Executive Coaching
Whether the goal is to create a stronger team, be more strategic, or to strengthen other key leadership competencies and behaviors, Archova’s executive coaching helps clients to increase their effectiveness in leading themselves, leading others, and leading their teams or departments.
Having strong leadership skills is often the missing piece leaders require to become more effective and influential in their roles and reach the next level.
In fact, 87% of managers wished they had received more leadership training and coaching because they realize that most of the struggles and challenges they face have to do with people and relationships. (Grovo)
In Executive Coaching, We Will...
Assess the current situation, develop awareness and establish clarity on goals.
This may include a 360-degree feedback assessment, stakeholder interviews, behavioral assessments, and the collaborative development of a growth plan.
Work towards the identified goals and address ongoing challenges in real time.
In a series of confidential 1-on-1 conversations, the leader and their Archova coach address beliefs, behaviors and practices supportive of the leader's goals and identify blindspots and challenges that may hinder progress.
Solicit feedback, review growth, and identify next steps.
At least 6 months, the leader and their Archova coach complete a review and self-reflection process to embrace the journey of growth. This step also includes a reset of goals to ensure priorities and targets are aligned with current needs and business goals.
Ideal Coaching Situations
LEADERSHIP TRANSITIONS & ONBOARDING
The first six months in a new role are a critical time for a newly hired or promoted leader and their organization. We work closely with external hires and internally promoted leaders to scale their leadership so it matches the increased and new responsibilities of the role. By helping leaders make great first impressions and establish rapport and credibility, we help to ensure successful leadership transitions.
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT & INFLUENCE
Through targeted executive coaching, leaders can refine their communication skills, strategic thinking, and Executive Presence, all of which are essential components of effective stakeholder engagement. The coaching process helps leaders understand the diverse perspectives and expectations of stakeholders, enabling them to tailor their communication styles and strategies accordingly.
As leaders develop a heightened awareness of their own influence styles and strengths, they can strategically leverage their abilities to create alignment and garner support for their ideas and projects.
CHANGE MANAGEMENT
In the dynamic landscape of organizational change, leaders often face unprecedented challenges that demand adaptability and strategic thinking. Executive coaching provides a structured and personalized approach to help leaders thrive amidst uncertainty. It offers a confidential space for reflection that fosters self-awareness, resilience, and effective decision-making, and helps leaders guide their teams through change with confidence.
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
By delving into the intricacies of self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, and interpersonal skills, coaching helps leaders refine their emotional intelligence. This equips leaders with the capacity to recognize and manage their emotions effectively, fostering better decision-making and conflict resolution. Improved emotional intelligence also contributes to enhanced communication skills, enabling leaders to navigate challenging situations with grace and empathy.
TEAM DEVELOPMENT
Executive coaching equips leaders with insights, awareness, and strategies to motivate and inspire team members and promote better collaboration and communication. The coaching process often includes practical tools and techniques to navigate complex team situations, resulting in improved conflict resolution, team cohesion, and overall performance.
How Archova's Executive Coaching Is Different
Awareness
When leaders know their values, preferences, habits, beliefs, and emotions and how they affect their actions and the actions of others, they are better equipped to manage stress, build relationships, communicate effectively, make wiser decisions, and help others do the same.
Principles
Leaders with a clear set of Leadership Principles can better guide and direct their behaviors versus reacting to others or external situations. In addition, their principles fuel strong self-leadership and strengthen their confidence when making decisions.
Systems
Leaders' repetitive behaviors and habits make up their Leadership System. Developing an effective and personalized system with routines, frameworks, habits, and practices that address the responsibilities and expectations of the job and the team is key to a leader's success.
We work best with clients who are looking to strengthen their leadership skills due to new challenges, growing responsibilities, or a desire for behavioral change or increased confidence, and who understand that growing as a leader is a core responsibility that comes with being a leader.
