Executive Coaching Approach
Client engagements are usually 6 months to 1 year in length. Our method focuses on specific engagement objectives and desired outcomes. Executive Coaching meeting time with clients ranges from 2-4 hours per month by held via telephone or Zoom meeting. Additional meetings with key stakeholders and/or colleagues (optional) provide useful data. The role of the Executive Coach is to listen, analyze, synthesize, assist and guide.
The goal of Executive Coaching is to:
-
Synthesize information gathered
-
Provide our clients with practical, useful ideas
-
Make it actionable
Two requirements of effective coaching are:
-
Clearly stated written objectives for the client work undertaken together
-
Commitment by you (the client) to do the work.
While each engagement differs based on each client’s needs, here is an example outline of Executive Coaching services:
-
Introductory one-on-one meeting to establish with statement of objectives for our work together (1-2 hours work session)
-
One-on-one meetings with client (1-2 hours each); 2-4 meetings per month
