Executive Coaching
Executive coaching involves working through a situation with a neutral partner, such as the coach, who is an objective observer removed from the workplace. This helps to bring clarity of thought, develop confidence to move forward and build required capabilities to fulfil potential.

Frequently asked questions
Although LifeForward’s executive coaching is business-focused, the coaching includes anything that our client brings to the table. By its nature, coaching may cover anything that affects thinking and behaviour. It may include: overall wellbeing; commitments that absorb time and energy outside work (eg family, charitable roles, sport, hobbies and so on); significant life changes such as personal relationships or business secondments; and the impact of personal decisions on work, or vice versa.
Therefore, there is no clear line between executive coaching and life coaching. As coaches, we work with whatever arises during the sessions and our coaching is tailor-made to individual needs.
When working in an organisational setting, we make sure everyone – the organisational sponsor, the coachee and ourselves as coach – is in agreement as to the purpose and objectives of the coaching engagement. We also ensure that everyone understands the confidentiality of the coach-client relationship with respect to the individual being coached. As Professional Certified Coaches with the International Coach Federation we implement fully their Code of Ethics.
As a result, we build trusted relationships with both the organisation and our individual coaching clients.
Recognising that a significant number of international assignments do not achieve their objectives, often resulting in the assignee departing from an organisation, LifeForward offers a specific coaching programme to support assignees and the needs of the business at all stages of the international assignment. We work with both the individual and the organisation before the assignment starts, on arrival, during the secondment overseas and also when preparing to return home.
We focus on clear goals and objectives, personal impact and preparation, cultural awareness and many other aspects which may be critical to success.

“The coaching sessions have taught me how to view my business problems from a different perspective; particularly on how to view problems and solve them as a leader. As part of my leadership training you have also taught me how I should approach different people with different business chemistry in order to have effective relationships. Most of all, your coaching instilled the confidence for the LEAD program to be a partner at Deloitte.”

Step 1 ~ Where are you now?
A realistic assessment of one’s current position is a good starting point for personal development. This requires honesty with oneself, self-reflection and self-awareness.
Step 2 ~ What are your goals and aspirations?
Identifying goals and aspirations helps give direction and meaning to what we do. Aligning personal and business goals ensures positive engagement at work and a balance in life.
Step 3 ~ What is stopping you moving forward?
Limiting behaviours and beliefs are often hard to identify and even harder to change. Getting to the root cause of a problem is a critical first step towards solving it.
Step 4 ~ What do you need to differently?
Changing habitual behaviours takes practice, enabling the brain to create new connections and allowing new desired patterns of behaviour to become the norm.
