What is Professional Coaching
The International Coach Federation defines coaching as .....
Professional coaching is an ongoing professional relationship that helps people produce extraordinary results in their lives, careers, businesses or organizations. Through the process of coaching, clients deepen their learning, improve their performance and enhance their quality of life.
Why engage a Professional Executive Coach
A coach is engaged, when an individual or employer wants to further develop the individual. People engage a coach when they are prepared to make changes in their life. Coaching promotes empowerment, further develops self esteem, self confidence and personal potential. This accelerates the process of improved performance enabling the individual to move forward and achieve their personal and professional potential.
Who engages an Executive Coach
The coaching relationship can benefit all kinds of people. Coaching caters to the’ high-achiever’, the employee with hidden potential, or individuals looking to develop their self confidence and abilities. The coaching program is tailored to you – the individual.
Benefits of Executive Coaching for Individuals
There can be lifelong benefits of Professional Executive Coaching. As professional executive coaches focus on working with the individual to achieve:
- Clarification of vision and goals
- Increased self confidence
- Identification of career aspirations, and new opportunities
- Development of new skills and identification of personal strengths
- Recognition of the interdependence of performance growth with personal growth
- The elevation of personal and business success to greater heights

- Recognise their own potential

Improving staff happiness and wellness
One of the most important ways to keep staff happy is to communicate to them that they are appreciated, and that the organisation is willing to invest time and effort on their development.
An executive coaching program allows the employee time to identify their key values and goals, to identify and eliminate potential obstacles, develop new skills, improve existing skills and ultimately become even more of an asset to the organisation, able to take on new roles and challenges.
How does Executive Coaching work?
Initially, a professional executive coach needs to gain an understanding of the organisation and the individual’s needs, what outcomes the client is hoping to achieve, if there are potential obstacles and the client’s expectations in terms of people, time and investment?
The executive coach is then able to support the client in identifying values, purpose and vision for both the organisation and on a personal level.
Strategies can then be formulated to bring about change in behaviour and attitudes. Goals can be established that align with their values and visions. Action plans can be formulated for achieving the goals and removing potential obstacles.
How to achieve the best results
- Dedication and trust in the process
- Ongoing communication
- Commitment to the program - best results are achieved through progressive coaching sessions, over a specified period of time
- Implementing strategies and action plans
- Being accountable
