Module 2 Coaching Leadership

Leadership is a big concern within the corporate environment. Large companies may well employ you as a coach with the sole goal of enhancing the quality of overall leadership within their organisation. As such, it is a crucial business issue for new coaches to come to terms with, and a very important section within the programme.

Your trainer will consider a wide range of leadership issues with you. How would you differentiate leaders from managers? What are some of the common issues facing corporate leaders? What are some of the typical competencies and behaviours displayed by leaders?

Coaches are sometimes brought in to business organisations to identify the leaders of the future, or work on leadership with newly appointed senior managers. As so often in coaching, the GROW model can be vital in developing those leadership skills. You will consider the transformative power of effective leadership and learn how to identify and work with leaders of many different styles.

As they are significant business people in their own right, it is useful to have a range of strategies for coaching leaders and your tutor will work with you on identifying areas for coaching with these executive clients.

Working with corporate executives on leadership is one of the most rewarding fields open to those working in the corporate environment.

  • Definitions

Module 3 Coaching Through Change

Management of complex organisations which are subject to internal change is a major corporate issue and potentially an enormously rewarding field in which to become involved. Some coaches who niche in executive coaching specialise solely in issues arising from change issues within organisations.

The "Coaching through Change" live Accelerator Event examines different models of change, and the most effective ways to coach through change situations. Overcoming resistance to change can be a significant problem within businesses. Many employees, whether comparatively junior or senior, can find change an enormous threat. Employee concern about change can become a vicious spiral, the perception sometimes being worse than the reality. There is a real danger of change leading to a demotivated workforce, which is disconnected from the organisation’s vision for the future.

The emphasis here is on the coach’s role in helping to implement positive and considered change. By bringing an understanding of the forces at play in change situations coaches can have a significant impact in improving the process of organisational change. Key aims for the companies that you will work with include the need for change to be both successful and sustainable. Typically the work you would undertake in this area would involve coaching through the reactions to change of a number of individuals, helping them to overcome resistance, the pain of change and drive into the new era where new competencies may need developing.

A great corporate coach can be an essential facilitator coaching through change during this difficult process, and the coaching through change Accelerator Event will leave you with all the necessary tools to undertake powerful coaching in this area.

Coaching through Change covers the following topics:

  • Models of change in organisations
  • Overcoming resistance to change
  • Overcoming the fear and threat represented by change
  • Change in complex organisational environments
  • Ensuring change is linked to a motivational vision of the future
  • Successful and sustainable change
  • Resilience and motivation
  • Coaching individuals and organisations through potentially stressful situations

Module 4 Coaching Towards Conflict Resolution

Conflict within organisations is a real concern on a variety of levels. It affects morale and staff turnover and both the quality and quantity of work can be reduced. In other words, conflict can have a direct effect on a company’s bottom line. The Coaching towards Conflict Resolution live training day will help you get to grips with this significant organisational issue.

You will consider typical causes of conflict, symptoms, types and aspects of conflict and then move on to think about different potential outcomes to that conflict. During this training experience you will go on to review strategies for coaching through conflict situations.

Individuals respond to conflict in a number of ways. Some become apathetic or defensive while some come out fighting. Crucially this part of the programme looks at ways of managing different levels of conflict, and how coaches can go about reducing conflict even when it is considerable and doing real harm to an organisation. Ideally you will be able to find win/win situations, allowing both sides in the conflict to move forwards positively. The work on D.I.S.C. Personality Profiling from the Life / Personal Performance Coaching Programme can be of particular value as a tool here.

The area of conflict resolution is a really challenging one both for you as a coach and for your clients but as so often in life the rewards are just as big.

Coaching towards Conflict Resolution covers the following topics:

  • The effects of conflict on organisational and individual success
  • Causes of conflict
  • Symptoms and types of conflict
  • Strategies for coaching through a conflict situation
  • Different types of individual response to conflict
  • Managing and reducing the level of conflict
  • Coaching to find win/win situations

Module 5 Effective Team Coaching

Corporate coaches are frequently brought in by large organisations to develop the skills of new or underperforming teams and to add new drive and focus to well-established and successful teams. Moving an entire team forward in the same direction can be an enormously powerful thing for an organisation. From a coaching point of view there is a real art to facilitating team coaching and substantial new skills to learn.

In order to develop teams it can be very useful to gain agreement on ground rules and a clear starting point. Your trainer will guide you through the process of defining how things are done; teams can seem to disintegrate quite quickly on being asked to explain their own work processes. Achieving consensus on that and then further consensus on moving forward can be a major breakthrough.

This Accelerator Event will also inform you on the best ways to set up team coaching, sources of interference in teams and the complexities of goal setting for larger groups of people.

It is of course crucial when working in the corporate environment to be able to demonstrate added value from the coaching you have done. To round off the Effective Team Coaching Accelerator Event you will examine the ideal way to conduct learning reviews with your client’s team members and how to measure team progress as a consequence of the coaching you have provided.

Effective Team Coaching covers the following topics:

  • The skills of team coaching
  • The art of facilitation
  • State management

  • Sources of interference in teams
  • Goal setting in teams
  • Establishing a clear starting point

  • Conducting learning reviews

Module 6 Practicalities of Corporate and Executive Coaching

The Practicalities of Corporate and Executive Coaching Accelerator Event will walk you through the demand and benefits of executive coaching. Your trainer will clearly guide you to an understanding of the role of the executive coach and provide you with some important strategies to employ when getting started.

Different organisational cultures present different types of challenges for the coach as well as those working within them. Gathering information on the client / organisation in advance of the first coaching session is both essential and wise. Being able to negotiate a robust and beneficial contract is just one possible spin-off benefit from the client research process.

Client confidentiality is an important consideration when potentially dealing with multiple stakeholders within the same organisation. It can be vital to swiftly establish criteria for measuring progress with your client. You will need to be able to demonstrate successful progress against the goals set, and in an accelerator event that is full of practical information, your trainer will suggest the best ways of measuring that progress.

Practicalities of Corporate & Executive Coaching covers the following topics:

  • The context and demand for executive coaching
  • The benefits of executive coaching
  • Organisational cultures
  • Organisational dimensions

  • Stakeholders
  • Manager as Coach
  • Negotiating contracts
