In a partnership relationship the coach supports the client/manager on the path to pursuing professional goals.
What is Executive Coaching
The executive coaching is based on the development of a partnership between the coach and the client/manager (indicated by the term “coachee”); such relationship is aimed to support the coachee
on the pathto the pursuit of his/her objectives.
The coaching conversations (= sessions) are based on the maieutic and relational skills of the coach, through which the coachee feels listened to, valued and stimulated to action. The sessions include questions based
on discovery, the support in developing a proactive mode for managing challenges and opportunities, as well as observations and constructive feedback.
The coach helps the coachee to remain focused on his/her objectives and supports him to discover his/her potential for achieving the defined goals. Furthermore, the coach may challenge the coachee in order to enable him/for to give his/her best. Finally he may provide appropriate tools and support for creating optimal conditions during the goal achieving process.
Value and impact of Executive coaching
The benefits to the coachee are:
​
•Increased self-awareness, awareness of the facts that determine a given situation and/or other people’s patterns of thought
•Increased responsibility for his/her own thoughts and actions
•Greater autonomy in solving problems
•Greater determination and motivation in achieving his/her goals

A standard path of executive coaching is based on 8 individual interviews every 14 days roughly, lasting 1.5 hours. An initial meeting is planned for the definition of objectives and, subsequently, a final meeting
to receive feedback on the results. The opening and the closing meetings are the only two moments in the presence of the client (Direct responsible as sponsor or HR). The duration of the overall Executive Coaching Program is about 4-6 months. All the meetings can be scheduled online (Zoom/MS Teams/Skype)
or in presence, according to the preferences of the client.
