Coaching can be the single most transformative executive level development option. Organisations need their leaders and managers to have the competence and ability to cope with the challenges of business life. As competition increases, so too do the demands placed on them to produce more and deliver results, often against heavy targets. They are expected to get the most out of their teams as well as push their own capabilities to the limit, often with very little support.
Our coaching is typically geared to the needs of directors and senior executives of private and public sector organisations, partners in professional services firms and senior officials in public bodies and Government. Our pragmatic and motivational coaching is designed for leaders who:
May experience difficulty responding to the challenges that their work presents.
Want to focus on their personal development and performance.
Find themselves ‘stuck’ either in terms of progression, performance or perspective.
Our coaches act as non-judgmental, professional catalysts, helping each individual to make the necessary changes, set new goals and build confidence and self-esteem so they get back in control of their situation and direction. We aim to encourage them to take stock of their situation and explore their thoughts, feelings and behaviours with a view to identifying the areas they need to address and change, to improve performance and reach their goals.
Our approach
QED know that great leadership performance can be created ‘on purpose’ and deliver predictably outstanding results, so we develop resilient leaders who:
Have honest relationships with people
Can discuss behavioural performance with people
Are aware of how they and others ‘tick’
Encourage useful and stimulating conflict and challenge
Have a strong sense of purpose and encourage people to join them on their journey
Balance innovation and imagination with a desire to execute
Solve problems and seize opportunities one step at a time
Can endure difficulty and reliably deliver
Are aware of risk and see risk as a series of manageable tasks
Are clear about process and the part they should play in releasing the potential and capacity of people to build solutions
Are aware of stress and pressure in themselves and in others and seek to build capacity to help cope in the times when resilience is needed
