Committed?
Leaders make commitments to achieve things that require other people to act in certain ways. Coaching develops your ability to influence and inspire others to adopt change, achieve performance goals and unite to reach commitments. You may be moving into a new position, dealing with difficult people or just ready for the next level of leadership.

Personalised and objective input

Leadership Coaching offers personalised and objective input delivered through the framework of professional coaching.

Leaders learn more about themselves, their strengths, opportunities for improvement and new skills to achieve better outcomes professionally.

In addition to personalised learning, leaders enjoy the ability to develop strategies with someone who is objective, understands them and who can share relevant experience.

Coaching helps leaders meet their immediate demands while strengthening skills and solutions in a professional and confidential environment.

People use coaching for:

• Developing Influence in leadership
• Moving into new positions
• Dealing with tough situations or people
• Implementing change and strategy
• Developing leadership skills

Results

"I wanted to thank you for your continued support and insight into both my professional and personal opportunities for growth. In my position, it is often difficult to openly share your concerns and challenges, so it is refreshing and very beneficial to be able to do this in an executive coaching setting.

Your extensive business experience means that you bring practical and workable ideas to the issues that I have raised, helping me to advance towards the goals I have set. I look forward to continuing working with you"

Brenton Smith, VP Sales Australia.

What makes a great coach?

Good executive coaching provides value to contemporary senior management, and mentoring to upcoming leaders.

Coaching is a professional skill that extends beyond leadership experience into a set of skills in working at a deeper level of personal development.

Identifying a credible coach:

• Ask for professional coaching credentials
• Experience in Behavioral Sciences know-how
• Leadership experience
• A current coaching portfolio

A once great CEO or director does not necessarily guarantee a masterful coach who is able to help you achieve results, rather than simply talk about them.

A coach must be strong on strategy, good at creative thinking and able to customise individual coaching programs to suit each executive's particular needs.

How does coaching work?

We begin by exploring the outcomes you want to achieve. We then assess your natural and learned skills and style, and begin to leverage those to advance toward agreed outcomes. You'll find the process connects you with your principles and values, resulting in a deep feeling of satisfaction in your choices.

For senior executives, coaching can be used to quickly and deeply assess situations and goals with someone you can trust and level with. Someone who will challenge you, be honest and share ideas with you.

For new leaders, coaching is used to develop agreed skills, behaviours and results. This is often sponsored by a senior manager and is measured at checkpoints along the way.

Coaching is linked with business KPI's and personal performance plans. We measure results and often include tools to gather feedback and assess leadership skills (e.g. emotional intelligence).

Who has a coach?

Over 50% of organisations now provide coaching for their top leaders. Boards, CEO's, Directors, business managers and owners all have coaches working alongside them.

Why be coached at all?
Perhaps because gazing at yourself in the management mirror can give a distorted reflection. And, in a world where complexity and communication increasingly dominate, the objectivity and subtle guiding hand of a coach can help attenuate your management blemishes."

Gary Neat, National President - Australian Institute of Management

Achieving your goals by using a good coach is likely to prove as wise in the years ahead as will the choice of appropriate postgraduate studies and career moves.
