Based on their extensive experience working at board and management levels, Challenging Coaching suggests that for too long coaching approaches have shied away from adopting a more challenging stance - a stance that can provoke greater performance and unlock deeper potential in business leaders and their teams. Long-held coaching principles such as being non-directive, building rapport and holding to the individual’s agenda are put under the spotlight and their relevance is questioned to a 21st-century business environment where the needs of the wider organisation must take precedence over the particular wants of any specific executives.
About the FACTS CoachingTM model – you will explore the principles of challenging coaching: the Support Challenge Matrix, the Zone of Uncomfortable Debate, Build the Contract Honour the Contract, and Speak Your Truth and Face the FACTS.
