Customized Executive Coaching

I.  Input from other constituents

The KEYGroup® coach will gather input through scheduled conference calls from three managers that the coaching candidate supports as well as from other selected stakeholders who are able to provide an overview of the candidate’s strengths and weaknesses. 

II. Goal-Setting

The KEYGroup® coach will meet with the candidate to determine his or her perception of strengths and weakness, to share themes from others’ input collected in Phase I and to establish two or three development areas for which learning goals will be developed.  Additionally, the KEYGroup coach will assess the high potential’s learning style preferences to plan future one-on-one development sessions.

III. Five to Eight One-on-One Development Sessions

• We recommend a series of five to eight development sessions for the candidate.  These sessions will include exercises and activities to teach techniques focused on the learning goals.  Additional assessments will be provided if deemed necessary. 
• Each one-on-one session will be followed with an on-the-job assignment to which the candidate will apply skills.  An on-the-job feedback person (could be a manager that she supports) will also be asked to provide feedback to the candidate during the coaching process when appropriate.  The candidate and coach will use this feedback for future learning sessions.
• The KEYGroup coach will also provide feedback to the managers when needed throughout the coaching process (based on agreement from the coaching candidate).

IV. Summary of Progress and Plan for Future Development

The KEYGroup coach and candidate will agree on the summary of learning progress and suggestions for the future.  The candidate will share his or her insights and applied changes with his or her managers, also specifying any support he or she may need from them.  The KEYGroup coach will provide summary feedback to the managers and key stakeholders for future coaching of the candidate as well.
