Leadership Development Training and Executive Coaching
Leadership development training and Executive Coaching helps people to develop better knowledge of themselves along with effective communication skills in order that they can motivate and inspire the people who follow them.
Successful leaders are all different but similar in many ways, and what drives their success is anability to be adaptive and resilient to different situations.
We all know that good leaders get results, but how? At Inspiring Potential, we believe leaders get results by:
-
Communicating a sense of mission and vision
-
Motivating others
-
Providing a platform for people to achieve results
-
Being authentic and generating trust and optimism
-
Developing other leaders
These are key competencies for leaders, and as a leader you may have natural ability to achieve some and may need to learn and develop others to achieve the results you want.
At Inspiring Potential we employ coaches and trainers who have experienced the sharp end of corporate life first hand. We are therefore well equipped to understand the issues and contexts that executives may be faced with. Through our tailored leadership development training or executive coaching programmes we can provide specialised help in the following ways:
- Supporting the transition of an executive into a new role
- Developing emotional intelligence to enhance leadership and management skills
- Coaching an executive that needs motivation and direction
- Helping employees to overcome limiting beliefs and behaviours
- Empowering team managers to use a 'coaching style' when dealing with their own staff
We believe that success comes from focusing on the business needs of the company as well as the needs of the individuals. We therefore seek to achieve this outcome when we agree an Executive Development programme with an employer.
Self Awareness
The key to developing employees at any level in an organisation is to help them understand more about their thoughts, emotions and behaviours. In other words, building self awareness.
Unwanted behaviours can cover a whole range of things. For example it could mean; bad time management, being disorganised, not completing projects, being aggressive towards colleagues, not knowing when to say 'no' or being too shy.
Many employees are unaware of their weak spots and are surprised by the feedback that they may receive on a 360 degree feedback report. Others are well aware of their weaknesses but will claim 'that's just the way I am, there's nothing I can do about it'. In either case a focused conversation (for example in a coaching session) would help the individual to better understand the true motivations behind their behaviour and bring about the desired changes.
For example, a person may discover that the real reason they are aggressive is that they are seeking respect. The conversation might then explore alternative ways of gaining respect that don't cause conflict or hurt to colleagues. The individual would be encouraged to 'try out' the preferred alternative and report back their progress in the next session. This is an example of how an Inspiring Potential coach might make a real difference to your organisation.
Our executive coaching and leadership development training is available for clients in London, UK, Europe and the USA.
