Executive Coaching
Coaching for executives is available from Dr Michael Carroll, delivered in his offices in Western Super Mare and worldwide, using Skype.
If you are interested in this service, would you please send an email to Michael (contact details are here).
Please outline the sort of coaching arrangement you are interested in, with a brief resume of your current role and key challenges. Attaching an existing CV is always very helpful. Michael will respond and arrange a telephone call to discuss things further.
Key aspects of Coaching
- Focuses on the present and the future (goals)
- Emphasises performance and visible results
- Builds on strengths (there is no remedial coaching)
- Developmental – maximising potential
- Connects to work (unless it is life coaching)
- Uses the practice and feedback format
- Uses experience as the main focus of learning (coaches are facilitators of experiential learning)
- Only uses the “Why?” question when it has to.
Help and guidance on choosing a Coach
Many a coaching arrangement has faltered, because the coachee had little training in how to make the best use of this wonderful opportunity.
Michael Carroll wrote the definitive book on how to be an executive coachee. It's called
‘Becoming an Executive Coachee’. It’s an extraordinarily helpful, practical guide that enables executives to get the most from their coaching arrangement.
We have plucked out some items that might be helpful for you at this point such as 'choosing the right coach'; 'interviewing a prospective coach' and 'profile of a good executive coach' - plus the formal 'definition of executive coaching' -- just click here!
