Leadership and executive coaching pairs a trained coach with an individual, group, or team, to help them unlock their full potential.
As the coachee, or client, you are in the driver’s seat. But navigating challenges or the unknown is different with a coach in the passenger’s seat. A coach can help you navigate challenges, see new possibilities, discover alternative routes, and maintain focus and momentum.
The International Coaching Federation states “At the core, coaching is about exploration. It’s a process that stirs up creativity, fuels personal growth, and maximizes both professional and personal potential. Through powerful questioning and insightful dialogue, coaches support you in discovering your own solutions, whether for life decisions, career shifts, or business challenges. Coaching goes beyond surface-level improvements; it cultivates deep, lasting change.”
Why Leaders Need This
Coaching can be helpful as you navigate interpersonal relationships, career transitions (role or company). It can build various leadership skills including communication, and unveils new levels of self-awareness.
What Type Is for Me?
Well, there are a few ways to look at this! First, we can look at priorities and topics. You can find coaches with niche subject matter expertise in a variety of topics, and generalists that can support the broader themes. Because a coach is not a consultant or business advisor, their credentials will likely be different than yours. They might will not hold deep subject matter expertise in your particular field. And that’s okay! For example, a coach could brilliantly partner with an attorney, a medical professional, an engineer, and a marketing exec, without having degrees in law, medicine, et cetera. The coach is focused on helping the client navigate challenges inside themselves – doubt, fear of failure, motivational dysregulation, to name a few.
Next, the client will need to decide how they want to engage with a coach. Here are three ways MPG partners with clients:
One-on-One Coaching
Dedicated time between you (the client) and a coach of your choosing. Typical engagements are a commitment of six sessions over three months (biweekly) for 50 minutes. This is ideal for anyone navigating company confidential challenges that cannot be shared in a group setting, and offers more flexibility in scheduling.
Group
Coaching
An opportunity to meet people navigating similar (or very different) challenges, and grow together. While the topics you work on are uniquely your own, you get exposure to other perspectives and questions you haven’t asked yourself. You also get a front row seat to the lightbulb moments of your group coaching peers!
Team
Coaching
Brings similar elements from both individual and group coaching, and is used when an intact team is interested in breaking through mental barriers together. Team coaching leverages the same assessment suite used in individual and group coaching, and includes an additional report on working together successfully.
All coaching contracted through MPG leverages ICF-credentialed coaches. The International Coaching Federation is the gold standard of coaching ethics, and MPG proudly employs and partners with ICF members.
