Executive Coaching Programmes

Our Coaching sessions are conducted one-on-one in a completely confidential environment where individuals gain clarity, remove often unconscious limitations and increase their self-reliance. As a result they can better play to their strengths and help others to do the same. Individuals develop critical insights, bringing a new sense of purpose and focus to their actions. It helps them clarify where they are, identify where they want to go, and create a forward plan to get there. The coaching stirs them to contribute more in the light of current and future needs.

It is also important that the sponsoring client company is involved in the executive coaching contract. To this end, Ascentia has a defined one to one coaching process with clarity on confidentiality, contracting terms and Assessment of progress.

Our Executive Coaching programmes include:

Leadership Development Coaching
Career Navigation Coaching

Leadership Development

Every organisation requires leaders: leaders who can define the direction for the company, build the processes, practices and activities that create value for the company and who can engage people and their commitment. Today’s leaders need to go beyond demanding performance; they need to be able to succeed with increasingly complex workforces, sophisticated technology, stiffer competition, faster rates of change and wider more complex relationships.

The Leadership Development Coaching programme focuses on achieving positive behavioural change in leaders, their people and their teams. It supports leaders in the transition is that they make as they progress within organisations with a focus on Effective Leadership and recognising the need to acquire new ways of managing and leading and leaving old ways behind.

Benefits

As with talent, business leaders frequently have the functional skills for success in their role as well as the energy and drive. Leadership Coaching is often effective in creating the space to reflect on leadership styles and how to engage, inspire and motivate their people and their teams to higher levels of performance. The key benefits are:

To improve leadership effectiveness which covers individual and team performance, confidence and resourcefulness
To raise the business performance – typical return on investments are in the order of 500%
To create stronger stakeholder networking and hence influence in the organisation
To support career development and transition
To build a personal leadership brand and authenticity that guides behaviours in a longer term
To retain leaders longer in the organisation
To address potential leadership derailers earlier in the career which increases effectiveness and reduces the risk of costly leadership failures.

Career Navigation

For the organisation, ensuring that individuals enhance their awareness of what is most likely to suit them and what type of role they are most likely to be successful in, is even more critical than it has been before. No one can remain for long in a role that is poorly matched to his or her abilities, attitudes and aspirations. Inevitably it will affect their performance adversely. This could have a whole series of negative impacts, internally and externally. The costs of making unnecessary changes can be avoided by increasing the quality of career-related decision making.

Career Navigation Programme

The aim of the Career Navigation Programme is for participants to understand their own individual career values, to enable them to confront career choices and decisions in a manner that is consistent with what they truly value and how they really see themselves. The programme will encourage people to think differently, to gain a fresh perspective on how they can realise their potential and to learn from their own and others’ experiences.
