With Business or executive coaching, it is a well know fact, that anyone wishing to enhance their own and their team’s performance, get better results, or up their “game”, can achieve results far faster with proven process and expert High Performance executive/leadership team coaching.

Our High Performance Business coaches’ goals are to help clients to rapidly achieve mental and emotional awareness, and enhance professional effectiveness, and personal satisfaction, by clarifying, awakening, guiding and supporting, them towards creating a conscious, and intentional, healthy integration of lifestyle, values, workload choices and drive for results.

Management and Executive coaching plans are custom-designed based on each client’s specific needs, circumstances and goals.

We work closely with the client and stakeholders to map out a personalized strategy for successful professional and personal development, that adds value to the client personally as well as the organisation.

The REVOLUTIONARY WORKPLACE High Performance Leadership Coaching has a philosophy founded on 4 potent and effective approaches:

  • AI (Appreciative Inquiry) coaching – Positive approachMindset Matters In Business Coaching And Facilitating Team Building Events
  • AQ (Resilience)/ Mindset coaching – Self Mastery & Psychological Capital Development
  • AdaptAgility Behavioral Coaching – Self awareness & Mindfulness
  • REVOLUTIONARY WORKPLACE LIMITLESS Leadership system

Executive Coaching Approach Includes Potent High Performance Development Action Steps:

 

1. Awareness:

It is through info gathering, discovering how performance links to your business goals. Identifying areas of growth as well as developing higher levels of Awareness, Esteem, Self-Management, and Confidence.

With business coaching, we help clients understand the ways that the roles they have learned to play, and the ways they have learned to respond to challenges in their lives, may impact their responses under pressure on the job and off the job.

2. Analysis:

Through assessment, analysis and feedback we explore what’s required to close the gaps in capability, capacity, commitment and results.

3. Explore:

Discover and explore most feasible, and effective solutions to challenges, and ways of Being, that provide least effort, maximum leverage and desired results, with sustainability.

4. Emotional ownership:

Clear strategic thinking is a core need for creating high performance results. We’re aware that many people shut down their ability to think clearly.

They struggle to make smart decisions, under higher pressures. 

Our AQ coaching process helps clients with learning to uncover the ways that their habitual reactions to stress can work for them or against them.

5. Action:

The SWIFT Action coaching approach / system provides the bridge between the person’s inner process and outer achievement.

It’s necessary to help clients in attaining their goals. We plan and implement well-defined action steps, informed by regular feedback, and monitoring, of progress.

The Coachee moves toward identified and measurable outcomes.

6. Accountability:

We work with clients to define the most effective tools and processes for achieving results. We ask for follow-up emails with action items after each session.

We act as a cheerleader and acknowledge progress, as well as holding the client accountable for delivering upon agreed items.

7. Achievement:

Our approach helps clients understand that it’s the conversations they have with themselves that impact everything.

This ranges from from the confidence they project to the creativity they are able to muster when dealing with day to day challenges.

An ongoing evaluation of the coaching progress and coaching impact, provides regular measures of business results and professional outcomes for the coachee and all stakeholders.


Celebration Matters

Celebrating of each step of success along the way supports further commitment and increased participation to the coaching and development process.

At Life Masters we believe that each individual is naturally creative, resourceful and whole. Nothing is broken or needs “fixing”.

We believe that the client is ultimately in charge of guiding the coaching relationship. 

As a coach we accelerate and focus the process of clarifying, chunking and actions.

We can provide suggestions, and options through executive and business coaching, as to what might work best, and where to begin, and challenge client’s possible choices, but the client must be willing to take charge, to make decisions and choices, and ask for what they want.

We believe that the client has the potential, capacity, ability, passion and drive to succeed in anything they choose to be, do and have in their life.

Therefore our primary role is to provide the unbiased, confidential sounding-board, and probing questions, that will assist them in unlocking their own wisdom, enable them to discover their strengths, and to collaborate to create strategies for action that will fit best with who they are and what they intend to achieve.

As the Executive coach, we never take over responsibility by acting as an expert authority, or by telling the client what they should or should not do.

We make every effort in our executive business coaching to support the client in intelligently considering the implications of their possible actions and decisions, so that success may generate continued vitality, prosperity and desired results, not only for themselves, but for others as well.

Our REVOLUTIONARY WORKPLACE High Performance coaching intention is to accelerate a client’s awareness, growth,  and achievement, of sustainable results,  within a context of realistic viable work / life balance. 

All interactions and communication are strictly private and confidential.

Executive Coaching & High Performance Business Methodology

We start with initial face to face meetings with the business sponsor and client.

The sponsor meeting is to gain insight, understanding and match expectations of the coaching process.

A meeting may be held with direct reports to discover and explore avenues of possibility and existing challenges.

The initial Coach and Coachee meeting is held face-to-face to ensure a complementary and harmonizing relationship fit.

Thereafter we agree on a balance of either, telephonic, and/or face to face encounters. These are in accordance with each coachees’ specific work needs and time constraints. 

This may be a blend of weekly, bi-monthly, multiple sessions per week etc. We are flexible and collaborate very closely with each coachee to achieve their’ desired outcomes.

In between sessions we are on hand for brief tele-coaching, email interactions, homework feedback, “scores” and breakthroughs.

 

Executive Coaching Outcomes & Results.

The core intended outcomes are matched from the initial meetings an discussions with the sponsor and the coachee. 

Although this is the core focus of our coaching engagement, we find that often there are other improvements and results that add immense value to the entire coaching process and results.

Usual outcomes, over and above initial goals, include improved self-awareness, enhanced resilience and self–confidence, clearer goals and action plans and a more motivated/inspired coachee.

As problems, possibilities and solutions exist in the eye of the beholder, through the ontological business coaching aspect the coachee will have greater awareness and understanding of the 3 main areas of ontological business coaching, being those of language, emotions, and body, and an understanding of how these impact perspectives, possibilities and their behaviours.

In order to systematically close the gap between expected/required and current performance, our management coaching processing is aligned with the ISPI (International Society for Performance Improvement) model.

The Coaching Engagement Duration

 Typical business coaching interventions are initiated for a 90-120 day period with 60-90 day extensions thereafter. The final duration depends upon the outcomes targeted and actually achieved.

Some interventions may continue over many months to years based upon the clients’ specific needs and value received. To do any meaningful change – it really does take a little longer than 90 days.
