Executives and managers are frequently recruited and promoted because of their technical expertise and product-knowledge. Individualized assistance in dealing with specific workplace issues and generally improving leadership skills can greatly benefit those who have not been specifically trained as people managers. Appropriate coaching, with focus on enhanced skills in communication and dealing with interpersonal relationships, maximize the effectiveness of executives and managers, thereby maximizing the corporation's human resources.

Coaching is cost-effective for any organization. Executives and managers are valuable, and enhancing their effectiveness is far more efficient than replacing them.

Communication Skills

Although executives and managers often achieve their positions partly because of their communications abilities, the demands of their roles frequently demand even greater development of their skills. Our psychologists' familiarity with research, theory and practice in communication can provide help to maximize the written and oral communications of individuals and groups in the corporate environment.

Problem-solving

Problems in the workplace often originate from interpersonal differences and conflicts.  Our psychologists are experts in evaluating the origins of such difficulties and providing solutions.  We have the tools to assess the strengths and areas of difficulty that individual leaders and team members face.  Based on our analysis, we provide appropriate individual or group leadership coaching to function more constructively and productively in the corporate environment.

Executive and Management Effectiveness

Effective leaders have confidence in their own abilities to make excellent, informed decisions, and to inspire others and influence them positively.

Executive Assessment provides information about the most important skills for further development:

  • intellectual skills that enable effective planning through the gathering of appropriate information, clarifying ambiguity, and understanding the future consequences of circumstances and decisions;
  • understanding how to work most effectively with the needs and functions of the organization;
  • the emotional skills for understanding people and how to influence them effectively; how to make the best use of others' strengths and address their relative weaknesses in ways that motivate them;
  • developing and using personal confidence as a means to break through barriers, to lead others, and to ensure that decisions are acted upon.

Executive Coaching provides an individualized opportunity for executives and managers to analyse their roles and functioning and to receive input to develop the skills most needed to succeed in a challenging environment.
