If you want to make an impact on your organization, an easy place to start would be to look at your current programs, communications, rituals, and professional development opportunities. While all these elements are important and helpful to building a strong culture, the most successful company cultures are created by incorporating coaching into their executive level routines. Executive coaching helps high-performers achieve both personal and company-level goals, balance their drive at work with a healthy personal life, and unlock their full potential.
Coaching, as defined by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), is a creative and thought-provoking partnership that inspires us to maximize our personal and professional potential. It's a non-judgmental and confidential relationship that focuses on the present and future, empowering us to take action, learn, and grow while achieving our desired outcomes, motivating and inspiring us.
Signature Performance understands the importance of establishing a culture that incorporates coaching for every level of associate. Our commitment to providing access to certified coaching professionals is one of the many reasons why Signature Performance consistently ranks as one of the best places to work in Omaha, Nebraska. We invest in our people, enabling them to show up as the best version of themselves and encourage them to envision what's possible while building a fulfilling and successful career.
It is not uncommon to see high-level, executive leaders delay their personal and professional development because of the high-pressure, overwhelming tasks at hand. However, it's crucial to recognize that incorporating coaching into executive routines is not just a wise investment in personal and professional growth but an absolute necessity to achieve uncommon goals, improve our health, and enjoy our lives both in and outside of the work we do.
Five Ways Executive Coaching Can Help Elevate You and Your Organization
Improve Overall Health Coaching isn't just about being successful at work. It's an essential aspect of our overall health routine. It helps us to enjoy our personal lives and excel in all areas of life. A holistic approach to coaching should give us peace of mind and confidence as we understand that we are investing in our personal growth and well-being.
Strengthen Working Relationships Solid professional relationships lead to high-performing partnerships and are the secret ingredient to long-term success. A coach can strengthen our ability to form positive relationships at work, increase productivity, communication, and the likelihood of achieving goals. These relationships also provide valuable knowledge and resources, allowing individuals and organizations to make a positive impact in their respective fields.
Accelerate Performance Levels The ICF, in partnership with PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), found that coaching helps identify strengths and blind spots, improves communication and leadership qualities, and fosters a growth mindset - all keys to performing at the highest levels.
Enlighten Succession Planning Coaching promotes enlightened succession planning, leading to sustained business outcomes. By identifying potential leaders and developing them, organizations ensure a smooth transition of power and maintain a strong leadership team. Coaching also improves associate engagement and retention, providing a stable and prosperous organization in the long run.
Increase Return on Investment The study "Building a Coaching Culture for Increased Employee Engagement and Performance" revealed that companies see a 7x return on investment when investing in coaching.
