    Exploring Coaching with Sai

    The discovery call establishes my background and my leadership coaching methods. I understand about the client’s background and the challenges they are facing.  There are discussions about their intended expectations from coaching, areas of growth they seek, and the outcomes they wish to design for themselves. Once all these are established, we have a coaching contract and the sessions begin.

    The initial few sessions are spent setting clear goals and understanding the client’s personal background and personality. Leaders find their personal unlock journey to be unraveling. We focus on uncovering patterns that affect behaviors, emotions, limiting beliefs, etc. Opening up on issues & bringing out awareness of the leaders’ inner thought processes is an integral step. Awareness leads to choice, which creates a clear commitment to change from the client. Sometimes there is reading provided and small action contracts made so they begin 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. The coaching journey ends with assessing how far the coachee has achieved their promises, celebrating successes, and a plan for sustaining and supporting themselves ahead is made.

    FAQs

    Will there be other participants in the program? Can I share my challenges confidentially with Sailaja?
    Leadership coaching is purely a one-to-one program where you work directly with Sailaja on your individual goals and challenges. During your leadership coaching sessions, there will be no other participants, so you can share the specifics of your situation without having to worry about privacy issues.

    How long is the one-to-one leadership coaching program?
    One-on-one leadership coaching creates results in 3-6 months’ time. For best results, leadership coaching for 10-12 sessions over a year is recommended when leaders need to make an impact on 3-4 goals they are working towards.
    What is the coaching format of this program (pre-recorded /live / online / in-person)?
    Do I need leadership coaching if I am a solo-preneur and don’t lead a team?
    Yes, leadership coaching is absolutely essential, and here’s why. As a solo-preneur or independent professional, you may not be leading a team in the conventional sense, but you still have to work with clients, customers, vendors and other external partners. You have to assert influence and establish yourself as an authority figure within a very short span of time after meeting them. Of course, you have to practise self-leadership too, so that you can keep learning and expanding your boundaries. So leadership coaching will prove immensely beneficial for you.
