How can you ensure your Executive Coaching leads to a promotion?

While there's no guarantee that executive coaching will directly lead to a promotion, it can significantly contribute to your professional development and increase your chances of advancement. Clearly articulate your SMARTER career goals and aspirations to your coach. Ensure that the coaching sessions focus on development needs, required skills and behaviors that align with your desired career trajectory and you would surely progress with the actions you take upon clarity and awareness gained during the coaching process.

Any promotion requires the handling of greater responsibilities, but the most important matter is what kind of person is required for the role. Having clarified as much as possible regarding these requirements, it's always a good idea to acquaint the one seeking promotion with the Sovereign Archetype. Reflecting on the traits of the Sovereign, and engaging in a specific set of exercises will awaken and strengthen new levels of vision, responsibility, command. Showing up in the workplace and then at interview with this new energy will provide significant, positive evidence to decision makers who will be reassured that promotion is an obvious next step.

O primeiro ponto é que nenhum Coach pode “garantir” que o processo de coaching vai levar a promo??o! Entendido esse ponto tem algumas quest?es que podem aumentar o sucesso do processo! 1- Alinhar o comprometimento do coachee com o processo 2 - Ter clareza do objetivo a ser atingido e as habilidades que necessitam ser desenvolvidas durante o caminho 3 - Desenhar estratégia e KPIs de monitoramento da jornada 4 - Checkpoints de acompanhamento para comemorar ou recalcular a rota. E por ultimo mas n?o menos importante manter sempre o Life long Learning como estilo de vida. Essa ultima dica vai te manter sempre a frente dos seus concorrentes!

Setting SMARTER Goals doesn't help if there is no followed actions. During the coaching process Coachee gets clarity, awareness and action points. At the same time coach must challenge the coachee to take action and hold the coachee accountable for the actions. Self-reflection, feedback and further discussion in the next session helps move next steps.

Executive coaches ask bold questions to identify development areas for the coachee. This in turn helps coachees prepare the appropriate training plan to add skills required for their growth in an organisation (for example, negotiation skills for leaders). Taking action also includes seeking feedback from senior leaders, and coaching plays an important role here to help increase the coachee's confidence throughout the process.

In the dynamic landscape of professional growth, showcasing your readiness for a promotion requires a strategic approach that extends beyond your day-to-day tasks. Demonstrating readiness starts with excelling in your assigned role. Consistently delivering high-quality work not only showcases your proficiency but also underlines your commitment to the success of the company. Strive to make your contributions invaluable, and let your work speak volumes about your dedication and capabilities.

Coaching highlights the importance of networking within and outside the organisation which leads to being promoted. Coaches challenge the coachee's existing networking skills and help prepare a plan on how to network better to top-down increase visibility in the organisation. Coaching helps coachee's become more confident and collaborative.

Generally speaking, there has to be a position available, now or in the near future, for a promotion to occur. But this isnt always the case. Asking for what you want can help bosses expand their vision of what can be achieved. I have coached an executive to prepare for a position that didn't yet exist, encouraging her to propose the creation of a new role (which her boss agreed to). Within 4 weeks she was offered the role (that didn't previously exist) at a higher salary, higher commission and wider geographical area. Envision the boss. Elevate their anticipation and prove you're the one to make it happen.

I follow a 7-step process as my Coaching Methodology: 1) Clarity on goals/why you want the promotion/what makes you eligible - which helps be visible the right way with the right message at the right forums, and make "the ask" powerfully 2) Exec Presence: truly develop that C-level confidence and presence 3) Powerful Communication & negotiation skills 4) Network and system of allies - so that the key decision makers know and trust you, and put your name forward 5) Your brand - so that people who decide whether you get promoted or not, associate you with the capability to perform at that level 6) Time Mgmt - how you knock off priorities 7) Leadership skills - display the skills needed at that level now!

It isn't for the coach to 'ensure' anything. The coach helps the client create conditions for whatever they're trying to achieve for themselves...

I can't. My clients ensure their own success. I help them become the type of person who does that more effectively. You can give a man a fish, or teach him how to fish.

Es ist wichtig, im Vorfeld zu kl?ren, was die Voraussetzungen und Erwartungshaltung für eine Bef?rderung sind. Dementsprechend kann man durch ein Auftragskl?runggespr?ch mit dem Executive Coach und der Führungskraft klare Entwicklungsziele definieren und darauf hinarbeiten. Entscheidend ist hier, dass sie messbar und nachvollziehbar sind.

Does a high-level athlete coached by the best coaches (mental and technical) have a guarantee of winning all their matches? NO. However, a high-level athlete coached increases their chances of defeating their opponents and, above all, reaching their full potential. It would be misleading to guarantee results in the coaching field. It is more realistic to consider that it is both in the interest of the Coach and the client to give their best in order to achieve the objective (i.e. carreer promotion) defined by the client.
