Leadership Development
Coaching
Coaching is a powerful learning tool that can help current and emerging leaders reach their full potential. Many leaders, especially at senior levels, receive little objective support and are often isolated in their attempts to bring about behavioural changes. Planning and problem-solving with a personal coach delivers that much-needed support and consistently ranks as a key success factor in leadership and talent retention initiatives.
Personal Leadership Coaching
Most Kwela leadership development programs include a number of one-on-one sessions with an experienced personal coach. The role of the coach is to help participants to:
- Interpret feedback from 360-degree assessments and other sources.
- Develop and implement personal development plans.
- Involve their colleagues and set up formal feedback mechanisms.
- Review successes and adapt the plan to handle new challenges.
The key ingredients of a great coach are relevant experience, training, insight and objectivity. Kwela’s leadership coaches embody these characteristics and can be relied on to offer support that is confidential and bias-free .
Peer Coaching
Coaching can also take place through facilitated or self-directed sessions in which participants (often a triad of peers) provide coaching to each other. Peer coaching is a cost-effective way to support participants during their development and has the added benefit of high levels of camaraderie that develop through the shared experience. We typically use peer coaching to augment our personal leadership coaching.
In addition to coaching your leaders, Kwela can also turn every leader into a great coach through our Coaching Skills workshop.
