Executive Coaching
What Is Executive Coaching?
Different than mentoring, strategy coaching, alliance coaching, project management coaching and life coaching, executive coaching is specifically targeted towards elevating a person’s leadership capability and competency in functioning in an executive or other senior leadership role.
It is also possible that whilst on this journey a person may receive invaluable mentoring, gain clarity around their strategy, become more competent in causing collaboration with internal and external stakeholders, more effective in managing projects and become a more rounded individual. That depends on the skill and experience of the coach and the clarity of the goals that the client is committed to accomplishing.
At Hewsons that elevation in leadership capability and competency is accomplished by the application of our Authentic Leadership Development Cycle™.
Who Do We Coach?
The Hewsons Approach
We act as full partners with our clients and their organisation and aim for sustainable rather than short-term impact. Our commitment is to create long term, profound relationships with leaders.
Our focus from the first point of contact is engagement through enquiry, listening and understanding of both the person to be coached and the environment they operate in. Experience has taught us that setting up an Executive Coaching programme well and getting inside the client’s world is key to supporting them in producing powerful and sustainable outcomes through their coaching. We ensure that the person to be coached is really wanting to do so, meet in advance to get an understanding of their needs and to give them the opportunity to assess if they are comfortable with us and, if appropriate, meet with their sponsor.
Our programme is structured with a set of sessions conducted every 2 to 3 weeks. Each session has a specific outcome and introduces models and concepts that are applied to the client’s areas of focus. Assignments are set and debriefed and often include actions identified that have arisen as a result of the material covered.
The overall outcome for our coaching programme is: To give leaders direct access to authenticity, integrity, accountability and effective action.
The content of the programme is designed from our values of:
Courage: We value the courage it takes for people to confront who they are for who they could be.
Responsibility: We value responsibility as the source of a powerful life and the freedom to express oneself.
Authenticity: We value being true to oneself and being of service to others.
Integrity: We value being whole, complete and unimpaired in all areas of life.
Results: We value going beyond the predictable, delivering results that are specific, measurable and which alter futures.
