What is it?

Executive Coaching is a positive, proactive, one to one professional relationship with the purpose of developing exceptional managers. It has been defined as the business equivalent of sports coaching, as one to one training, and as positive counselling. It is all those things. From new managers to the most experienced senior executives, everyone we have worked with has reported how much they have valued the experience — new learning, tailored to their specific work situation, which is stimulating, fun, challenging, and very supportive.
Leadership development is the focus of all consultants at Moreton Executive Coaching Pty Ltd. The content and processes of our executive coaching programs are research based. We are also conducting research into Executive Coaching for Conscious Leadership. See Our Model and Testimonials and Links.

Benefits

EXECUTIVE STAFF particularly value the opportunity to "brain-dump" in a confidential, secure environment, if possible outside their workplace and to receive candid feedback, independent perspectives, fresh ideas, and high-level expertise about human behaviour. By brainstorming everything ranging from visionary ideas to practical day-to-day matters — such as announcing strategic changes, dealing with workplace conflict, giving and receiving tough feedback and rehearsing major business negotiations — executive staff renew their passion for the workplace. They find it stimulating, nurturing and enjoyable.
MANAGERS doing ECL1 & 2 value skills development, tailored to their particular situation, which is experiential and relevant and meaningful.

• The skills managers choose may include developing business and marketing plans, making decisions, delegating, empowerment and accountability, strategic planning, dealing with difference, resolving conflict, selecting staff, effective communication, giving and receiving feedback, staff reviews, effective use of authority, time management, problem solving, and coaching staff.
• The coaching relationship should model and foster quality relationships, good judgment and personal presence and authority, qualities that distinguish leadership from regular management.
• Coaching, like leadership, is built on trust and both parties feeling psychologically safe. All Moreton Executive Coaching is confidential.
• Accountability is necessary, so the manager and the coach agree what is appropriate to report to the employer.
• In each 12-session contract of coaching, agreed upon goals will be achieved -- and just as importantly, substantial insight and understanding will develop.
• Managers learn how to exercise leadership through learning to coach their staff.

In addition to achieving designated goals, interpersonal benefits reported include:

• A happier environment
• Improved performance and output
• Improved communication
• Greater morale at work and at home
• More positive attitude across teams
• Increased motivation
• Better adaptation to change
• Better decisions
• More trust and good will
• More customer satisfaction
• Greater efficiency
• Greater stability and retention of key staff
• Improved dealing with differences
• More constructive behaviour
• More understanding of people -- self and other
• Improved bottom line
