How Our Executive Coaching Works
Victor approaches coaching like a consulting project.
He helps clients identify their goals and then employs the right information, tools, and techniques to achieve those goals.
He helps clients track progress and see results.
Victor’s goal is to make the coaching sessions the most valuable, and anticipated, meetings clients have at work.
A typical engagement has Victor meeting with the client every other week for six months. The meetings can be over the phone, via a video call, or in-person.
Every client is different, but a typical coaching engagement may look like this:
- Gather Baseline Information – Victor interviews the client’s key colleagues to get anonymous feedback on the client’s strengths and opportunities for improvement. The client also takes a few standardized assessments to measure their working interests and style relative to other people.
- Identify Opportunities for Improvement – Victor reviews the feedback and assessment results with the client. They identify and prioritize the most important things to work on.
- Set Improvement Goals – Victor uses a conversational technique called active inquiry to help the client identify solutions to their problems and opportunities. Each session ends with the client identifying a few next steps they want to do before the next meeting.
- Track Progress to Build Accountability – Each session starts by reviewing the progress on the next steps from previous sessions. Victor uses a web-based tool to help the client track progress.
