Making An Executive Leadership Coaching Program

By Marissa Velazquez


Companies who would want those in the executive level and probably even in the managerial or middle level to succeed in leading the people would most likely train their leaders. More often than not, it is the new inductees into the executive levels that are participants of these executive leadership coaching programs. Of course if one would want to host one, there are a few ways to do so.

Now when making a program, the very first thing to do would be to know who the audience will be. Of course in this case, the audience will be those who are in the mid level ranking of the company or probably the executives. Knowing this is extremely important because by knowing this, one will easily be able to adapt to how the audience would actually think.

Now before even conducting the seminar, one of the things that one should do would be to find out some specific problems in that level. Through some interviews or surveys one will actually be able to find out a lot. If one would want some in depth feedback, then maybe some focus groups will be really good.

When the seminar would begin, the first thing that the speaker must do would be to simply jot down some of the roles of the executives or mid level leaders. It is very important for them to know what is expected of them in order for them to be able to set goals. By knowing what they are supposed to do, they will be able to have a better approach in the future.

After that part, then the executives will be learning some certain things that are unique only to those at the managerial and executive level. Some of these things would include communication skills, problem solving skills, organizational development, and of course decision making skills. These skills are very important to those in the executive level because they are the ones calling the shots in the operations.

Of course one of the main things to discuss in the seminar would actually be some of the problems that were supposedly found out a while ago. After the interviews and group discussions, now the speaker will be able to let out all of these problems and discuss them with the participants. From there, a few solutions will be able to be formed.

Just before one begins making a program like this, there are some things to note. The first thing to take note of would be to never just stick to a lecture based seminar as this will not get through to the heads of the participants. The seminar should also include some engaging activities to help them really delve into the problem.

Now if one is tasked to create an executive leadership coaching program, then these tips will definitely be helpful. Always remember to follow these tips and try to be a little creative when making programs like these. It will definitely be beneficial to the participants who will join the program.
