One to one performance coaching is the way for both organizations and individuals to significantly impact the bottom line.

Executive coaching is a modern day concept that synthesizes the best from psychology, business, communications, mentoring, counselling, consulting, transformation, philosophy, spirituality, finance and sports.

At the top level, coaching is the art of facilitating another's performance, learning and development. While the sports coach nurtures and moulds existing talent, the executive coach facilitates an individual's journey on the road to a dream career. In other words, they coach the individual to dream big and to achieve their dream.

Executive coaching and mentoring – what's the difference?

Coaching and mentoring use the same skills and approach but coaching is short term task-based and mentoring is a longer term relationship. Find out more about coaching and mentoring, and the difference between coaching and mentoring.

What is executive coaching?

Executive coaching is "just in time" learning – as opposed to training, which could be "just in case". If coaching is combined with training, the learning can be applied and thoroughly integrated back in the workplace.

At a coaching session, you will bring an agenda of issues or items you wish to work with and your coach will help you solve problems, establish priorities and make the most of opportunities. Your coach will challenge, offer alternatives and provide support.

The Industrial Society says: "Coaching is the art of facilitating the performance, learning and development of another."

Fortune Magazine says: "One to one performance coaching is the way for both organisations and individuals to significantly impact the bottom line."

Why executive coaching is for you

Does lack of time to get away for courses stop you from improving your own or your team's effectiveness? Do you lack a personal mentor, someone to act as a sounding board, someone to give honest and direct feedback?

If so, executive coaching by a mentor who understands corporate issues could be the solution. Here is why: coaching is concerned with people achieving results. It is on-the-job experiential learning - during the day or outside working hours. No time away, no reports, just improvement. And an opportunity to become a role model in your own organisation.

When did you last ask yourself these questions?

• What are my most important needs just now?
• What are my most important goals – have I got quality goals?
• What stops me from achieving my goals? What blocks, obstacles or challenges get in the way?

Executive coaching and mentoring help you answer these questions. Coaching at the top is cost effective and rapid – acting at the point of maximum leverage, where it can generate change and cascade behaviours through the organisation. It enables you to develop more rapidly and produce more satisfying results.

What makes executive coaching from Brefi Group so much more effective?

Because we operate within the context of the organisation – but committed to the individual – we can perform at a higher level, bringing benefits to the organisation as well as the individual. We are able to measure results against an organisation's objectives and external benchmarks such as the Institute of Directors and Management Charter Initiative competencies.

An executive coach is a confidential sounding board, a friend.
