Coaching

The Challenge

The demands on CEO’s, Directors, Business Owners, Senior Executives and Managers are higher than ever.  These individuals often have limited time to demonstrate that they can deliver strategic direction, create a unified corporate cultural and deliver those all-important improvements to the bottom-line.  
When the demands and responsibilities are such in can be difficult for an individual to gain the clarity, direction and drive required to move the business forward.

The Solution

Executive Coaching addresses agreed-to organisational and individual needs, giving individuals the specific skills required to strategically plan for the future and to inspire the required commitment to action from others.  

At Mindstrong we have a diverse faculty of coaches and we will select the coach with the ‘best-fit’ according to your brief and industry sector.   All of our Business Coaches have extensive experience in coaching and facilitation across a wide range of industry sectors. We work with CEO’s, Directors, Board Members, Business Owners and Senior Executives and understand the essential skills required to not only lead a team of people but to also lead a company. Effective succession planning, balancing financial demands with personnel requirements whilst working towards achieving that competitive advantage are common challenges faced. Because trust and rapport are the essential foundation of any one to one coaching partnership, the selection of an executive coach often comes down to personal chemistry, therefore the first step is always to meet with one of our Business Coaches.

Executive Coaching is a process very specifically tailored to the individual and it is often a reactive process, dealing with specific issues as and when they arise. It can therefore be difficult to outline everything that will be covered.  Some of the more common and core issues include:

• Greater self-awareness/personal impact
• Strategic thinking and planning
• Leading a business through change
• Goal setting and achievement
• Creating a corporate culture
• Reaching your full potential and leading others to theirs
• Managing resource
• Taking a business to the next level
• Building trust and commitment
• Succession planning

Programme Overview

The frequency, length and content of these sessions will be mutually agreed between you, your organisation (where applicable) and your coach, but typically take place over a 4-8 month period in 90 minute - 2 hour sessions.  Where there is a requirement for a more focused, briefer programme we will be happy to accommodate this. 

How sessions are conducted, (face to face, telephone, skype etc) will be determined by the client’s specific requirements, however we do recommend that at least the first session is completed face to face.  This helps to build rapport and trust, which are essential for any successful coaching relationship.

Clients also have the additional option of incorporating a 360° questionnaire. This invaluable tool offers additional opportunities for self-awareness and reflection. Please see our section on Leadership 360° for further information.
