What Is Coaching?

There are many coaching providers in the marketplace.  People Vision subscribe to the CIPD’s definition of coaching:

It focuses on current and future performance/behavior and skill base.

  • It is used to address a wide range of issues.  Personal issues may be discussed, but the emphasis is on performance at work.
  • It provides people with feedback on both their strengths and weaknesses.
  • It is time-bounded.
  • Coaching activities have both organizational and individual goals.

In a 2006 CIPD Learning and Development report it suggests that 79% of respondent organisations use coaching activates. We believe this demonstrates the value that coaching brings to an organization.

In our experience, the key themes that emerge during executive coaching are:

  • Team cohesion
  • Changing behaviours
  • Raising profiles and Influencing a power base
  • Goal setting
  • Cultural differences

What are the Benefits of Coaching?

Executive Coaching is relevant and beneficial at several points in an employee’s working life:

Induction into a new organization

  • Promotion into a new role
  • When performance has come to a plateau
  • Preparation and grooming for a new role
  • Enhancing employee talent
