Executive Coaching

OrgPsych's coaching programmes address personal change and transformation - about our ability to grow, to change our behaviour patterns to enhance our business performance.

The overall goal of behavioural coaching is to help individuals increase their effectiveness and happiness at work. Behavioural coaching seeks to enhance the individual's life and work performance. It emphasises the coachee's relationship with all aspects of his or her self - the cognitive, emotional, physical and behavioural selves. Behavioural coaching strives to engender self-knowledge and self-regulation of thinking, feelings and actions.

Behavioural coaching adopts a scientific approach to coaching to bring about measurable sustained learning acquisition and change in individuals and organisations. Behavioural coaching is underpinned by four different stages of change (reflective, preparation, action and maintenance) during which the coach employs distinct forms of coaching. These are coaching education, skills coaching, rehearsal coaching, performance coaching and self-coaching.

There are various assessment tools used in behavioural coaching such as the MBTI, GENOS and the LPI.

The MBTI is a tool that recognises natural preferences, offers an awareness of our own skills and orientation to the world and shows a way to develop and operate outside one's preferred styles when necessary.

Learning about our own personality preferences paves the way for understanding colleagues who view the world from a different perspective. A person can improve his or her performance and work relationships greatly by learning to influence those whose psychological type differs from their own. A more persuasive and effective communication system can result in a better outcome that takes into account the information or delivery style required by other types.

By building collaborative relationships based on trust, respect, unconditional positive regard and commitment, behavioural coaches form working alliances that foster productivity, personal growth and well-being.                 – Adapted from Dr. Suzanne Skiffington & Perry Zeus
