Types of Coaching for Change
Executives Managing Change - Executive coaching for senior managers and executives improves the performance of the most influential people within the organisation, leading to change and improved business results.
Fast-Track Stars – stepping up to deliver the future: Coaching activities here are aimed at changing and enhancing an individual’s performance in their current role at work. The specific issues covered by the coaching will vary, but the aim will always be to increase their effectiveness and productivity at work.
Individual Change Management: This form of coaching focuses on the core skills an employee needs to perform in their role. Often employed as star performers who seek to maximise their potential, skills coaching provides a flexible, adaptive, ‘just-in-time’ approach to ‘stepping up’ and developing skills. Coaching programmes are tailored specifically to the individual and are generally focused on achieving a number of changes that are linked to the needs of the organisation.
Coaching activities can also focus on the individual’s career potential, with the coach eliciting and using feedback on the individual’s capabilities as part of a discussion of change and career options. The process leads to increased clarity, personal change and forward action.
Sample sessions are available and Pervue are happy to organise this as appropriate.
Coaching interventions are relatively short-term, lasting approximately 12 weeks, but some executive coaching programmes can last for a year or more. |

| Typical Coaching Structure: |
|
|
One 30 minute free session (a ‘taster’ session to ensure a good match) |
|
One 2 hour session (the intake session) |
|
Four 1 hourly sessions on a fortnightly basis |
|
Two 1 hourly sessions on a monthly basis |
|
A check-up session, with the option of reverting to further sessions if the need arises |
|
| He coaching sessions themselves should be frequent enough for momentum on the development plan to be maintained, but should also allow the individual enough time to undertake any agreed activities and to reflect on the previous session. |
