Types of Coaching
Coaching for Behavioural Change
Behavioural change is an important component of organisational and executive coaching, and underlying many coaching sessions is the need to develop or improve behavioural patterns. The coaching process usually involves assisting individuals to strategically develop adaptive work behaviours and to monitor these changes over time. At Performance Strategies, we draw on and adapt a number of clinical models to meet the needs of the coaching context and to aid clients to achieve long-term behavioural change.
There are a number of ways coaching at Performance Strategies can assist in changing and developing your behaviour and help with both your personal and professional development. Contact us today to find out more.
Executive Coaching
Executives face enormous pressures and challenges in work environments that are now more complex than ever before. These sorts of individuals are no longer concerned with career advancement. Instead, they yearn for more effective ways of leading in the face of change and uncertainty. They need better ways of dealing with the stress and risks that are inherent in their executive-level positions.
The executive coaching that we offer at Performance Strategies is a challenging, yet supportive developmental process that addresses barriers to performance and provides insight into performance ‘blind spots’. We will provide your executives with personalised coaching from some of the most experienced executive coaches in Australia.
As registered psychologists, our in-depth understanding of human behaviour and evidence-based methodologies allows us to make finely-nuanced observations and recommendations. We utilise best-practice and solution-focused principles in order to structure highly-effective programs that build resilience, expand strategic thinking and enhance decision making. This process will ensure your executives possess the necessary skills needed to lead the organisation successfully into the future.
Coaching for Performance
Coaching for performance is a future focused, goal orientated program that aims to significantly improve the efficiency of you employees and align their goals with those of the organisation.
Organisations can improve the performance and outcome of their business by tapping into the powerful process of getting alignment between individual and organisational goals. Too often organisations fail to context performance goals in a way that is relevant to the individual, resulting in a low level of buy-in and ownership of outcomes.
By offering a tailored confidential performance coaching program, Performance Strategies can improve organisational outcomes through its extensive understanding and experience in the psychology of workplaces.
The important components of coaching for performance include:
A guided goal development process that includes Mastery, Autonomy, Purpose and Support.
Clear links to performance review processes and documentation.
Goal setting targets linked to organisational outcomes.
Addressing performance stumbling blocks.
Building ownership and accountability.
Agreed written areas of coaching focus with line manager.
Manager as a Coach
One of the more challenging decisions for leaders is knowing when to manage and when to coach. In order to address this issue, many organisations simply employ professional coaches to deliver executive coaching services. While this is beneficial, it can prevent leaders from ever up-skilling their own coaching ability and then spreading this coaching knowledge throughout the organisation they work for.
As a solution to this problem, we offer a program that specifically focuses on the development of coaching skills. Our Manager as Coach program is designed to provide managers with a practical coaching model and a set of core coaching techniques. Once equipped with these tools, your managers will be better able to effectively lead their work teams to a place of high-performance.
Our comprehensive approach targets the following development areas:
Core coaching skills for managers
Workplace coaching and protocols.
The role of manager as coach.
Motivating the self and others.
How to monitor performance, give feedback and ensure follow-through on agreed goals.
