What is
executive coaching about
It is difficult to sum up everything that a well-led and applied coaching process manages to do. A famous quote says ”Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you are right” (Henry Ford).
These words are so simple, yet so real. It is exactly what executive coaching works on: to help you realize you can, that you already have the necessary resources and it is up to you to access them. It sounds simple, doesn’t it? Why then do we go past such wisdom and never stop think about how to use it to our own advantage?
The people who stop analyzing, start owning their life and take action will commence a coaching process, now,
This is how executive coaching works, in brief:
It relies on your own experience and resources
In coaching you work with your resources – visible and invisible, with everything you are as an individual. In real time, you learn to notice the lessons taught by previous experiences, the mistakes you continuously make, and the patterns for your success.
It works for your future
The founding method of coaching is heavily future-oriented. We often live for tomorrow, without realising that today creates our future. Coaching helps you design your future starting now. You will actively take part in building your success and the life you want to live.
It is only about you and it gives you a personalised approach in a safe space
Coaching is similar to going to a skilled tailor. You get a suit that fits you perfectly, which you can use anytime, no matter how demanding you are. Coaching is only about you, in a lively, supportive and safe space.
It helps you become the creator of your own reality
Do you ever feel like you are not in control of your own life? Do you feel like things are passing by, that you are missing important events around you? Coaching makes you the leader of your life, because it restores the power to build your own reality.
It helps to know yourself better and identify your SWOT
In coaching, it is not about blaming the environment or those around you. We do not work with generalisations, but with your strengths and weaknesses, with your development opportunities, your personal threats, so that you get to know yourself better and act accordingly.
Challenges indicating the necessity of executive coaching
Executive coaching can work perfectly for you if you find yourself in one (or more) of the situations below:
- You want to advance in your career
- You feel you’ve reached a standstill and do not know what the next step is
- you are facing a challenge and don’t know “which way to go” or how to manage the situation
- you have just changed countries, and you find yourself in an entirely new culture, exposed to a different environment, mind-sets and team
- you have lost faith in your organisation or it has lost faith in you
- you would like a promotion, but some way or another you are always “”skipped” in this process
- you want to expand your self-knowledge or you want to make a stronger stand as a leader
- you have reached a plateau and would like to develop to your true potential
The list does not end here. Often you can start the coaching process with a certain objective and later realise it is not that important to you, it doesn’t really represent what satisfies you. Therefore, objectives can change along the way.
How a coaching process takes place – in 3 steps
If you are not familiar with coaching or it’s the first time you’ve come in contact with it, this is what it’s all about in 3 simple steps.
-
Step #1. We identify the need
You discover a need or a strong wish that has not been fulfilled until now. You realise you need support – a “coach” to help you reach your goal.
-
Step#2. We explore
We have an initial strategic, contracting session. This is when we settle all the details regarding the coaching process: the length, the objectives, how you evaluate the results etc. We will answer all questions; clarify all issues about the next steps.
-
Step #3. We start working
Session by session (the minimum recommendation in order to see the difference is 12 sessions), we work on several areas and challenges which intuitively come up in the discussions, but eventually, everything falls into place, and the path is clear.
