Exploring Coaching with Sai
- The discovery call establishes Sai’s leadership coaching methods. It also helps understand the client’s current challenges and desired outcomes.
- Once the above is established, the coaching contract is confirmed, and sessions begin.
- The initial sessions are for setting clear goals, understanding the client’s personal background, personality, and blocks.
- If required, the Hogan Personality Inventories are applied to gain deeper insights into leadership potential, workplace behaviours, and derailers.
- Leaders find their personal unlock journey to be unraveling over the next few sessions. The focus is on uncovering patterns that affect behaviors, emotions, limiting beliefs, etc.
- Facilitating a deeper awareness of the leaders’ inner thought processes is an integral step as it creates choice and a commitment to change.
- Sometimes, there is reading material provided and action contracts made so the leader begins applying the learning from coaching right away.
- A midway review happens to exchange assessments about changes made & sometimes to set more ambitious goals. At times life and career changes require both coach and client to pivot with a new plan.
- Transformative coaching takes insights into action and impacts the Leader’s mind, body, and spirit. The coaching journey closes with assessing how far the coachee has achieved their promises, celebrating successes, and making a plan for sustaining and supporting themselves ahead.
