When broad-based, “get-up-to-speed” learning is required to support a business leader or someone taking on a new role, the classroom no longer makes sense.
In such a situation, one-to-one executive coaching is a more efficient method of knowledge transfer. No time is wasted on aspects that are not 100% relevant to the coachee. The coaching typically takes place at the coachee’s office over a series of sessions, ensuring that he or she stays close to the business at all times.
Working as a partnership, the coach and coachee structure the programme together. The key component is flexibility; being able to respond to specific training needs as they arise will truly provide support to the individual during a time of change, added responsiblility and increased pressure.
