 Executive coaches can help business leaders work at their peak to develop the competencies and agility to meet new responsibilities or shifting demands of the business. These coaches are a tremendous asset to individuals and to organizations seeking to build their effectiveness and bench strength. Successful coaches need more than an understanding of business issues and operations. They also need knowledge in leadership development, organizational dynamics, personal change theory and action learning. Great executive coaches can drive individual and organizational learning to higher levels. But where do coaches go to strengthen their own abilities?
The Executive Coaching Workshop will give you the tools and frameworks to become a more effective coach. Whether you are fairly new to coaching or have extensive experience, are inside a company or an outside consultant, this program provides rigorous frameworks and broader perspectives that can make you a more valuable and trusted resource to the executives you coach. The program offers grounding in research-based insights on organizational dynamics and personal change, draws upon deep knowledge of current business practice and explores demonstrated best practices in executive coaching. You will learn more about how the role of the coach is integrated into the organizational system and how to ensure coaching results. This program will prepare you to help leaders transform their leadership approach so they can transform their organizations.
