EXECUTIVE COACHING

Coaching Process

Coaching occurs through a series of ongoing conversations and focuses on meeting specific future goals. To begin the process, a coach will conduct in-person interviews to gather information relevant to the coaching process, and may also incorporate a 360-degree assessment and feedback process as needed. All SRC coaches work through three distinct phases:

• Discovery is the phase where the general context for the conversation unfolds. The leader and coach agree on the parameters, desired outcomes, gaps to close and how to gather feedback.

• Development is the most complex of the three phases. In a collaborative fashion, SRC coaches use a cycle of awareness building, reframing, taking action and evaluating until the identified gaps narrow significantly or close completely.

• Delivery is the phase that solidifies long-term sustainable results. The leader and coach focus on creating a follow-up plan to firmly establish achieved outcomes well after the coaching relationship is concluded.
