1.
What is executive coaching ?
This
is a co-active, confidential, highly personalized process of discovery,
learning and development for the executive. During the process of executive
coaching, it is expected that client will identify and improve those behaviors,
which will help him in the following:
a. Increase
effectiveness
b. Learn
skills to effectively deal with his current and future business needs
c. To
make better decisions
d. Increase
self-awareness
e. Increase
self-correction etc.
This
is not counseling, consulting or mentoring. The coach is also not expected to
offer expert advice. During the process of coaching the client will be made
aware of his or her strengths and also helped to use his own skills to improve
on his or her areas for organizational benefit.
