Executive Coaching

Executive coaching provides a uniquely challenging and yet supportive working partnership that benefits the individual and the organisation in which they work. Ultimately it’s about improving performance – through developing skills, confidence and focus. The Executive Coaching Consultancy has built an impressive track record coaching leaders, directors and high potential senior executives in a wide variety of sectors. This broad industry knowledge and experience significantly enhances the coaching experience.

Our clients describe their executive coaching as “commercial, pragmatic and highly focused”. Our coaches create robust, strong and confidence-building working partnerships which are underpinned by sound coaching principles and well validated techniques.

Once a relationship based on trust and rapport is established, the ECC coach challenges thinking and assumptions to support the individual in their goal setting. Key elements of the coaching include:

  • Defining coaching objectives early on in each assignment, encompassing both short term goals and longer term aspirations. To incorporate an organisational dimension, the manager is frequently involved at the outset.
  • An important part of this process is an understanding of how the individual is working currently, as well as reflecting on their key strengths and challenges.
  • The coaching supports the individual to think creatively and develop their thinking to produce realistic and effective strategies for them and for their organisations.
  • The coach supports the individual as they pursue the achievement of their goals. The coach will focus on execution of intentions, retain emphasis on success and capture learning.
  • The format of the coaching is based on an agreed period of time or number of sessions which is determined by the client's agenda and needs.

Testimonials

“I have worked with Executive Coaching and particularly Geraldine Gallacher for several years now, as I have made progress in my professional career. It has been important to me that I ensure that I have the best support and guidance in place. Geraldine has most certainly assisted me in making sure that I get the best out of my career, she listens, draws out important thoughts and makes sure that you bring it all back together to get clarity on what you should focus on. Geraldine makes people feel comfortable so that they open up and she also provides honest feedback. She helps you focus on your strengths and how to work round any weaknesses. I have sent several people to see Geraldine over the years and can see how her input has greatly assisted and enhanced these individuals as well. It has been a real pleasure to work with Geraldine and I thank her for all her help”
