What is Executive Coaching?
Executive coaching is a widely used term that refers to individualised guidance provided by an external coach, consultant, or mentor. It aims to address an individual's challenges and requirements within the context of real-world business dynamics within an organisation. Executive coaching offers top leaders and managers an opportunity to reflect on their interpersonal relationships, personal performance, management and leadership style, and the overall organisational culture.
​
This type of coaching is particularly useful for chief executives, directors, senior leaders, and individuals seeking a space to explore both personal and professional goals. It provides a confidential environment for discussing sensitive issues and allows individuals to articulate their thoughts freely. Executive coaching offers the personalised attention that these individuals often lack in their professional settings, enabling them to express vulnerabilities and uncertainties in a confidential space.
Relational coaching approach
Our approach to relational coaching serves as a bridge between you, the client's personal identity and your professional role, emphasising the importance of the relationship between the coach and the client. This approach is explained as follows:
• 40% - Client Factor: This encompasses attributes such as openness, optimism, motivation, and the presence of a strong support network, whether through friendships, family, or participation in religious communities.
• 15% - Expectancy: This refers to the client's hope and belief in achieving their goals, often inspired by the guidance and support provided by the coach.
• 15% - Utilisation of Models, Theories, Tools, and Techniques: This portion involves the application of various frameworks, theories, and practical tools to facilitate the client's progress and growth.
• 30% - Relationship Factor: The quality of the relationship between the coach and the client significantly influences the coaching process. Through empathy, respect, genuine interest, and a shared understanding of the objectives, this aspect fosters trust and mutual collaboration in determining the direction of the coaching journey.
