The Executive Coaching Process
Our executive coaching process is designed to be comprehensive and tailored to meet the specific needs of each executive. Here’s what you can expect from your coaching experience with DILAN:
1. Coach Selection and Process Customization
The first step is to match you with the right coach. This involves understanding your unique needs, leadership style, and goals. Our team works diligently to ensure a perfect fit, as the right coach-executive relationship is crucial for effective coaching.
2. Assessment
Scientifically validated assessments form the foundation of our coaching process. These assessments provide a clear and accurate picture of your current strengths and areas for development. As psychologists, our coaches are uniquely positioned to interpret this data and translate it into an actionable roadmap for behavioral change.
3. Debrief and Goal Setting
Following the assessment, your coach will work with you to develop specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-based (SMART) goals. This collaborative goal-setting process ensures that the objectives are not only clear and realistic but also aligned with your personal and organizational ambitions.
4. Begin the Coaching Process
Coaching sessions are typically delivered in person or via video call, accommodating the demands of your schedule. These sessions focus on practical strategies and real-time problem-solving to help you implement new skills and approaches immediately.
5. Mid-Process Progress Review
Midway through the coaching engagement, we conduct a progress review to reflect on the achievements and reassess the goals. This ensures that the coaching process remains dynamic and responsive to any changes in your circumstances or objectives.
6. Final Progress Review and Closure
As the coaching engagement draws to a close, a final review session is held to consolidate the learning and plan the next steps. This is an opportunity to celebrate your achievements, seek feedback, and agree on actionable steps to maintain the momentum.
