Why use Leadership Coaching?

As an Executive, Founder or Entrepreneur, it can be challenging meeting the various demands placed on you for the performance and success of your team, clients and organisation.

Add to that, the pressures of our current world economy, health concerns, new ways of remote working and uncertainty about the future which is rapidly changing. 

Given these pressures, many organisations act proactively to provide Senior leadership development programs to align and empower leaders during these chaotic times.  Our Marquee program, The Inner Journey of Leadership, is one such avenue which provides a comprehensive leadership program for senior teams, over 6 months. 

Leaders, Founders and Entrepreneurs who commit to leadership coaching and mentoring programs experience a boost in leadership confidence, gain strategic clarity and act with more focus, boldness and determination to achieve their visions and goals.  

Goals for Leadership Coaching

Leaders can benefit from coaching support for needs such as:  

• Developing Cultural Intelligence (CQ) when moving into a regional or global role
• Developing People Leadership skills (RQ – Relationship Intelligence)
• Support during an organisation-wide transformation change process
• Improve leadership mentoring and role-modelling skills – in order to free up time to focus on more strategic and high priority activities by empowering the team
• Developing a Leadership Plan for an organisation or department – Vision, Purpose, Strategic Objectives and Tactics
• Career transition to a new role or into a new organisation
• Managing a high intensity workload and stressors with strategies that prevent burnout and maintain focus, performance and well-being

How do you choose a Leadership coach?

A starting point is to get clear on your outcomes and needs for coaching.  The list above gives some areas that could benefit you as a leader.

A second important point is to determine the general theme/s for your coaching.  Is it for more:

• Skill development to address Leadership skill gaps
• Thinking capability. For example, improving your strategic or innovative thinking
• Mindset work.  This could entail removing limiting paradigms, assumptions and beliefs that hinder your level of achievement and impact
• Vision and Purpose clarity
• Behavioural change and habit change for high performance
• Emotional mastery and Relational Leadership skills 
• Improving your holistic Intelligence as a leader (eg your RQ – Relationship Intelligence and CQ – Cultural Intelligence skills)

So go ahead and choose your theme or themes now.  You may also wish to ask a trusted colleague, advisor or mentor to share their view on which theme/s you would most benefit from developing.  Choose someone you trust and who knows your work style well.
