COACHING - A collaborative relationship
Coaching is a collaborative partnership designed to clarify, energize and accelerate who you are, what you really want and where you want to go. It can take place individually, with teams or in combination.
Executive and individual coaching
Executive coaching provides a one-to-one confidential relationship between a highly qualified coach and the business executive. The purpose of the coaching engagement is to facilitate professional and personal development of the executive or valued employee.
The role of the coach is to help identify those areas that are strategic to the success of the executive, to offer feedback and encouragement, and to work shoulder to shoulder in developing strategies for success. When appropriate, the coach will also offer advice and counsel.
The individual and coach work together to create learning, integrate new behaviors and successfully achieve development goals. Coaching goals are quite varied and could include issues such as leveraging opportunities in a new position or promotion, developing a more effective leadership style, navigating political mine fields in a changing organizational structure or working more effectively cross–culturally or cross functionally.
