Executive and Business Coaching

Large organisations

Coaching in large organisations is normally conducted face-to-face. Sessions may take place at the client’s business premises, or off-site to avoid interruptions or distractions.
Sessions normally last one-and-a-half to two hours with one or two sessions per month.

There is usually an initial meeting or teleconference with the sponsor and/or the client’s line manager at the start of the coaching programme to agree the client’s needs and the focus of the work. Coaching programmes often begin with a 360º feedback process, the outcome of which is then reviewed between coach and client. Further relevant psychometric assessments may also be carried out as part of the coaching programme.

About halfway through the coaching programme there may be a review meeting or teleconference at which the client will meet with the sponsor, and/or line manager, and the coach, to ensure that progress is being made towards addressing the needs previously identified. There is usually a further three-way review meeting at the end of the coaching programme at which progress can be evaluated and outcomes assessed. The client will be encouraged to reflect on their achievements to date and to identify future development goals and a plan for achieving them with the support of their line manager or other resources.
