People, relationships, organizations and behavioral change are what Pat knows best. If you have a high potential executive or leader that needs some personal insights on how to develop and realize their potential that is when you need a coach like Pat Bourne. Pat’s strength is to listen and help individuals reflect on and tackle their own issues. Her role is to stimulate self-evaluation; that is recognizing their strengths and weaknesses, identifying obstacles that might be holding them back and determining the tools they need to realize their potential. A comprehensive assessment will define the goal of the coaching trajectory which will be converted into a concrete plan of action, with tangible goals to ensure sustainable success. Self-reliance, greater competence, insight and confidence in one’s self are the personal goals while the coaching will simultaneously align with organizational goals.
Helping employees reach their own personal and professional potential will ensure they’re empowered to contribute to organization success for years to come. Coaching is proven to improve talent retention, employee engagement, motivation and productivity.
Research indicates that many senior managers/leaders/executives feel they need educating on how to coach an employee. Combined with their assignment to train, mentor, and deliver feedback to respective employees in addition to their own duties, the responsibility of individualized coaching can be overwhelming. Pat can work with these individuals to help them understand the coach approach and how they can use this method with their employees to enhance their success as they transform into a high performance team.
Engaging a qualified coach to assess and empower high potential employees is a solid investment. A qualified executive coach will exponentially accelerate the time it takes for an employee to transform while integrating the ability for the individual and the company to embrace the change. The process allows employees to enhance their abilities personally while having a positive impact on organizational performance as well.
Some of the successful outcomes of coaching include but are not limited to:
- Develop leadership skills for high-potential employees
- Assess and develop skillsets of newly promoted executives/leaders to deal with former peers
- Develop communication and leadership skills to lead diverse team structures (e.g. technical, marketing, etc.)
- Support the creation of a people centered workplace rather than a performance measured environment
- Identify and improve skills to enhance executive leadership
- Promote and assist in personal and organizational alignment to generate business success at both levels
- Improve employee retention
- Respond and successfully manage organizational change
