Dear MBAAI Member.
Welcome to Coaching.ie, the coaching website of Advanced
People Solutions Limited.
Founded in 1998, by Matt Kavanagh
(MBA Smurfit 1996),
Advanced People Solutions Limited, based in Stillorgan, Co.
Dublin is a coaching and human resources consultancy practice.
Executive
Coaching – Our Service:
Coaching focuses on unlocking a person’s potential in order to
maximise performance.
The process of coaching seeks to help a person to develop a
greater level of self-awareness and to become more attentive.
Through active listening and effective questioning a good
coach can help a person to understand the core issues and
examine and consider the various options.
The customer makes their own decisions in terms of the best
course of action to take and the coach acts as an objective
sounding board, to ensure that each options is considered,
potential obstacles are understood and that there is clear
commitment to the chosen course of action.
One of the most compelling reasons why a senior executive uses
a coach, is that the coaching agenda, is tailored to that
individual’s specific needs. In this context coaching can
address many topics, including:
Career Management:
One of the triggers for coaching with many executives, can be
uncertainty about their present career direction.
Alternatively, a person can be clear as to their next career
move, but unsure how to achieve this objective.
Through the use of coaching and a tailored personal
development plan it is possible that a person can take a
structured and planned approach to their next career move.
Tailored Assessment: - Understanding your strengths and
development needs.
When a person decides to undertake executive coaching,
there can in some cases, be uncertainty as to which issues or
development needs to address. Undertaking some tailored
assessment can be useful in pinpointing specific areas for
action and development.
Personal Development – Planning and Implementation:
Many senior executives as they progress within their
businesses, can sometimes neglect their own personal
development. Given the fast moving environment within which
many companies operate, there is a need for executives to
continuously seek to develop and enhance their skills set.
The use of an executive coach can help in setting a personal
development agenda and to ensure it is acted upon.
Job - Selection Process - Coaching:
Many managers struggle to be promoted within their company,
because they prepare for the job selection process (typically
a number of different elements) 2 or 3 days before the event,
if at all!
In many cases this lack of preparation is avoidable. By taking
a more planned approach to the selection process, a suitable
candidate can significantly increase their prospects of
success.
Such success largely depends on having the right motivation
for the role, having an in-depth understanding of the position
and being adequately prepared for the selection process.
