What is corporate coaching?
Corporate coaching includes several specialties. All corporate coaches enrich their coaching with their specific areas of corporate expertise. Corporate coaches combine professional coaching skills with an in-depth understanding of the language, dynamics, processes and culture of organizations whether these be large companies, small businesses, public sector or non-profits.
Corporate coaching involves coaching a corporation and its key employees to move clearly and directly toward its organizational goals. A corporate coach partners with the corporate to focus on essentials such as corporate vision, mission, values, strategy, teamwork and leadership skills.
What is executive coaching?
Executive coaching is facilitative one-to-one coaching with an organization's key executives. The corporation benefits through the increased leadership skills and performance of the individual client, although there may also be a personal component as well. Results are measured against the organization's performance requirements for the individual being coached.
Executive coaching covers the complex combination of skills and human capacities that today's executives must provide:
- business acumen
- leadership and organizational skills
- communication and social skills
- analytical skills and innovative thinking
- ability to inspire trust and commitment to action
- acknowledgement and development of staff
- "presence" that allows them to work in a very large arena or overlapping arenas.
