EXECUTIVE leadership COACHING

leadership Coaching Results

Specific goals for leadership coaching will be defined by the leader, with regular attention and actions focused on meeting those goals. Some of the amazing outcomes typically achieved through leadership coaching are as follows:

1. Deepened personal foundation through a stronger relationship with and understanding of oneself

2. Clarity on high-leverage structures for effectiveness, and conversely, clarity on what gets in the leader’s way (and how to remove it)

3. Increased ability to communicate clearly, empathetically and efficiently

4. Increased understanding of trust: how to diagnose it, increase it, and repair it

5. Tools and skills for leadership effectiveness (time management, problem solving, communication, decision-making, etc.)

the leadership Coaching Process

Essential coaching skills include deep listening, powerful questioning, acknowledging, and synthesizing what is being said. Leadership coaching is a dynamic, emergent process centered on what the leader brings to the appointment. A few of the roles the coach holds are: thought partner, devil’s advocate, mirror, accountability partner, and teacher. This results in increased clarity and new learning. 

During a typical leadership coaching session, the coach and the leader work together in a co-creative conversation to forward the leader’s goals. The leader sends in a “Focus Report” the day prior to the appointment that gives them the opportunity to articulate successes and challenges since the last appointment, as well as their intended outcome for the coaching.

Throughout and at the end of each session, the leader commits to “action steps” that will move them forward toward their goals and allow for contemplation and integration of new insights. The session concludes with the leader articulating (out loud!) what reflections they have from the time in order to solidify their learning.

What’s Included

There is flexibility in the options for how often you have leadership coaching appointments. Most leaders work on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, as the regularity of scheduled sessions gets to be strategically placed into their work rhythm. Leadership coaching contracts are usually 6 or 12 months.

• Unlimited text, phone, and email correspondence

• Offline document review and feedback

• Tools & worksheets for accountability and leadership development

• Resource recommendations as needed
