Executive Coaching

Become the leader you know you are!

Do you feel you need to take a step back from all the pressures and stresses of daily business to regain perspective and renew vision and direction as a leader?

70% of organisations are now using coaching as an integral part of leadership development and human resource development (HRD) programmes.

Through in-depth and thought-provoking conversations, the executive coach will engage someone in an executive position to get to the heart of their challenges. The purpose is to enable or groom the leader to greater effectiveness as well as unleash untapped executive potentials. Coaching an executive or manager to be more productive, balanced, self-aware, to evolve and understand an impact of change.

 

Executive Coaching specifically challenges and facilitates next level of development; therefore, the focus in Executive Coaching is on grooming people for the next step of professional and personal development.

The benefits of Executive Coaching:

  • Structured time to reflect and consider the vision and mission of the company versus personal
  • Balance in professional and personal life
  • Dialogue to give more choice and control to the decision making
  • Focus that empowers more responsibility and accountability
  • Empowering executives and managers to take their skills to the next level

The purpose of Coaching in organisations is to create support for executives, management and employees. By coaching people to unlock their inner potential, they can achieve extraordinary results. Coaching and unleashing leadership ensures the formation of self-actualising leaders, as well as improving communications within the company. Leading organisations to be productive means leading people, empowering people and unleashing their purpose.

team Coaching

How to build an invincible team?

Team Coaching concentrates on coaching groups of people who are close-knit mentally and emotionally. The team generally has a common goal as well as common objectives and a shared vision for their purpose and performance outcomes. These people are inter-dependent with mutual accountability when it comes to coordinating, cooperating and collaborating to achieve goals.

Coaching managers and team leaders will empower them to lead and manage better, to understand their purpose and where their input or effort fits into the bigger picture of the organisation. Most importantly, it helps to develop synergy within their teams.

The purpose of Team Coaching in an organisation is to take individuals from a group and transform them into an effective team. The effective team shall pave the way towards achieving a vision and mission that transcends what any single member could achieve alone. The process involves enabling each team player or member to develop a common sense of purpose and destiny about what the team is to achieve.

The Benefits of Team Coaching:

  • Creating conversation space
  • Handling of emotions
  • Facilitating and interpretation of change
  • Handling of power and empowering
  • Conflict resolutions
  • Relationship building
  • Team effectiveness
