Executive Coaching

How does executive coaching work?

No company can succeed without the loyalty, focus and output of its people. Therefore, organizations bring in executive coaches to help C-suite officers, VPs and other executives with setting, implementing and achieving goals. These goals might be defined as enhancing productivity, developing leadership skills, learning how to effectively manage staff, or improving communication. The coach’s role is to facilitate the changes needed to achieve the desired results. Behavioural patterns will be transformed and ultimately both the executive and the organization reap the benefits.

How does executive coaching benefit an organization?

Executive coaching allows critical performers to break through their current limits and further develop their strengths. When you develop individuals in this manner, your organization gains the following:

  • Improved performance. Executive coaching elicits top results from key talent.
  • Enhanced company culture. Leaders come to recognize their role in shaping the environment.
  • Heightened efficiency. Coaching allows executives to enhance their effectiveness to better meet organizational objectives.
  • Smoother transitions. Executive coaching for new appointments ensures fluid transitions as competencies are quickly developed.
  • Higher employee retention. Individuals who are intrinsically motivated and meeting their potential, are primed to stay for the long haul.
  • Improved reputation as an employer. Companies that are renowned for developing talent draw top candidates.
  • Stronger client relationships. Coached executives and managers who are client facing will enhance their connections with key clientele.
How does executive coaching benefit executives?

Executive coaching helps individuals become extraordinary leaders, executives and people. Those who receive coaching gain:
Real results. This includes greater productivity, more timely promotions, and a larger paycheck.
Clarity. Coached executives come to understand how they operate, what they value, how others perceive them and how they can improve.
A sounding board. Coaching allows executives to fearlessly explore their own ideas gain much needed perspective.
The capacity to identify and crush limits. Executive coaching ensures coachees become aware of limiting beliefs and attitudes that hold them back—and then obliterate them.
Candor. The honest truth that no one else can or will say.
Support for building specific skills. These may involve team- and relationship -building, communication, strategic thinking and execution, change management, integrity, or something else entirely.
Emotional support. Executive coaching provides the empathy and encouragement executives need to thrive.

What to expect?
Executive coaching is a three-way arrangement between the coach, the coachee and the organization. Together, the parties involved establish clear goals for the coaching period and define the metrics by which success is determined. This allows for real results that are quantitatively measurable.

Life Coaching

What should you know about life coaching?

Life coaching unleashes what already makes you brilliant and amplifies it a hundred-fold. You’re already great! You’re strong and smart and capable. Things are probably going all right for you. But there’s a gap. Something is missing. You have this feeling that you could be doing more. That some of your most valued dreams, goals, or aspirations are as yet unrealized. That you haven’t quite tapped your fullest potential.

Life coaching helps you overcome that gap and transforms your life from ordinary to extraordinary. Building on your current abilities and strengths, the life coach facilitates changes in your behaviour that guarantees you achieve your goals and become the most fulfilled version of yourself.

What is life coaching?
Life coaching is a dynamic partnership devoted to the development and personal growth of the individual being coached (the coachee). It’s about affecting behavioural changes that will result in you achieving clearly defined goals. Life coaching is intended to accomplish the following: Clarify your values and uncover what gives your life meaning. Assert goals that are aligned with what you truly wish to achieve. Break down goals into a series of tangible tasks that will be accomplished over a finite amount of time. Overcome any and all obstacles that stand in the way of the your goals. Enhance your inherent strengths. Polish your unique set of talents. Life coaching places in your hands the means to achieve your goals, aspirations and dreams. It’s an investment that ensures objectives are realized and potential is fully developed.
What is the coach's role?

In order to help the coachee achieve the kind of real and lasting results that will enhance their entire life, the coach must act as a champion of the coachee’s asserted goals. The life coach is likely to become a supporter, motivator, mentor, role model, strategist, analyst, ally, sounding board and collaborator.

However, one of the most powerful functions they perform is as an accountability partner. In this role they become a powerful reminder of the coachee’s commitment to their goals. They maintain regular contact with the coachee and check-in to see how they’re progressing on tasks. They make sure the coachee stays motivated and ways are developed to overcome obstacles that arise. The life coach lights the spark that perpetuates ongoing momentum on the coachee’s path to success. 

What is the coachee's role?
The coach is useless without the ongoing commitment and participation of the individual being coached. It’s expected that the coachee be prepared to dig in and do what it takes to get results. Active engagement throughout the assignment is a must. It’s also necessary to be in good mental and physical health as the life coaching process is in no way intended as a substitute for medical or psychiatric care.
Who can benefit from having a life coach?
Almost anyone can benefit from life coaching, but if you’re in any of the following situations, you may find the services of a life coach exceptionally beneficial. You want to live a more meaningful life but don’t know where to begin. You’re going through a major life transition or change and want to make the most of it. You want to make a daring career change. You have a clear goal but don’t know how to get there. You want to improve your relationships. You have a particular area you’d like to develop (such as self-esteem, communication, assertiveness, self-care, etc.). You’re stuck in a rut and want to rediscover your passion for life.
What are the advantages of having a life coach?
A life coach can make the difference between living your dreams “maybe someday” versus taking the actions needed today in order to see those dreams realized in a foreseeable tomorrow. A life coach can: Help you overcome the obstacles that prevent you from achieving your goals. Motivate you till you reach the finish line of a major project or undertaking. Work with you to develop a particular skill or attribute. Help you clarify your values and outline achievable goals. Provide honest, unbiased feedback. Help you transition into a new life role (for example, a change in employment or relationship status). Provide you with the framework to make better decisions in life. Empower you to lead a truly extraordinary life.
