The term business coaching is often used to cover the broad spectrum of coaching within a corporate context. Below you will find the way in which I have divided the different types of coaching. My experience spans all areas of coaching, so contact me if you would like to find out how I can support you.
Business Coaching
Business coaching mainly focuses on providing support to small and medium business owners, as well as to entrepreneurs.
Organisational development, changes brought about by mergers and acquisitions as well as the need to provide key employees with personal development and support through a change of role or career are often catalysts, which inspire companies to seek coaching. Coaches might work with individuals within businesses to support them in business planning, goal setting, to increase sales, productivity and profitability.
Coaching can strenghten morale, motivation and productivity and minimise staff turnover as individuals feel appreciated and aligned with both small and large organisational changes. Individuals may be looking for a career change, but many are also seeking to fulfil their potential with an existing employer or achieve greater work/life balance.
Business Coaching can be used for someone starting a new venture, expanding an existing one or getting past a challenging growth stage. It works especially well where ‘people’ issues are present.
Corporate coaching
The focus of corporate coaching tends to be large scale organisations where management require assistance with creating vision, strategic direction, goal setting, performance, leadership, communications and handling change management, personal and professional development.
Corporate coaches will often be contracted by organisations because of their previous corporate experience (many have worked as management consultants) and tend to be preferred as they hold an objective view of the organisation
Executive coaching
The focus within executive coaching is on a senior manager or leader within the organisation. Coaches will work with an executive 1 on 1 in order to develop action orientated plans to enhance their personal effectiveness, leadership skills and styles as well as support executives with career aspirations and job requirements.
Due to the short-term nature of executive coaching, executives often feel that the confidential environment provides a safe place for discussing organisational politics and interpersonal challenges in an objective manner.
