Corporate Coaching

Coaching is a partnership that focuses on an individual, their leadership, goals and achievement in professional life with confidentially, objectivity and without judgment.

Objectives

• Demonstrate the organizations commitment to being employer of choice.

Difference between a Corporate Coach and other similar professionals?

The key difference:

• Trainer - A trainer deals with input of knowledge and skill
• Mentor - A Mentor focuses on an industry or subject matter and helps to carve a pathway through the organization
• Consultant - A Consultant diagnoses and recommends solutions to organizations at a macro level on strategic and cultural issues
• Manager - A Manager sets direction, manages process and performance
• Counselor - Counseling is about fixing / helping people without the strength or the inner resources to do so themselves (something anchors people into the past which blocks them going forwards)
• Coach - A corporate coach helps people achieve their goals by using their own inner resources. It is focused on the future.

What happens during a coaching session?

• You or your manager will be asked to determine beforehand what should happen as a result of the coaching. The answer to that question will be the focus of our attention to begin with.
• We will meet with you to establish where you want to want to be, where you are now and how long it will take to close the gap and how.
• Sometimes one session is all that is needed to clarify goals and remove the often self- inflicted barriers.
• In between sessions, you'll be given tasks to help further your understanding of your own thinking and behavior patterns.
• The coaching relationship is terminated once the desired goal(s) are achieved or no progress is being made.
