Organizational Coaching - Building Coaching Culture
All organizations strive to maximize individual and team potential. The required change in people and team behavior can be effected through a robust and thriving coaching culture.The process of building coaching culture is a continuous cycle and demands quality time.
People move from Knowing -> Doing -> to Being, a coach.
​
Knowing – Building knowledge about coaching
First phase of building coaching culture, involves learning about the coaching
process, building internal coaches and increasing awareness about coaching
benefits in organization. We conduct “Coaching Awareness” & “Leader as a
Coach” programs help you build internal capability of coaching.
​
Doing – Coaching sessions & Supervision
This is second phase of building coaching culture, where selected coaches start practicing coaching conversations with people internally, this involves spending 1 X 1 sessions with people. Here the budding coach faces real time coaching scenarios that will help improve their coaching skills. The budding coach will also get mentor coaching hours where they get to course correct, clarify, sharpen the skills and become comfortable with coaching as a process.
​
Being – Embodied coaching personality
By this phase budding coaches start experiencing coaching as a second nature to them. They get comfortable coaching others and also become open to get coached by others for any situation that they face. Even small coffee, smoke, hall way discussions become deeper conversation with an intent to generate potential to deal with a situation with more self reliance. This creates a positive environment, generating new ideas, resulting in an environemnt of trust and camaraderie.
​
Our engagement process for building such a culture is as follows;
- Assessing current culture stat of organization across all dimensions denoted in picture:
- Develop solution, Co-creating with the sponsor (scope, schedule) and other stakeholders
- Monitor Execute, track progress and optimize
- Optimize implementation by constant review and update.
Team Coaching
Organizations are most effective when they have a highly effective team accountable for the
success of the business. Aim is to enable teams to take charge of their own destiny
(and performance improvement).
