Coaching the whole individual
Our approach to coaching executives, professionals and teams – ‘Whole Individual Coaching’ - involves working with the whole person - their strengths, ambitions, potential, responsibilities and health goals - as they work out how to achieve the life and success they want.
After all, we can’t chop our lives neatly into segments - work and personal life overlap and influence each other.
It is a form of professional development that involves providing a space for your to consider all the issues, aspirations and motivations which might influence the choices you make.
Coaching the whole person
Executive coaching is a form of management, leadership and executive development designed to assist people in achieving their professional goals and realise their full potential.
In ‘Whole Human Coaching’, health, wellbeing, managing stress and work-life balance are also topics for exploration.
After all, being in a good state of physical and mental health is not only critical to your ability to perform at your best at work – it’s essential for living a happy, fulfilling life.
When coached using the Whole Human method, you are likely to consider what goals you have which are:
- Above the line - your professional goals such as promotion, developing your leadership, building a high-performing team, or creating better relationships with your stakeholders
- Below the line - the things which affect your health, physical and mental wellbeing and confidence, as well as how you balance the demands you have in and outside the workplace
What can an Executive Coach help with?
The topics clients bring to executive coaching relate principally to the workplace and may include adapting to (or preparing for) a new role or promotion, developing leadership skills, career development planning, building a high-performing team, and developing strategies for professional development.
Many leaders work with their executive coach on their personal impact and presence, examining how they can create the right impression to influence and collaborate with others more effectively.
You might also consider how best to be an impactful leader, developing your leadership or management style - one which draws on best practices, enables you to influence - and is authentically your own.
Whole Individual Coaching can involve supporting you in considering what it really means to live a fulfilling, happy life - according to your personal definitions of success and happiness.
While coaching should not be confused with training, it can contribute to the identification of skill gaps and create an opportunity for clients to develop their skills and competencies.
