Corporate Coaching
The corporate and business environments place a range of demands and
expectations on their leaders - the entrepreneur, the executive, and
the manager. There is an ever-increasing push to adapt to change and
to get to grips with the challenges of complexity within
organisations. There is also the pressing need to engage in systemic
thinking, the idea that businesses fundamentally operate and depend on
inter-relatedness.
Rather than seeing organisations as objective, transparent and
entirely predictable and controllable in all respects, a more
realistic approach is to recognise and work authentically with the
core phenomena of organisational dynamics, namely, uncertainty,
building and maintaining open and trusting relationships, and a
willingness to engage in continuous, creative self-reorganisation.
Organisational life requires us to be adaptable and amenable to
change, and to embrace our own transformations, so that our actions
and behaviours are in step with the changes in the environment in
which we engage with others.
Coaching for change is to move from one position to another, with
potential being fulfilled/ realised. Coaching for transformation,
however, is to move from one way of being to another, and with
potential being continually expressed in completing one project and
beginning another.
Our Existential coaching approach addresses the human element in
organisational processes, through:
- Language and Communication
- Meaningfulness and Motivation
- Patterns and Tensions
Performance improvement rests significantly on the conversational
agreements made between individuals, both in terms of making and also
keeping to commitments made between all parties. Such conversations
coordinate actions, since it is through language that actions occur,
and the role of managers is to coordinate these coordinations of
action.
We also possess a human need to generate meaning in all our actions
and endeavours, which comes from our desire to overcome that
unavoidable aspect of being human - uncertainty. Meaningful engagement
with goals and direction brings a mood of positive purpose and
significance, of belonging, and motivation to contribute to the
organisational process.
Having predictable patterns and structures in our work is a
positive, supportive way of ensuring that we must act with a sense of
commitment, since our actions are driven by our values and beliefs.
However, whilst our values can provide us with a firm ground and
reassurance from which to act, they can also sediment or constrict us,
denying us a more flexible and adaptable attitude to other possible
actions.
Our corporate coaching supports individuals to:
- Raise self-awareness and understanding
- Improve and develop working relationships with
others
- Develop and widen their perspectives on problems and
issues
- Generate and opt for more powerful choices available
to them
- Deepen and strengthen leadership styles
- Broaden effective managerial approaches
We deliver extraordinary results to our clients, both from an
economic and personal perspective. Our coaching approach addresses
pressing, immediate issues and concerns as well as anticipated
challenges in the future. > Contact us about
