Executive Coaching
EXECUTIVE COACHING
What is executive coaching?
“Executive coaching is the art and science of facilitating a structured process that is designed and customized to meet the growth needs and the current reality of an executive, to enable movement towards a desired state through unlocking possibilities that were not previously considered” – Helga Landis.
Our approach to the coaching process
We start from the premise that people are not broken, they work perfectly well. They have all the resources they need; they just need to access, strengthen, and sequence them. Mind-body are part of the same system and influence each other. We can model excellence, and some genius, if we break the tasks and skills into small enough chunks.
We always maintain that: It is always better to have choice, our map is never our territory and we all respond to our map of reality, not reality itself.
We hold fast to the belief that there is no failure, only feedback, and that behind every behaviour is a positive intention.
For this reason, our coaching programmes are designed from a holistic point of view, bringing all of the executive’s strength, talents, experiences and previous learning into the process. Our approach is based on an inclusive model that values intuition, analysis and an action orientated approach. We believe that whilst results are important, so are relationships so we treat them as sacred. We also advocate the ability to be adept at multiple leadership styles that include both backbone and heart.
As such, we include Transformational Coaching in all our coaching assignments with the key aim to create enduring and lasting change and that integrates with mind, body, psyche and soul. We have learned that focusing on single orientation towards personal growth yields often inauthentic outcomes, whilst an integrative approach that starts with heart and ends with pure and consistent application of the transformed thought processes encompass and impact positively all previous conditioning, experiences and belief systems. In short, we retrain the brain through a process of interactive modelling whilst harnessing an individual’s inner authority.
We thus develop executives that are whole, fulfilled and self-aware individuals who not only bring to bear their purpose, passion, talents and expertise in their work and in the businesses they serve, but people with an ability to self-regulate, self-enthuse and act with courage, conviction and clarity.
Essentially, these are the individuals that transform organisations from bleak to brilliant. Their resounding impact are found in boardrooms, classrooms and corridors. These are the transformational agents that through personal authentication and self-actualisation change the organisational fabric to solidly embed the Saraswati 6 Pillars of Genius.
How much does the Executive Coaching Programme cost?
This is dependent on seniority of the coach and the coachee, the number of sessions purchased, and whether a long-term retainer is put in place. However, the price for an individual session ranges from R2,750.00 – R6,000.00 per session
