Benefits of Coaching
The benefits of coaching are often couched in terms of whether executive feel that the process contributes both
to the organization’s bottom line and to "making a difference" as a leader and organization. Legitimization of the
coaching process implies demonstrating the benefits of executive coaching and by providing evidence indirectly
versus direct intervention as might be the case with consulting.
As an advocate of Stakeholder Centered Coaching, Dr. Mike Gosling's EASEQuadrant Coaching programs include many aspects of
the Goldsmith Coaching Process™ (GCP™), which is based on an empirically-tested method of executive coaching
developed by Dr. Marshall Goldsmith, a leading authority in the field. Marshall's straightforward and
highly effective process has consistently delivered successful results for many leaders in a broad spectrum of
professions. The focus of the GCP™ is behavioral change. By identifying specific behaviors to improve and
choosing concrete methods of change, the GCP™ supports leaders in making positive and measurable behavior
improvements.
The GCP™ differs from other behavioral coaching models in that :
- The focus is on only one or two behaviors to improve
- It is a visible process that involves key constituents
- There is systematic measurement of progress by constituents
Coaching is one way of creating positively directed change, or learning, which helps
individuals to develop their potential and the organization to develop sustainability in an increasingly complex
and fast paced world.
Coaching is a structured process over a finite period of time that is evidence based and
psychologically grounded whereby one individual helps another to perform, learn and achieve at a superior level
through:
- Increasing their sense of self-responsibility and ownership of their performance
- Unlocking the individual's natural ability
- Increasing their awareness of the factors which determine their performance
- Assisting the individuals to identify and remove internal barriers to achievement
- Enabling the individual to self-coach
Coaching is not
- Therapy or counseling
-
- Coaching is not about unraveling 'personal' problems. It is about guiding individuals who are
functioning or performing very well towards even better performance.
- Counseling provides clients opportunity to ventilate and raise their issues. It is more client
directed and the therapist responds to the client and teaches strategies and/or different perspectives
as relevant to the issues discussed. counseling can go on for an indefinite time and clients can keep
extending.
- Just a conversation
-
- Coaching is a structured conversation, drawing upon established psychological principles, designed
to guide individuals towards considered action. This planned action aims to generate greater
sustainable personal and professional performance.
Performance-Based-Coaching (PBC)
Individual one-on-one performance based coaching (PBC) has been identified as the best approach for individuals
to enhance their emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills. Experience alone does not necessarily ensure
accurate learning or development; in this way coaching is critical to behavioral change.
Coaching can provide individuals with an opportunity to think differently about the way they conduct themselves
within their organization, identify themes and patterns in what they do that are habitual or self-limiting, and to
challenge and question assumptions about what they suppose works for them and to recognize what doesn't.
Performance Based Coaching makes use of evidence-based indicators to help improve an individual's emotional
intelligence, emotional knowledge, and interpersonal skills. PBC follows a proven model for behavioral change. It
involves an evidence-based outcome focused coaching approach, combining:-
- Assessment of emotional intelligence abilities and competencies known to underlie and contribute to
emotional knowledge and interpersonal skills; and
- Skill development via cognitive-behavioral restructuring utilizing activities that can be tailored to the
specific needs of the individual
EASEQuadrant Coaching
EASEQuadrant Coaching makes
use of evidence-based indicators of emotional intelligence in performance-based coaching. Additional coaching of
the way you respond to events through behaviors, via cognitive behavioral restructuring, develops your
personality and interpersonal skills. The benefits of this process can be seen clearly by comparing results of
psychometric testing at the commencement and completion of the emotional leadership coaching
program.

In working with Mike Gosling over the course
of a year I was able to stop an annoying habit that I barely knew was occurring but which was
turning people off me.
