Executive Coaching Framework

• Contracting – the Foundations of Meeting Expectations. Tripartite meeting between Sponsor, Coachee and Coach to agree objectives (possibly developed using results of assessments), confidentiality and reporting process
• Create Goals that Inspire Achievement. Following completion of an intake questionnaire, I work with the coachee to create inspiring goals in up to 3 distinct areas, generally 2 business goals with a personal goal
  as the third focus. Through active listening and intuitive questions,
  I ensure that the coachee feels motivated, rather than pushed, to achieve these goals
• Devise Strategies - the Plan for Achievement. I then spend time with the coachee to map out what needs to be in place to reach the goal, providing a sense of direction and purpose and allowing progress to be monitored throughout
• Actions – Making it Happen. During each session, the coachee designs and commits to actions between sessions vital to achieving progress towards the agreed goals. Conversations in each session focus on learning gained from delivering on those commitments and the insights generated here are what sustains the new thinking needed to achieve positive change
• Reporting Results to Sponsor. The method will have been agreed during the initial stages, and the content will include an interview with the coachee during the final coaching session to identify the business and/or financial impact the coaching has achieved, as well as a summary of the goals achieved.

When working with senior leaders in an organisation, this structure is often adjusted to meet the individual’s needs and current pressing issues, and may include coaching around a specific dilemma.
