Executive Coaching
Given the scale and nature of the demands and challenges being faced by today's senior business leaders, they often experience apparently conflicting pulls relating to their development:
- A need to develop themselves to ensure they are operating at their optimum
- Little time to give to their own development
- A need for highly tailored development that matches their specific requirements
BCL's individual 1-1 executive coaching is a powerful means of addressing these different needs, providing a mix of challenge and support to enable the individual leader to meet their development goals.
Most of our coaching assignments focus on:
- Leaders of high potential who are preparing for more senior positions
- Recently appointed executives who wish to make a quick impact in their new roles
- Experienced executives wishing to enhance their effectiveness by further developing a particular aspect of their leadership - political skills, interpersonal style, presence/impact, ability to lead/manage major change projects as well as key skills such as influencing, negotiating and confronting
- Those wanting an informed and objective sounding-board to test/improve their decision-making given the challenges they are currently facing.
Distincitive features of our coaching approach are:
- Using a clear coaching framework, tailored to the individual, which sets out specific development goals and a coaching plan and defines outcomes against which progress can be assessed
- Maintaining client confidentiality while ensuring that the process is as transparent as possible, so the needs of different stakeholders are met
- Carefully matching coaches to the needs of individual executives to ensure successful partnerships that provide challenge, stretch and support
Important Benefits of BCL's tailored approach include:
- A strong business and outcomes focus together with insights into the psychological, emotional and interpersonal issues affecting performance
- Purposeful and focused coaching that leads to tangible change and improvement so clients get value for money
- Accurate identification of those aspects of thinking, behaving and acting that, if adjusted, will have a disproportionate impact on performance
- A focus on the development of effective learning skills which executives can use to drive their ongoing development and continuous improvement beyond the coaching assignment.
