Executive and Leadership Coaching
Branch Out to Reach Your Highest PotentialSM
Senior leaders, executives, and Board Members exercise supervision and oversight responsibilities while staying abreast of constant changes in industry standards and regulations. Executive and Leadership Coaching are methods to keep high-ranking individuals focused on the vision and mission of the organization, ethical performance to attain strategic objectives, productivity to increase revenue, professional development and growth for career advancement, and compliance with internal policies, regulatory developments, emerging risks, and industry trends and best practices to protect brand reputation.
As a SHRM-CP, Certified Compliance & Ethics Professional, Certified North Star Coach, Certified Culture Coach, and Certified Executive Coach, and Certified Leadership Coach, Dr. Devonish uses an emotional intelligence assessment for managers, senior leaders, and executives to learn more about their leadership competencies. This self-discovery feedback mechanism establishes a baseline from which executives and leaders can reflect on their personal characteristics, areas for growth, and domain of focus for professional development.
The Executive and Leadership Coaching EXPERIENCE
This service is designed for leaders of organizations in any sector and applies to unionized, private, international, family-owned, or public companies. Depending on the client’s objectives, this process incorporates individual assessments, coaching sessions, and workshops that can be implemented with staff members, teams, or an entire workforce. The goal of Executive and Leadership coaching is to aim higher to achieve SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound) goals, develop the ability to motivate individuals at every level within an organization, and excel as a trusted leader who inspires employee loyalty, which results in increased productivity, outstanding performance, and brand allegiance.
Defining the Scope: The scope of Executive and Leadership coaching must be sufficiently narrowed for the organization to obtain the maximum benefit from the experience. For example, this type of coaching is usually tailored to senior leaders, managers, executives, and Board Members. However, an organization may determine that new managers, transferees who are leaders, self-managed teams, leader-led teams, or managers of managers participate in individual assessments and subsequent feedback and coaching sessions. Some areas where this type of coaching is useful includes professional development, non-performance, conflict management, upskilling or reskilling, performance management, imposter syndrome, collaboration and cohesiveness, and implementation of an organization’s mission and vision. The parameters of the coaching engagement are most often agreed upon with the input of one or more of the following stakeholders: CEO, Human Resources, functional Vice President, or supervisor of the individual who participates in the coaching experience.
The Coaching Process: Executive and Leadership coaching is customized in response to the results of individual assessments, self-identified areas for development, and input from key stakeholders. The initial coaching sessions prioritize areas for growth that most benefit the individual’s professional and personal advancement. These sessions flow into a linkage phase that ensures alignment of individual objectives with team outcomes and the organization’s mission and strategic plans. Defined goals and key performance indicators (KPIs) for success are identified and evaluated in connection with the organization’s key result areas (KRAs). The higher the individual’s commitment to doing the work necessary to complete tasks and achieve milestones, the higher the likelihood of attainment of SMART goals and overall success.
