Executive Coaching
When was the last time you stopped to think? Thinking time is in short supply, and as deadlines become more pressing and urgent, the idea of taking time out to pause and reflect becomes even more elusive.
And if you do think...when was the last time you had it challenged? Was it effective? How? These are just a few questions to help introduce the concept of executive coaching.
Coaching is not new. It has been accepted for decades in other sectors (such as sport), and in the business world it now has an impressive track record of success and effective intervention.
Chris Haughton, holds a Postgraduate Certificate in Coaching from Lancaster University and has clients in the public and private sectors across several industries. He defines coaching as a means to facilitate the solution of challenges and problems through the efforts, skill, knowledge and application of the individual being coached.
Haughton Associates is supported by a network of qualified and experienced coaches, each of whom brings a very personal style to their coaching. We are keen to align the appropriate coach for your needs and circumstances.
Coaches typically work with clients for a six month period with a session each month. This time frame may of course be extended if required. Confidentiality and integrity are explicitly contracted and a spirit of open engagement and challenge is encouraged from the start.
Some of the areas in which Chris and colleagues have coached clients include:
- self confidence;
- self motivation;
- management of change;
- work and non-work balance;
- career transition;
- improving own communication;
- harnessing own energy;
- own time management;
- stress management;
- team maintenance;
- influencing others;
- motivating others;
- delegation;
All coaching programmes start with a preliminary face to face meeting where coach and client will decide on mutual compatibility, logistics, contractual matters and, of course, the overall purpose and aim of the programme. Please contact us for further information.
