What is Leadership Coaching?
Leadership Coaching is a collaborative, individualised relationship between a leader and the coach -- the leader could well be an executive, manager, supervisor or business owner for example. Regardless, it's a partnership -- the aim of which is to bring about sustained behavioural change and transform the quality of the leader's working and personal life.
It could involve working with individuals or teams in executive or management positions.
Coaching has become a viable option for businesses and organisations looking to operate at peak performance. Where training and workshops are usually general in nature when everyone learns the same set of material, coaching is individualised and specifically tailored to the person.
Sometimes, the leader uses me as a "confidential thinking partner".
However, the other areas that senior personnel have sought my coaching for have included:
- leadership development
- succession planning & management
- interpersonal or communication skills
- developing "superstar" workers
- work / life balance
- time management
- presentation and networking skills
- career development & planning
- dealing with conflict
- staff development
