Executive Coaching: Theories & Concepts
Instructor: Mary Beth O’Neill
Purpose: A two-day orientation to the theory and concepts of executive coaching, emphasizing the importance of connecting business and people issues in leadership coaching.
Topics:
- Definition of executive coaching as both organizational intervention and leadership development, e.g., working with leaders to align teams and streamline decision-making to achieve business results
- Capacities and skill requirements of executive coaches
- Distinctions among several coaching methods -- behind-the-scenes, “live action,” one-on-one, and group coaching
- Systems-based coaching models, e.g., seeing the patterns leaders co-create with their organizations that promote or impede business results; resisting over-functioning for leaders; holding a neutral stance while bringing your own convictions and talents to bear; assessing and mapping alignment issues; and attending to the system co-created by you and your client
