Executive Coaching

When leaders and executives are ready to achieve a step shift in their leadership or performance, effective coaching and mentoring can provide the catalyst. This may be with one individual or across a whole management or leadership group.

Blue Chip Coaching clients report significant benefits through their one-to-one coaching and mentoring. These benefits include:

• Greater clarity around their objectives and how to achieve them.
• Increased awareness of how others see them, their strengths and key development opportunities.
• Improved leadership, communication & relationship skills.
• Improved motivation for them and their team.
• Greater ability to lead and facilitate change.
• Ability to get beyond challenges and to optimise opportunities.
• Reduced stress and greater levels of resilience and work life balance.
• Increased confidence and ability to take effective action.
• Optimised thinking, attitude, and behaviour.
• New levels of performance & results on a personal and team level.

The Blue Chip coaching and mentoring programme involves:

• Assessment and Gap Analysis - Clarifying where the client is now and where they would like to be. We identify baseline data, review existing business data, and gain input from the client and selected individuals.
• Outcomes Procedure - A comprehensive process to establish compelling and measurable outcomes for the coaching and mentoring programme. This process also involves establishing timeframes and measurements for success.
• Coaching & Mentoring - Involves regular coaching sessions to work on the achievement of outcomes and any other challenges or opportunities raised by the client from time to time.
• Measurement and Feedback - The coaching engagement is completed with measurement identifying progress based on development, new behaviour and commercial results.

Our philosophies in developing coaching and mentoring programmes are as follows:

• Non Prescriptive - Each organisation and leader is unique and whilst we use a consistent methodology, within that an approach tailored to each client delivers most benefit.
• Coaching Impact - When coaching programmes are well designed, the impact can reach beyond leadership performance to team dynamics and organisational culture.
• Challenge - We appreciate that senior people require honest feedback and challenge to enable them to achieve even better results. We provide this in an objective and constructive way.
• Results Focus - We are relentlessly results focussed in our coaching & mentoring which means we ask a lot of clients in terms of the new initiatives and behaviours identified during the coaching process.

Normally a one-to-one coaching and mentoring programme incorporates two scheduled coaching sessions per month plus other contact between coach and client as required, with a typical coaching relationship lasting six months. We can identify and agree the investment required in advance.
