EXECUTIVE COACHING OVERVIEWSCL provides private communication coaching for executives and managers whose professional contribution and growth are limited by a skill gap, style conflict, or behavior issue.
Typical focus areas include: * Communicating with clarity, coherence, relevance, and persuasiveness * Reading and adampting to others' styles * Effectively leading and motivating others To achieve these goals, we use a simple, successful model that begins with establishing clear performance objectives and ultimately uncovers the core values, beliefs, and thinking that shape behavior. This "outcomes first" perspective distinguishes SCL's coaching methodology and allows the coaching to be positioned explicitly against a business objective. It also serves as a measurement device for the sponsor, coach, and coachee to use to evaluate progress and results at defined periods in the coaching experience. |
METHODOLOGY:
SCL draws on a wide variety of tools to help professionals understand and improve the impressions and outcomes they create in their work lives. Using sophisticated diagnostic tests, 360-degree feedback, videotayping and analysis, or simple observation and feedback, our first job is to "hold a mirror" that increases the coachee's awareness of the way others may perceive him or her. We then isolate and develop skills, techniques, and behaviors that can be directly applied to the coachee's existing or upcoming professional challenges and opportunities. The coach's role is carefully designed to provide objective advocacy for the coachee within the business context and agenda of the organization. To achieve this balance, the coach must be able to develop genuine trust and rapport with the coachee, while also appropriately engaging the sponsor's involvement and support as needed. |
