“All coaching is, is taking a player where he can’t take himself.”
- Bill McCartney
Potentia offers Executive Coaching from a strength based perspective wherein the coached/
mentee’s strengths are leveraged to the maximum in realizing her/ his potential. The hall-mark
of this approach is that throughout the coaching process the executive enhances her/ his self
esteem even while embracing deep personal/ professional change.
Depending on the organization/ individual executive and appropriateness the coaching plan and
sessions are customized.
The overall approach would entail
Identify & articulate the purpose of coaching assignment e.g. - specific behavior(s) to
improve, specific competencies to be honed (e.g. assertiveness) or specific outcomes (e.g.
collaborative behaviors among team members); this is based on assessment made by
Executive himself or
The sponsor (e.g. a CEO)
Feedback (e.g. 360° Method)
Discover & share values of the coach and the executive
Deepen the self awareness thru coaching dialogue and/ or instrumented feedback e.g.
FIRO-B, MBTI, Belbin, etc.
Establish congruence between individual and the organizational goals
Catalyze personal growth through the executive gaining insight about her/ his potential
Facilitating the executive’s ability to trigger the influence on the environment and assume
leadership responsibility.
