Executive Coaching is directly aimed at improving performance at work. The first stage of our coaching is always a personal profiling assessment. The profiling covers personality, general reasoning ability, critical thinking skills and values. When applicable it also includes a 360 degree survey to gather opinions from your work colleagues. The result is a pattern of personal characteristics which will enable both you and your coach to achieve a deeper insight into your own potential. When this is set against your job requirements, it helps us to clearly identify your strengths and potential development areas.
Having completed a personal profiling assessment, you will undertake a half day of ‘quick win’ coaching. This includes feedback on the personal profiling results from a Human Factors consultant, which will help you to understand the results of the assessments and identify how best to maximise your potential and explore possible development needs. The feedback and coaching session will discuss the implications for your role, your team and your organisation. Quick-win strategies that can be used immediately to improve the effectiveness of interactions at work will be identified and you will work with the consultant to develop your own Personal Development Plan.
An Executive Profile Report is written following the session and will detail the characteristics identified by the assessment. An objective analysis highlights your relative strengths and limitations and draws out the underlying tendencies and potential of your personality, skills and ability characteristics.
The development plan may include further coaching or training, although this is often not required as the techniques covered during the ‘Quick-Win’ session, combined with self development are usually sufficient to provide a significant increase in personal performance.
