Compass Coaching

Compass coaching with individual executives and managers is focussed on improving performance at work and is based on a Cognitive Behaviour Coaching (CBC) approach, which helps identify and change specific behaviours to achieve better results.

This approach is focussed and goal oriented, aiming to improve performance in specified areas (performance coaching) or improving overall performance generally (excellence coaching). The process will often include a 360 degree feedback survey using the Compass360 system and/or the Myers Briggs Step 2 personality type model as a starting point for coaching. The overall coaching process is action and results based:

This provides a structure that enables clients to stop and take stock of where they are at present and establish what goals they want to achieve. It helps them to start looking at how they need to change their approach to get better results, and to agree what it is they need to do to continue improving performance. This framework is not a rigid timetable that has to be followed throughout a coaching programme. It does however provide a structure and a strong signal that coaching is a finite process that is designed to achieve results that will enable the client to continue at the end without the ongoing support of the coach. Generally six sessions are recommended at the outset with evaluation reviews after sessions three and six and then a decision to continue or end the coaching.
