Corporate coaching is one of the training methods conducted within an organisation. It differs from standard in-company training as it is being provided to the client continuously and is designed to enhance the results of the entire organisation.
Exemplary scheme of organisational coaching:
1. Analysis of the mission and values of the organisation
2. Establishing the long-term goals of the organisation
3. Establishing the short-term goals of the organisation
4. Prioritising the goals of the organisation
5. Providing Coaching to the top-management
6. Providing Coaching to the mid-management
7. Providing Coaching to other employees
8. Bonding the employees personal goals with the goals of the or ganisation
9. Prioritising tasks
10. Stimulating the employee’s development
The mentioned example illustrates how to improve the whole organisation, not only its single elements. Below are listed the difficulties that are being faced by organisations on a regular basis that can be addressed by corporate coaching:
1. Lack of task hierarchy
2. Lack of the bonding of the employee with the company
3. Communication difficulties
4. Potential mobbing issues
5. Potential loss of reputation
6. Failure to achieve set business goals
7. Unwanted employee rotation
8. Unsuccessful time management
9. Unsuccessful task delegation
10. Insufficient employee motivation
Please take a moment and think what problems are being faced by your company.
EXECUTIVE COACHING
Executive coaching, as opposed to corporate coaching, is designed to address the needs of an individual representative of the organisation’s top management. It is based on developing the personal personal and business skills of the manager necessary to sustain professional balance. The process is comparable to individual training of 20 to 30 coaching sessions. The continuity allows to trial and asses the new skills at work and possibly correct them through following sessions.
Possible areas that we can address through executive coaching include:
1. improvement of leadership skills
2. improvement of personal image: from appearance to PR
3. setting individual assertive goals
4. setting clear business goals
5. personal development
6. prioritising individual goals
7. improvement of work organisation
8. managing personal time
9. improving nutrition
10. improving physical abilities
11. discovering management mistakes
So how does one single person manage these numerous areas? What makes personal coaching different from regular training is that the coach’s task is to motivate the individual to constantly develop by using his practical skills in psychology that are being used in trainings on issues such as leadership, time management or team management.
Please take a moment and think in what areas do you feel the need for individual development or improvement?
