Managers > Delivery Options > Executive Coaching / Mentoring

In our view the above elements can only be truly practised in a face to face environment. Therefore we do not offer ‘e-learning’. We work only on a 1:1 coaching basis or with very small groups.

Our favourite and the most effective ways of developing an individual manager is by way of a 1:1 Executive Coaching programme.

This is invariably a ‘strengths led’ process – identifying with the individual the areas of existing competence and building on those with practical work based projects to move the skill levels forward.

Where necessary we will introduce the individual to techniques he or she may not have yet encountered.

In essence this is a four stage process:

  1. Assessing (the need, the goals – of the individual)
  2. Contracting (agreeing a programme to meet the need, in line with organisational goals)
  3. Fulfilling (engaging in the programme of sessions, discussing choices, consequences, solutions)
  4. Evaluating (formally and informally)

We regularly use an ‘instrument’ as a reference point for the initial session – be it MBTI, an appraisal or a 360 degree feedback report.

Since 1999 Phil Simnett has conducted executive coaching sessions with some 150 individuals.
