Coaching for senior staff and management
Having a personal coach provides senior managers with a confidential and vital
sounding board, especially when facing tough decisions and complex situations.
Our coaches are top notch, serving your interests above all. They are available
24/7 and can serve at locations around the world.
Step 1: Pre-coaching interview. Before any contractual
arrangement is entered into, we suggest you set up a two hour
advisory meeting with us to allow senior managers to meet the
potential Coach and become comfortable with the process. For more on
the cost of such an initial interview, click here.
You may wish to ask us to perform a Philosophy Audit© or an Ethics
Review before any coaching begins. Such an audit or review will help
you determine the precise goals and needs you may have for coaching.
Step 2: Contracting. Contact us by phone or e-mail to talk about
your company's coaching needs. Coaches can work in several ways.
Three options are given below, but others also exist.
Option One: Individual. Coach individual workers. Such coaching
allows the worker to talk through difficult situations with an
impartial, trained professional.
Option Two: Directed. Individual coaching can also be directed,
either by the supervisor or by the individual him or her self.
Directed individual coaching begins by setting personal goals, and
the coaching leads to achieving these aims.
Note: Individual coaching is in wide use among executives
and senior managers.
Option Three: Group. Various management teams or work
groups can also be coached together. In this case, the coach
listens impartially to group discussions and decision-making
sessions, and offers feedback to either individuals, the entire
group, or managers.
Step 3: Interview. Our coaching contract begins with an in-person
interview to better understand your unique needs, goals and intentions.
Step 4: Coaching Sessions. Individual sessions are typically 30 - 90
minutes and often occur over lunch or in after-work settings. They are
quite informal and relaxed, producing maximum results. In the early
going, it may be desirable to have weekly sessions, but twice-monthly
sessions can also work just fine.
Step 5: Tele-Coaching. Once the relationship is established and
rapport is evident, the Coach and Employee can continue via telephone
or even e-mail chats. Such chats do not replace in-person contact but
are useful during high stress periods or at other times when intense
coaching is called for.
