Executive coaching

Executive Coaching at CSA Consulting aims to enhance both the performance and well being of the individual within their work context. Typically we focus the executive on enhancing leadership effectiveness, and developing coaching and interpersonal competencies in our clients. Our Executive Coaching is focused on the attainment of realistic yet stretching goals that are both SMART and grounded in business and personal need. Our expertise in the field of facilitating behavioural change is drawn from the fields of both clinical and organisational psychology, giving us experience and expertise in modifying and enhancing a wide range of human behaviours. Our coaching process is normally preceded by a rigorous assessment that identifies the strengths and development areas as well as forming the basis of the coaching development plan. As psychologists we have the advantage of being able to strategically use a broad range of psychometric tools (eg. Hogan Development Survey, FIRO-B & MLQ) to enhance the feedback and coaching we provide to our executive clients.

The CSA Executive Coaching Model

Coaching is usually conducted in face-to-face meetings, often at an off-site location. The frequency and regularity of coaching sessions depends on the particular needs of the client and is negotiated at the outset of the coaching process. The coaching relationship usually extends over a number of months with regular fortnightly or monthly one to two hour sessions. Our executive coaching process falls into two parts; 1.The assessment phase that rigorously identifies the strengths and development areas which forms the basis of the coaching development plan. This assessment is performed in full knowledge of the current and future business context that the individual faces. 2. The coaching phase that seeks to build skill and capability in the requisite areas in a SMART and sustainable manner. This process provides the challenge and support necessary for individuals to develop and function at their optimal level.
