When does Executive Coaching make sense?

Signium Executive Coaching is not a tool to put out fires; on the contrary it is an invaluable tool to proactively diffuse potential situations of conflict or confusion to generate focus and appropriate actions in typical scenarios:

- Define status and role of “coachee” in the company (Self  
  assessment and third party assessment)
- Identification of core competencies
- Where is added value generated (personal contribution)
- Where/how can efficiency be optimized
- How can resources be better utilized
- Leading and following
- Communication as key success factor
- Inspirational leadership to improve team performance
- Contribution to innovation processes (product, people, systems,
  structure)
- Agent of change and influence – subordinates, peers, superiors

Coaching is at its most effective when used

- To master singular challenge
- To implement unpopular decisions - To manage conflicts
- To diffuse pressure (given and received)

Why Signium External Coaching?

Using an external coach can be highly effective as the process is free from the weight of the “historical baggage” of internal mentors. On top of this our coaches are in possession of indepth knowledge of the management development processes of other companies and have the time and resources to focus on the individual situation. Their life and management experience, composure, serenity and confidence create an atmosphere of trust and openness and have a calming effect on the most difficult situations. In addition they guarantee objectivity and independent judgment or evaluation of each and every scenario.

Promise of External Coaching

Signium coaching has many advantages

- Increased assurance to be “doing things right”

- Balanced investment of own time and enery
- Objectives and goals reached faster
- Better work-life balance
- More confident and successful command of new challenges and
  situations

Process and Fees

As a rule of thumb no more than 2 sessions of max. 3 hours per month are necessary. The coach designs a tailormade program for the coachee in alignment with the specific challenge. Depending on the outcome additional sessions may be requested as demanded by ongoing developments. It is possible to book a one hour “introductory session” free of charge (out of pocket expenses only invoiced). We charge a flat fee for each three hour session (preparation, travel to/from meeting place, follow-up).
