The Benefits of Working With an Executive Coach
Our world is in a state of flux. Business practices, executive roles, and even the way we work are evolving rapidly to meet global industry needs. Though nobody can predict where it’s all going to end up, I think we can all agree that the only constant is change.
With great change comes the need for strong leadership. Often, coaching is an essential strategy in the effort to ensure the best possible outcome. However, there are many personal benefits to working with an executive coach, and that’s what we will discuss today.
In a broad sense, executive coaching is about building self-awareness. It’s also about seeing others more clearly and understanding their motivations. It’s about being able to articulate your goals and recognize what drives you. It helps you develop the ability to respond in a way that respects your genuine self.
Throughout the process, you have a neutral third party (your coach) by your side, someone who knows you well and wants to see you succeed. Since your coach is unbiased, your best interests are always front and center, assuring you of an honest, genuine connection that is always focused on the results you want to achieve.
Coaching leverages your strengths and helps you build more productive and valuable relationships. It will ultimately help you navigate change, recognize unproductive behavior and thinking, and communicate your ideas more clearly. Coaching will help you identify your strengths and your gifts, which you can then leverage to be more effective at just about everything you do.
Like any piece of high-tech machinery, you need to know how the operating system works before using it to its best advantage.
When we apply that analogy to our lives and behavior, it’s safe to say that most of us do not know what we are capable of until we’re pushed to the limit, nor do we know our limits until we have run up against them. When we know our strengths, we can develop them further. When we know our limitations, we can develop strategies to overcome them and become a more effective leader in the process.
One of the things we focus on in executive coaching is taking the time to think and reflect. It is only through reflection that we can learn and grow, so finding time to do so is essential.
Reflection gives us time to step away from the noise and chaos of our daily lives, to unpack our thoughts, observations, words, and actions, consider the implications, and create meaning from it all. Those meanings become lessons, which will light the way forward and inform our behavior in the future.
Life is a series of defining moments that shape who we are. The ability to recognize and seize the moment, positive or negative, gives the power to transform. It strengthens the trust we have in ourselves to make the right decisions.
In conclusion, coaching is a catalyst for positive change. It helps executives build on their strengths and learn how to elevate those around them. To book a coaching session, or to learn more about me and how I can help, reach out to me by email today.
How aware are you of your Emotional Capital? Do you know your strengths? Which strengths could you build upon?
Years of studies show clearly that the more emotional intelligence someone has the better their performance. This applies to leaders, managers, employees at every level, and teams.
SELF-AWARENESS indicates you know your own strengths and weaknesses. Martin Newman states:
Emotionally intelligent leaders are aware of their emotional experience and know what they are feeling most of the time. They have the capacity to recognize how their feelings and emotions impact on their personal opinions, attitudes and judgements.
Are you aware of what triggers your emotions? and
How aware are you of your responses to what triggers you?
Do you know your strengths and weaknesses in handling your emotions?
Emotional Capital can be developed and Dr Neslyn is able to enable you to build your emotional capital using RocheMartin's Emotional Capital Report.
The Emotional Capital ReportTM is a leadership development tool that provides professional people with a comprehensive interpretation of their leadership potential based on their emotional intelligence. The report includes: a global Total Emotional Capital score; an individual’s scores on 10 emotional and social competencies linked to effective leadership and a validity scale that measures positive response bias. The Emotional Capital Report also provides narrative descriptions of the leadership behaviors associated with each score; coaching strategies for developing emotional intelligence and leadership, and an action plan for designing a personal blueprint to build emotional capital.

Life has its upturns, down turns and challenges. Some of those challenges may require us to heal ourselves, emotionally, spiritually and physically. There comes a time in our lives when the soul speaks to us through the heart that it is ready for healing. My own healing directed me along the path of studying energy healing and healing essences. Essences can support you to regain your stability and strength. I am qualified to use the Alaskan Essences, Australian Bush Flowers and Wild Earth Animal essences
The production of an essence captures the radiation of the healing energy of flowers, plants, trees, crystals and animals in a liquid. No destruction or hurt is brought to flowers, plants, trees, crystals or animals. The essences is produced in a liquid solution.
To give an example of the benefits of Flower Essences Particia Kaminski writes about the four stages of Flower Essence Response. Stage One: Release, Relaxation or Rejuvenation. Stage Two: Realisation and Recognition. Stage Three: Reaction, Resistance and Reconciliation and Stage Four: Renewal and Reconstellation.
It is recognised that Flower Essences are our teachers, they teach us about self-awareness and support us to understand life’s lessons. Suffice to say Flower Essences support us to gain insight into how our thinking and behaviour affect us, and they help balance our emotions and give insight into how we view ourselves and our lives.
There exists much information on Alaskan Essences on their YouTube Channel
Alaskan Gem Essences are progressively important in changing conditions and as our consciousness grows. Gem essences provide strength and stability by improving the connection between our consciousness, physical body and the Earth.
I have recognised that some of my clients require stability and strength in response to the current world conditions. I am here to support even more people in moving through these challenges with coaching and in addition, supporting my clients with healing through the use of healing essences.
