Coaching Model

Our coaching approach is fully customised based on the situation, person’s or team’s development needs and the objectives of the coaching arrangements – ‘coaching needs’.

The coaching framework (presented below) provides conceptually our approach to coaching for senior and middle management, however this framework can vary.

We also offer Shadow Coaching for frontline leaders, which uses components of the framework’s coaching, however mainly focuses on onsite observation and coaching, having less diagnostics upfront.

These tailored coaching solutions are structured based on the ‘coaching needs’ as well as:

• number of people
• location
• mode (eg. face-to-face or Zoom)
• group or individual arrangements
• level of integration with a leadership development program.

Briefing

• Briefing with key personnel
• Obtain authorisation to proceed
• Obtain commitment from coachee’s manager that they will support and assist the coachee during the process.

Coachee Commitment

• Provide outline of coaching process
• Discuss coaching objectives and information gathering process
• Sign the coaching agreement
• Immediate coaching needs discussed and plan developed
