Executive and Corporate Coaching

A unique coaching process to help you make a difference and excel in the workplace

“Coaching has evolved into the mainstream fast. This is because there is a great demand in the workplace for immediate results, and coaching can help provide that. Coaching develops leaders in the context of their current jobs, without removing them from their day-to-day responsibilities.” Michael Goldberg – President of Building Blocks Consulting, USA

Why do you and your organisation need coaching?

Executive Coaching is rapidly becoming a very popular management tool because it puts the emphasis where it belongs – on you. Most people want to make a difference, but they often don’t know how. They desire optimal working relationships and are constantly striving to meet corporate expectations, but too often there is insufficient time to consider how to address issues differently.

The pressures on today’s executives are immense, and many are caught in times of unprecedented organisational change and complexity. These pressures may include focussing on bottom-line results, cost reductions, globalisation, or IT and environmental issues. Above all they are also expected to be proactive in continuing to extend and develop their own abilities and skills, as well as recognising the importance of developing the people around them. A tall order!

Coaching by Positive Horizons will help you gain new insight into the key capabilities required to achieve the desired results. The one-on-one coaching relationship encourages meaningful dialogue, helps develop new knowledge and skills, helps overcome the barriers and obstacles to effectiveness, and most importantly fast tracks personal growth. It’s almost like having a magic genie in a bottle!

How does it work?

“Coaches can help executives develop new ways to attack old problems. When efforts to change your team or your company have failed – you are frustrated or burned out – a coach can be the outside expert to help you get to the root cause and make fundamental changes.”
Vicky Gordon - CEO

Positive Horizons is here to take the burden off you by developing individual or group coaching programmes, drawing from a range of disciplines including psychology, business, leadership, communications, organisational development, counselling, sports psychology and philosophy.

Ideally, the coaching process should be a three-way partnership between the executive/employee, the coach, and the organisation, in which all involved agree on specific goals and actions. It can, however, also work for individuals who are interested in their own personal and professional development, and want to pursue coaching without their organisation having any involvement.

Coaching can help individuals or a team by:

  • clarifying objectives and goals; 
  • aligning values, goals and actions; 
  • increasing accountability; 
  • offering support and new challenges; 
  • boosting their visibility and prospects for promotion; 
  • supporting those moving to new positions with increased responsibility; 
  • identifying those with high potential and emerging leaders; 
  • defining a clear career plan; 
  • alleviating stress that is causing performance problems; 
  • helping those with personal problems affecting their work performance; 
  • helping those not performing at their optimum level or need to improve in certain areas; 
  • developing leadership abilities; 
  • keeping them focused and 
  • reinforcing changed behaviour.

A coaching programme can easily be tailored to both the individual’s and the organisation’s development needs. Programmes can often be matched to Performance Management goals and targets. In a nutshell, Executive Coaching can not only deliver results, but also prevents problems. Not only can it help integrate practical behavioural change, but it also can deepen an individual’s awareness of their unique strengths they have to facilitate improvement and change in performance.

What are the benefits?

“One of the benefits of a coach is that they aren’t tied to the organisation, your friends, or anyone else. They are tied only to you, so they support what you want and where you want to go.”
Linda Finkle - Executive Coach

By helping executives and other employees to become more proactive, they then have a range or resources and strategies to help them explore their vision, bring projects to completion, or investigate new opportunities. The coach provides you with an objective person and a true partner from outside the organisation, to help you achieve what is most meaningful in a totally confidential environment.

Some of the most obvious benefits of Positive Horizons Executive and Corporate Coaching are:

  • learning how to change attitudes and automatic thinking; 
  • increased motivation and drive; 
  • increased productivity; 
  • improved ability to delegate; 
  • mastering good communication and interpersonal skills; 
  • increasing influence; 
  • better time and priority management; 
  • reducing work-related stress; 
  • shifting negative self-image, self-confidence and self-belief and; 
  • discovering your greater purpose.
