Executive Coaching Skills Development

 

Organisations are continuing to recognise that business leaders benefit greatly from the application of coaching principles to business issues and opportunities. As such, HDA is increasingly asked to deliver business coaching training for leadership teams at all levels, from senior directors to first level line managers. Training leaders to be effective coaches is a natural extension of the provision of one-to-one and group coaching.

HDA has developed an effective ‘Coaching Behaviours for Business Leaders’ programme aimed at senior line managers, executive managers, and operational Directors. This programme is comprised of a core 2-day workshop, (run on consecutive days or separated over time), plus pre and post preparation and follow up.

 

Our approach in this area

Our approach typically includes a combination of the following:

• a group-based, outcomes-focused coaching skills development session
• The opportunity for follow up face-to-face or telephonic one-to-one meetings within an agreed individual programme component, focused on specific behavioural change outcomes and outstanding gaps – usually over 3 or 6 months
• Online 360 degree reviews of individual development progress as appropriate

Core objectives of this approach:

• To equip the target audience with the knowledge and practical skills to develop and deliver business-effective and individually tailored coaching solutions for the people in their team.
• To practice new behaviours in a safe environment.

At the end of the programme delegates will be able to:

• Recognise appropriate opportunities to use coaching and mentoring as the primary tools to improve business performance and culture
• Design and construct validated coaching sessions to meet knowledge, skills and / or attitudinal gaps
• Engage their coachees in recognising and owning performance gaps and their resolution
• Adapt their personal style in coaching delivery to be appropriate to the person they are coaching and the circumstances surrounding the coaching need
