1:1 coaching is a careful and structured approach to developing an individual’s capabilities, skills and overall effectiveness depending on their needs and the desired outcome.
All development starts with (or includes at some stage) learning to self-lead which requires an open mind and a willingness to develop one’s emotional intelligence.
All 1:1 clients will first be assessed for suitability and make sure there is a good match between coach and coachee.
Once we start the coachee will be requested to complete a robust and insightful 360 Emotional Intelligence Leader Behaviour survey which requires several others’ input as well.
The feedback tool that I use and highly recommend is the LEIPA ®: LEADERSHIP & EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE PERFORMANCE ACCELERATOR.
LEIPA® provides a precise, defined plan for behavioural change, tailored to the individual’s role within your organisation. The process ensures a rounded view from both self-perception and colleagues, focusing on Emotional Intelligence and leadership styles.
Using best practice in a 360° format, LEIPA® identifies and compares the individual’s habitual leadership styles to those which will have the greatest positive impact. Specific behaviours to change, producing significant performance improvement are pinpointed, delivering a framework for action.
