Benefits Of Executive Coaching Bangalore

Go on a journey of self-discovery. A lot of our problems get sorted when we realize the genesis of the problem – which is really the story we have inside our heads about the problem. Sometimes you may be your own worst enemy and not know it. Coaching can help uncover this.
Set goals. Once you understand what story is enabling/disabling you, you create the space to form goals in alignment with your values. All progress begins with goals.
Development plan. It’s not enough to have a goal. One needs a realistic plan and a means of achieving it and measuring progress. Coaches can help with this.
Develop the mindset of a problem solver. Coaching helps rewrite old thought patterns and help us embrace a ‘Why not’ attitude instead of a ‘Yes, but…’ attitude.
Change your story about yourself. On the most fundamental level, coaching helps you replace the disabling stories inside you with enabling stories so that you can set the ground for long-term change.

Ultimately, a coach enables you to take accountability for your life – and your career.

How is executive coaching different from counselling or career counselling?

Counselling and Coaching are different.

A counsellor is a person who is a psychologist and has training in human behaviour and psychology. On hearing your problem, they typically advice you on how to deal with the situation. They have in their repertoire a set of situations and hence a set of advice or solutions.

Counsellors are past-focused, problem-focused and work towards emotions. They give advice and recommendations and ask questions like “Why should we change?”. Counsellors have answers, give diagnosis and treatment.

Coaching is different because, coaches believe that their clients are smart, they are resourceful and are capable of finding the solutions to their situation. It is the coaches responsibility is to ask powerful questions that can make the client think, challenge themselves and come out with the solutions of their situation. Coaches make their clients accountable for their plans and progress be it professional life or personal life.

Coaches are future-focused, solution focused, work towards outcomes, don’t give advice, ask questions like “How can we change?” They believe that the client has all the answers and hence are only assisted to find their best suited solutions.

Can executive coaching help a working professional in their career?

Yes, signing up with an executive coach can be very useful for a working professional. When one gets to middle level management or higher positions, even the best of performers begin to feel a little confused about how they can move to the next level and make an impact.

Many people need help in becoming more confidence, dealing with team, peers or the superiors, some need help with setting aggressive goals, some need help to be assertive, need help to be risk takers, or there may be a point where a person may think that they need a change or they need to get some renewed focus.

For all the above issues, signing up with a coach can help. An executive coach can help a client:

Go on a journey of self-discovery so that they can understand themselves and identify their strengths,
Create goals for themselves for the next 1 year, or 3 years or may be 5 years, whatever the client wants
This can be for personal goals, professional goals, health and finance goals
Create a plan to achieve the goal along with milestones
Identify all enabling patters and dis-enabling patterns. Install powerful habits that can help client achieve their goal whatever those may be.

In short coaching is about personal transformation to achieve greater success at the workplace, and feel more fulfilled.

I am not sure what I am upto? Should I speak to an Executive coach?

Yes. Many people start with big goals, ambitions and morals. Along the way, reality and boredom kicks in. And, for some other people, they begin to realise that they are in the wrong place, or are doing the wrong this. It may dawn to them that their aspirations are somewhere else. This realisation leads to a lot of unhappiness and dissatisfaction.

In those circumstances, it is helpful to sign with an executive coach or life foach to get more clarity on what you really wish to do. With the help of a coach, one can hash out all the options available and pick out the best course and create a plan for career transition or a personal transformation.

Personal transformation can happen due to two reasons:

You go on a journey of self-discovery with your coach, so that you can understand yourself and identify your strengths.
Through coaching, you identify all the enabling patters and dis-enabling patterns. Install powerful habits that can help you achieve your goal – whatever those may be.
If all is well, you are probably carrying the wrong story in your head. Our stories are our beliefs and thought processes. It may be a worthy exercise to spend time with a coach and let go of all disenabling stories, and develop a new positive mindset with enabling stories.
