'Bet the Business' decision making

The executive suite and boardroom is all about decision making; allocating resources, deciding strategy, vision, focus, investment and appointments to key roles.

High performers are trusted to make these key decisions. Decisions that affect shareholder value in the months and years to come. The pressures are immense, as are the potential rewards. In our terms, great executives operate at Stage 4 - Contributing Strategically.

How do you develop executives to become such trusted high performers?

The fact is very few executives achieve high performance without support and help. And it's difficult to get that support from within nowadays. However you can turn to New Frontiers. Our professionally trained executive coaches all have a background in management and leadership. They have studied and received formal qualifications in Coaching and Psychology.

Our approach is contemporary and based firmly on researched psychological principles. We believe people and relationships matter. It's the emphasis we place on client relationships that sets us apart from others.

Relational coaching consistently achieves positive and effective outcomes for our clients and client organisations. Relational coaching looks to the future and not the past.

We don’t force ‘meaning’ from our relationships with clients, instead we help each individual identify their needs, desires and motivation. Insight and recognition of one’s own behaviour and the acceptance of change is central to relational coaching. If a client is open to change and newness, they are often more likely to develop and evolve into a truly high performing executive, rather than someone who is dependent on structures and traditions. And its this capability that qualifies them for a seat at the boardroom table.

Our executive coaching is built on the following principles:

• The Relationship - An open, honest, helpful, supportive and productively challenging relationship is the foundation of the New Frontiers way of executive coaching. Nothing is more powerful than focused dialogue with a trusted and experienced senior professional whose only objective is your success.
• Achieving Results - Coaching without clear objectives is nothing more than expensive chat. What our client's want to achieve, what their organisation needs them to achieve, how they wish to refine and enhance their behaviours, skills and capabilities defines our work together. Programmes typically involve 'homework' between each coaching conversation. This gives clients the opportunity to practice new approaches and 'lock in' new behaviours.
• Mutual Responsibility - Coaching is a powerful way to achieve extraordinary results, especially for those who embrace responsibility for their own success. Success is a journey, not a destination.
• The Coach's Role - Successful coaching employs a range of analytical tools, interactive techniques, and practice models. These resources are brought to bear throughout the programme, in order to maximise the experience.

Our executive coaches are all business professionals, adhere to Ashridge's Code of Practice and receive regular supervision. Please contact us for more information, testimonials and coach biographies.
