Executive coaching is more than just a series of nice, but unconnected, conversations, says Peter Stewart. “It’s a development process with real teeth and traction in it” to help leaders meet goals.
In this episode, Peter and Daniel demystify the coaching process with a look at their five-step approach to coaching. This approach identifies clear objectives, sets measurable and time-bound goals, and integrates feedback to help leaders course correct as they progress.
Anyone can benefit from a coaching engagement. “It is not about the coach,” says Daniel. “It is about what you need, and for you to be confident and comfortable to be a self-advocate for your own development.”
Tune in to learn:
- The most common objectives leaders have when working with a coach
- The value of feedback in coaching
- The one thing you should know to optimize your coaching experience
Plus, insights from Gallup on the relationship between feedback and employee engagement, and a flashback to the struggles of owning a home sprinkler system.
