Executive coaching

Why employ an executive coach?

In our 2009 survey our clients (the people who pay for coaching) told us that the five most important benefits of executive coaching are:

1. Developing leadership capability

2. Improving performance

3. Supporting fundamental behavioural change

4. Retaining key staff

5. Supporting speedy and effective transitions into new roles

The people who we actually coach would add to the list … 'having someone from outside the organisation to act as a confidential sounding board, someone who understands my world'.

How does it work?

Our clients identified five essential ingredients of a successful coaching assignment:

1. Clear goals and objectives

2. An agreed structure and timetable

3. The involvement of the participant’s line manager

4. Great chemistry between coach and participant

5. Regular progress reports

Our methodology addresses all of these issues without compromising coach-participant confidentiality. Our commitment to delivering outstanding results extends to supporting the participant by telephone and e-mail for six months after the end of an assignment – at no extra charge.
