Executive Coaching

What is it, and why do your Leaders need it?

Executive Coaching from ASK Europe

Of all our Programmes we get the best feedback from our Executive Coaching clients. They speak of impactful insights, of powerful guidance and support, and – best of all – lasting, significant change in their working lives.

 

So what exactly is Executive Coaching…?

 

Great Executive Coaching pairs the expertise of high-level psychology with savvy business acumen: our Executive Coaching process looks at who you are, how you think, how you communicate, your strengths and weaknesses as a Leader, and brings all of this insight into a powerful process of growth and direction, for your current and future career.

 

When Executive Coaching is done well (which ours is…) it doesn’t only benefits the coachee – it also benefits their entire team, their organisation as a whole, and even their relationships and actions outside of their work.

Who is Executive Coaching for?

 

You may think that Executive Coaching is only for the uppermost echelon of your organisation – but, with more than 30 years in the L&D game, we can say with authority that Executive Coaching is a fantastic investment for any business professional. No matter where you are in your career, investing time and focus into a programme of Executive Coaching, tailored specifically around your individual goals and skills, enables growth and development  in your work, and in the way you work with and lead others.

Executive Coaching will make you a better, bolder, more successful leader – and if you are working towards leadership, executive coaching will give you the best tools and skills to achieve that goal.

What is Executive Coaching?

 

Done well, Executive Coaching is a relationship; your coach is there to champion, support, educate and guide you to achieve your full potential. Clients working with our coaches tend to be highly driven, motivated and career minded – and find that coaching gives them access to a deeper understanding of themselves. Not only to identify and work towards career goals, but to build better relationships in and out of work, to explore a deeper kind of introspection, and ultimately to identify and develop the high-level skills that impactful leadership requires. 

 

Do I have to be a business leader to benefit from executive coaching?

 

No!

We know that great Coaching is an incredible tool for leaders and managers – but we tailor your Coaching Programme to you, no matter where you are in your career, and what you are working towards.

 

Is executive coaching one-to-one or for whole teams?

 

We can do both!

Our  programmes (whether it’s Executive Coaching or any of our other solutions) are designed around your needs – so if you are an individual looking to develop new skills, to build a more successful career, or feeling like you’re stuck, we can help you to identify, pursue and achieve your goals.

Equally, Executive Coaching programmes can be built for team development, helping your Leaders and the teams they lead to overcome challenges, to manage and progress through significant change, to navigate mergers, to challenge or improve the culture in your organisation, or simply to give your employees the skills and tools they need to perform better, communicate more effectively, and streamline the way you work.

We know that our Executive Coaching process has a positive and long-lasting impact on people; the process can be very challenging, bringing deep introspection and self-reflection – and that kind of insight in to how we think and communicate can be challenging…but the impact throughout and following the programme can be career – and life – changing.

Executive Coaching brings lasting, impactful change

Executive Coaching from experts

What does executive coaching involve?

 

Whether it’s one-to-one or as a team the process is tailored to your unique needs – but will not only involve active coaching sessions. Each programme also includes teaching, facilitation, new ways of thinking, communication, honesty, psychology and an ongoing assessment of where you are, where you want to be, and what progress you are making.

All coaching requires feedback – from you, from your coach, from your peers, your leaders and those you lead. Identifying areas for improvement gives Executive Coaching access to your strengths and weaknesses, and to how you are viewed by others; you know what your own goals are, and the process helps you to understand how you are viewed by others, how your behaviour and actions impact them, and might give insight into aspects of your development that you hadn’t considered.

Executive coaching has a positive impact on your confidence, your communication, your planning and choices, the actions you take, and how you embody who you are, embrace your strengths, and overcome your challenges.

We know, from feedback from our Coaching clients, that the long-term impact on coachees is significant; executive coaching has brought these clients better staff retention, improved workplace culture, business growth, sustainable relationships, happier, more confident leaders, and job satisfaction to entire workforces.

Statistics show that Executive Coaching is, by significant margins, the most impactful resource you can invest in for business success; a recent study found that 77% of executive coaching coachees found improvements in at least 1 of the 9 key business metrics. Of these, the biggest improvement was in employee satisfaction, with an incredible 788% return on investment.

The study went on to conclude that, overall, a 529% ROI was delivered. (Executive Briefing: Case Study on the ROI of Executive Coaching, Merrill C. Anderson, Ph.D., MetrixGlobal, LLC.

Executive Coaching

Executive coaching is a powerful way to enable leaders to achieve their potential, and overcome any barriers to success. Our varied coaching programmes can be delivered as part of a wider development programme, or as a stand-alone activity.

Here at ASK we don’t subscribe to any one coaching philosophy, psychology or methodology. Instead, we see coaching as a business-led process and our first step is diagnosis – and then we work alongside the coachee to tailor a bespoke prescription of training designed to meet your specific needs, ensuring that the individual and their organisation benefit from the most effective outcome.

Our executive coaching can be an integral part of a wider organisational situation or on a 1:1 basis for executives, for teams or for groups, including cross-divisional coaching networks to address development needs in association with 360-degree feedback, as part of a framework agreement with an organisation, allowing staff to receive coaching as they require, or as part of a programme for learning transfer following a formal intervention.

Whichever route to coaching you choose, our role is to support your individuals to identify the underlying causes of any difficulties, distress, miscommunication or under-performance, and then to help those we are coaching to move to a more rewarding, effective and impactful position, adjusting their approach and behaviour, and to better leadership methods.

We carefully match our highly qualified and experienced coaches to the specific needs of the client, and create a confidential, safe and disciplined thinking space which allows coachees to explore the key issues they face and achieve their full potential.
