What is Coaching?

C

Coaching views both parties (client and coach) as natural, creative, resourceful and whole.Coaching does not diagnose or treat or even teach. Coaching is a peer-to-peer expert relationship. Coaching focuses on evolving and manifesting potential focused on the present and the future. Coaching is Action and Solution focused, Coaching explores positive behaviours whilst trying to understand and overcome any limiting beliefs that stand in the way of clients achieving their goals. The Coaches skills include Empathy, Level 3 Listening, Power Questions, Goal Setting, Establishing trust, Planning, Accountability, Relationship Management and Conflict Resolution

Coaches and their clients form an alliance which includes accountability and measurements for success.

Coaching

MMentoring is a relationship in which an experienced person (the mentor) assists another (the mentoree) in developing specific skills and knowledge that will enhance the less-experienced person’s professional and personal growth. A mentor usually leads by example.

Meetings between Mentors and Mentees are usually informal and unstructured and seldom include measurements for success

Mentoring TTrainers teach a particular skill or type of behaviour through practice and

instruction. They have some expert knowledge in content matter. The trainer works toward a learning objective that the trainer has set and the client

(trainee) is expected to learn that knowledge.

Training

TA therapist views their clients through a medical model and looks to diagnose

and treat mental conditions. They are the expert in the relationship. The therapist usually concerns themselves with the past history of a client and how

past events are impacting on their present situation.

Accountability is usually not part of the contracted partnership between therapist and client.

Therapy

And how does Coaching differ from Training or Mentoring or Therapy?

Who are Michelle’s Clients and how do they experience working with her?

I would like to take this opportunity to enthusiastically endorse Michelle Clarke for your executive coaching needs! Based on my personal assessment of my current knowledge, skills and abilities, I identified my coaching needs in the areas of emotional intelligence, change management, negotiation and mentoring others. Michelle conducted a 360 feedback on my personal management styles, strengths and de-railers and helped identify some common themes in my feedback results. She worked with me in developing a need based coaching program tailored to help facilitate my professional and personal development to the point of individual growth and improved performance. Over the course of several months, with focused one-on-one discussions, coaching, working through practical challenges and creating a mechanism for projects and follow-up on specific tasks, Michelle engaged with me to discuss my job and emotions in depth and guided me to a point where I was comfortable to review my interactions with my peers, leaders and direct staff and make substantive changes in how I engaged with them. She was incredibly skilled at asking the tough questions that helped me see things from different perspectives, uncovering root causes of key issues and she then held me accountable for achieving set goals. She did not give advice but rather enabled me to come up with answers. With her help I have found balance in my work and home life. I have begun to see myself more objectively and able to catch myself before going down the wrong path whilst reminding self to slow down when necessary. She has assisted in making me a more flexible leader, empowering my team and ultimately getting more from them with the improved communication style. I have a better handle on how to drive accountability with my team and empower my team members to grow beyond their current role and duties.

She is not only challenging and insightful, but also patient and understanding, with remarkable instincts and knowledge. I am confident that my leadership skills have improved as a result of my time with her.

It has been a real adventure with you. Thank you Michelle!

During our 6 month coaching process Michelle was a highlyprofessional, inspiring and committed coach. One of her great skills as a coach is in integrating her insights and alternative perspectives into the conversation, such that one hardly noticed the 'coaching'. It felt like a natural conversation.

Michelle takes on challenging issues with an empathetic, but assertive manner which proved pivotal to the success of my programme. Michelle also shared of herself such that it never felt too one-sided. Her coaching was undeniably effective.I am forever grateful for the effort Michelle put into guiding and supporting me through a challenging career shift.

What is Leadership Coaching?Leadership Coaching is a one-on-one service to leaders based on the principal that positive changes and enhanced leadership can be leveraged to filter down and enhance the entire organisation. This service is especially aimed at those individuals who have demonstrated diligence and technical excellence and hence find themselves in positions of leadership - most often, under-prepared for this new role. Companies appreciate the importance and cost-effectiveness of retaining these good people, and are committed to investing money into development programs such as Leadership and Executive Coaching.

As this is a Coaching Partnership, not a training situation, leaders can expect conversations to be exploratory and not teaching conversations. Coaching is a questions-based methodology which aims to tap into a client’s inner expertise, experience, resources and ability to access resources. Together the coach and the client determine the most critical elements for leadership conversations that lead the client closer toward their leadership goals. The following Six areas of Leadership have been identified as common across those who are looking to enhance Leadership Gravitas.

Be clear on your budget: how much time and money are you ready to invest in the process?

Decide which elements of the coaching process you would like to include

Bring any suggestions you have to our initial conversation. I am flexible and open to your ideas.

This is because the success of the coaching services can only be determined by the commitment of the participant to take action and practice what he/she has learned. We will determine the measurement of success at the start of the process and continually work toward this. When we are both committed to the process, and working toward these defined goals, the long-term returns will undoubtedly be recognised.

How will we measure the success of coaching?
