Executive Coaching For Leaders
Investing in your people with Elevate Careers
With a core belief that ‘people are what creates the magic in successful businesses’ I support leaders to grow and be aware of their impact on individuals and ultimately the overall business performance.
At Elevate our goal is to partner and support forward thinking organisations to optimise their business results by supporting the growth of their most valuable asset; their people. The key element is partnership; we will listen to your goals, be committed to the desired outcome for the individual and the business creating a clear plan and share insights from the journey together which will make a difference to your business results as the process of coaching often unlocks previously untapped sources of imagination, productivity and leadership.
Coaching is an investment both for the individual and the organisation, the very nature of coaching supports empowerment; unlocking answers to important questions and addressing concerns to optimise personal potential. When partnering with a Coach you frequently find that you already know the answers – the coaching partnership simply ‘allows you to unlock them’ and with a wealth of experience in retail Denise is focused on ensuring the individual and the business both enjoy a return on their investment!
The Elevate Executive Coaching programme is designed to support individuals’ growth in recognition of
them as Leaders for the future, supporting the development of skills, with enhanced self-awareness and exceptional leadership attributes, resulting in your senior people being well prepared for challenges of personal growth and ultimately increased accountability of contribution at a more senior level.
This programme is designed to optimise retention of your best talent as they will feel invested in and
fully engaged.
Elevate Careers Coaching Process
At Elevate we support organisations who are committed to investing in their team, with the goal of unlocking potential and developing future leaders, providing succession and growth for the individual and the business by giving them the tools and abilities to flourish in a thriving organisation .
- Executive Coaching identifies objectives for each person individually; identifying where investment or energy is required to achieve them and creating a clear action plan.
- It offers the coachee an opportunity to address limiting beliefs & behaviours; and to identify skill gaps or highlight topics to address for personal improvement.
- The Coaching relationship offers a confidential 2-way discussion with a trusted external partner
- where concerns and frustrations can be aired, discussed, and addressed in private.
As summarised superbly by The International Coaching Federation
- Coaching is defined as partnering in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires a person to maximize their personal and professional potential.
The coaching process
There are options for the the process to be either c.3 or 6 months; this depends on the goals set and timings can be extended. These will be confidential coaching sessions between the Coach and the Coachee, with a Coaching contract agreed to in advance by them which clearly outlines the personal development goals for the programme.
Each session lasts between 60- 90 minutes and we work with the coachee to identify their goals and skills, and how they are contributing to the organisation by using accredited tools which identify potential opportunities for growth.
Denise is Accredited to ILM Level 7, and a Verified Assessor for DISC psychometric testing, and additionally Licensed by Firework Coaching.
Programme Preparation
Psychometric testing:
A fundamental step in any change or growth process is to develop and improve self-awareness. In Personal Development Coaching the DISC assessment gives awareness about one’s own and others’ predilections to behave in specific ways. This information can then be used to improve interpersonal skills, manage conflict, improve relationships, and inform career choices. I will work with current psychometrics or will suggest investment.
Personal strengths:
No matter where you are in life focusing on your character strengths adds a whole new dimension. Recent research shows that when you understand and activate your positive personality traits, you become more resilient, manage stress better, and find greater fulfilment in life overall. In this programme we use the VIA Institute on Character test to identify strength’s and opportunities to raise awareness of, optimise or suggest techniques to improve characteristics.
Logistics
