Executive Coaching Common FAQ’s

What are the four elements of executive coaching?

The core elements of executive coaching include:

1. Self-awareness: Gaining a deeper awareness of behavioural patterns, emotional triggers and leadership philosophies in order to promote resilience and progress. By doing this allows more mindful decisions to be made, by self-awareness, which provides a foundation for determining one’s own strengths and areas that need development.

2.Setting a Goal/Goals: Creating an actionable and achievable goal or set of goals that compliment your individual aspirations with organisational results. This allows you to maintain your focus with tangible successes that drive your progress forward.

3.Real time feedback: Provides you with constructive, timely and helpful insights so you’re able to address any problems that may emerge, allowing you to successfully approach and refine your leadership approaches. This feedback is tailored towards each individual’s unique set of circumstances.

4.Accountability: By supporting you with regular check-ins and progress reports, this will help you stay dedicated to your objectives. Accountability encourages consistency, which enables you to continue growing even with setbacks.

In Depth Assessment:

Additionally, our process begins with a comprehensive and in-depth assessment. We do this to comprehend your leadership style, emotional needs and current difficulties.

We’ll then combine this with organised coaching tools and psychological evaluations. We will partner with you and help develop a customised growth plan, based on our innovative holistic models, ensuring your performance and emotional objectives are met at the same time.

What are the three basic coaching and leadership styles?

The three foundational styles in coaching leadership include:

1. Directive coaching: Coaches provide structured guidance that is used to help deal with urgent issues or develop fundamental skills, by offering a specific set of steps to help support you with methodical direction and actions to accomplish desired results.

2. Collaborative coaching: This is a partnership where strategies are jointly developed with your input being respected and valued. This method promotes engagement and gives you the confidence to take charge of your own growth and development.

3. Empowering coaching: Your coach gives you greater autonomy, which promotes self-assurance and self-reliance in making choices. This style is particularly effective for professionals who require minimal intervention but benefits from the occasional and strategic input.

Our coaches take into account your psychological needs, level of leadership, work environment and will dynamically modify these approaches to suit your needs into a customised plan through assessment. This flexible strategy allows you to receive the guidance and support required for long lasting development.

At Sentient Professional Wellbeing we have a unique way of using deep psychological frameworks, which can unlock your effectiveness and remove psychological blockers to provide improvements in your leadership.

Our executive coaching techniques will help you gain the tools you need to be “proactive” over a “reactive” in your leadership approach, however if the underlying problem goes deeper towards self-doubt or anxiety. Our exceptional team of trained professionals have the ability to help support you and address any issues earlier, so you can manage your goals.

What coaching model is best for executive coaching?

A highly effective framework for executive coaching is known as the GROW (Goal, Reality, Options, Way Forward) model.

To provide a comprehensive executive coaching experience, we use the GROW model as a foundation integrating this with our psychological insights.

We lead our clients through an in-depth and outcome-oriented process by assisting you, helping define your objectives, evaluate your situation and commitment to your goals.

Additionally our methodology explores the emotional and mental aspects that impact leadership and your effectiveness as a leader. We make sure that your growth is attainable, and sustainable in the long term, by holistically addressing underlying stressors, emotional triggers and decision-making processes.

We combine the GROW method with our psychological tools like:

Schema Therapy

Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)

Solution Focused Therapy (SFT)

And other methods which are utilised.

By combining the GROW framework with psychology, you can reliably manage challenging situations with clarity and confidence, while improving personal and professional outcomes.
