What's your level of emotional intelligence?
These are key questions for leaders.

Executive Coaching

Executive Coaching is about bringing out the best in people and conveying them from where they are now to where they want to be. It is a highly personalised learning process that is tailored to the learner's knowledge base, learning style and pace. It raises self-awareness, uncovers blind spots and enables the executive to accomplish more than otherwise he or she would have.

Personal

Coaching helps to create alignment between your work life and the rest of your life. Use coaching to reflect on how well you balance doing and being.
Many people live a life of discontent waiting for things to change so they can live the life of their dreams. Usually however life is what goes on while you're waiting for things to change. Don't live your life in the gap between where you are and where you want to be.
Use coaching to create a clear vision of your future while living in the now.

Outplacement and career transition

A lot of the standard outplacement offerings in the market are heavily focused on 'outer game' issues such as CV preparation, interview techniques and such. I believe that the outplacement process needs to go a lot deeper than this. This comes from my own experience with career change, career transition and the experience of exiting the corporate world and the challenges all of these present.

The most significant issues for people in these situations are 'inner game' issues such as handling the grieving process, dealing with resistance, finding meaning and strength finding. While these issues may not readily be apparent and in some cases not even understood, this is where the support of a good executive coach is invaluable.

Performance Coaching

It's not how good you are it's how good you want to be! Gandhi once said 'the difference between what we do and what we have the potential to do could solve most of the worlds problems'. So what holds us back from reaching our potential? Usually fear and self-doubt. Use performance coaching to explore and resolve these issues whether at work or on the sports filed Coaching for Performance works.
