So Coach Me Now for HR Professionals

Developing Other Individuals

At Exceptional Achievement we are offering stand alone on-line coaching tools to assist those in organisations who do not have access to an executive coach. ‘So Coach Me Now’ is a tool for the individual to examine their challenging situations at work, to take control and to improve performance.

The ‘So Coach Me Now’ tool promotes personal insight bringing increased self-awareness. Taking responsibility and ownership for finding effective solutions leads to growth and professional maturity. The tool is a catalyst for these benefits across large populations.

Promoting a coaching culture in the work place

‘So Coach Me Now’ outputs are available only to the delegate. The delegate has the option to forward their results by e-mail from this web site to the manager or internal coach or colleague. In this way our tool promotes powerful coaching conversations across the work force, and is an obvious way to deepen a coachingculture in organisational life. By making the discussions between managers and their direct reports more objective, they can discuss highly relevant output without becoming overly involved in personal feedback about the individual. These conversations are potentially safer but no less productive.

If the individual chooses not to share their output they will still have been through a coaching experience in conversation with themselves, where they are taking full responsibility for their own development and growth.

‘So Coach Me Now’ poses thirty questions and then produces a graphical or picture output illustrating the shape of the individual’s experience. This also offers a way of measuring where they are now. The tool speaks back to them of what they are likely to be experiencing. The tool then presents coaching questions for further exploration. These are designed to leave the person fully in control and yet experiencing the challenge of objective probing. The questions are there to trigger new thoughts, insights and perspectives giving them the opportunity to take decisions and to create an action plan as necessary.

All the information offered is derived from Karen Dean’s complex 36 point model which underpins this unique approach, developed and tested over five years’ practice.

The initial questionnaire can take as little as five minutes and the coachee can then spend whatever time is appropriate for them exploring the outputs and coaching stretch.

Important - Our on-line coaching tools are not:

• Psychometrics
• Personality questionnaires
• Myers-Briggs Type Indicator processes
• Team-type analyses
• A way of highlighting your strengths and weaknesses

Exceptional Achievement on-line coaching tools are:

• A way of understanding how you are relating and responding to any given situation at work and what you might want to do to change or improve it
• A reflection of your behaviour in that specific context only
• Defined only by the circumstance you want to explore
• Reliant on you being clear of the context, challenge or relationship you want to analyse

This makes them innovative, different and ground breaking in the field of personal development and coaching

I am truly impressed. This is the first time I have used a tool, which on the face of it asks only a few, very simple questions but which, after testing on three very different real life scenarios, offered analyses and directions which were profoundly accurate. It offered these with meaningful subtleties which gave fine tuning to the options I had to consider.
