High Potential Coaching Approach

If you wish to find out more about any aspect of the model, please click on the area where you will find a further brief explanation of what is covered in this approach. The model and approach is not applied in any specific order and is not indicative of how it is used.

The economic
rewards of
purpose
Executives who are purpose-driven, make a greater impact.

Finding purpose is not an end in itself - I assist my clients to find that which drives them and align their purpose for best effect to the profitability
of their company.
Emboldening
through
strengthening
strengths
Knowing your strengths, what you do well, empowers you to increase the rate of your success.

I have found that by focusing on the positive - the client’s talents, character strengths and what makes them unique has a deeply validating effect. This approach provides a springboard from which the need to develop other areas naturally flows.

My focus is on solutions, not problems.
The positive
effects of a
positive attitude
I draw on credible research on increasing contentment and attitude - reinforced by my own experience gained from working with executives on a programme we developed on “How to Thrive in The Workplace”.

Adopting these positive practices has significant impact - with changes in happiness and attitude and the effect that this positivity has on others. Most importantly I have seen how it impacts productivity and success!
Our astonishing
growth potential
In my coaching sessions, I have seen determined people develop new habits and behaviours that have impacted positively on them and their company.

Neurogenesis, has proven that anyone can develop specific areas of their brain - with new dendrites emerging after just an hour of stimulation.

I assist my clients to physically hardwire new habits and behaviours through repeated activity and practice.
The energising
effect of
seeing progress
Extensive research has found that making progress with work is what energises and motivates people most - more so than incentives, support or clear goals.

Together with my client we measure the results of new actions taken which enables them to evaluate the progress they are making professionally. This ongoing measurement of progress has an energising effect and produces long-lasting motivation.
The power
of clarity
Clarity is critical at the executive level – I see how it directs the attention and marshals the actions of others - how a lack of clarity confuses people, wastes effort and squanders opportunity.

I help executives gain ever greater clarity. We use processes and criteria to separate the essentials from the non-essentials, to prioritise, so that my clients make a higher contribution towards the things that really matter.
Stepping up to
the abilities
critical to success
I use a proprietary tool of competencies, based on Stratified Systems Thinking. This theory has been developed at 5+ levels to help identify a person’s current level of functioning and what expertise they need at the next level.

This tool provides us with a common language to identify the business competencies/abilities, critical to achievement and growth and success.
Action through revisiting assumptions and personal perspectives
Clients may have a limiting perspective or belief that inhibits their ability to achieve their goals.

Challenging and questioning personal assumptions can help my clients gain a totally different perspective and help overcome the perceptions that block them from acting.

This process of reframing liberates thinking and opens new
possibilities for action.
Accelerated
growth through
reflection
The growth process begins with insights or new ideas, which are translated
into actions.

These actions are then reviewed, and evaluated for what can be improved.

Through an active reflection approach – from insight, into action, to review, and evaluation, this is a powerful way to incrementally increase learning
and growth.
