the goal. They'll take time to fully consider what they want to achieve and then set about achieving that with intention and focus.
We help them break down the steps, remove some light blocks and help them move forward with momentum.
​
This is the level coaching that many will be familiar with. Classic coaching models like GROW (Goals, Reality, Options & Way Forward) are used in this kind of work.
Developmental
Coaching
Developmental coaching starts to work on our clients' behaviours and patterns with a view to them developing themselves for the next level.
​
We help clients identify patterns of thoughts and behaviours that are holding them back from achieving their full potential.
​
Through coaching tools like future pacing and cognitive behavioural coaching our clients have the opportunity to look at things from new perspectives and can develop new, more useful skills and behaviours.
This can accelerate their successful transition into more senior roles and move from doing to managing to leading.
Transformational
Coaching
Transformational coaching is when we work with our clients' full range of cognitive, emotional, sensory and relational patterns.
​
We help clients find transformation across all aspect of their lives so that a more fulfilled and rounded human shows up at work.
​
Working on limiting beliefs and even to existential level coaching around our core purpose, values and reasons for being can be very powerful for our clients.
​
For leaders who are already successful, even a small tweak can be transformational for themselves, their teams and the wider organisation.
A focus on Leadership
Leaders often come to us when they are either feeling stuck at a certain level and want to break through to the next level of seniority or have been promoted to a senior post and are offered support to make the transition successfully.
​
​We developed the 5S model of leadership development from analysing the key themes that come up in the executive coaching room. While the sessions will always be led by the client, this model can be a helpful framework to help break down where a client currently is versus where they want to be. This model also forms the basis for our signature group coaching programme – Leadership Transitions.
​
​Setting: What is happening in your current organisation? Are you clear on your objectives and goals? Are you clear on the behaviours that will drive your success in this role and the next one?
​
​Skills: What are your current, dominant leadership skills? Are there any gaps that you want to fill? Are these skills aligned to your Setting?
​
Style: What is your dominant leadership style? How does you team describe you? And your peers? Is this a style that is supporting you and your business to achieve your objectives?
​
Stakeholders: Who are your key stakeholders, internal and external? What role are they playing in supporting you and your objectives? What is your approach to communications with them? How could it be improved?
​
Self: What patterns of behaviour are you bringing into play in your daily transactions? Where are you blocked and holding yourself back? What daily leadership habits create your current reality? If you changed your approach how would that change your outcomes? What beliefs are you being run by?
​
Through a client centred yet methodical approach we can use the 5S model of leadership development to take a 360 view of the leader and support the leader in taking tangible actions. This model also forms the basis for our signature group programme – Leadership Transitions.
