Streamlining Executive Coaching

Time is money!

This morning I was having a chat with my 10 year old daughter and it was the old chat about what superpower would you like… My daughter said how she would like to be able to fly or be invisible then she asked what I would like to be able to do. Straight away I said “Control time”.

Imagine being able to pause everything and get your tasks done or go for a walk etc while the world around you is frozen and then when you were happy that you are up to speed, press play like nothing happened. Even a little rewind feature would be handy too!

My daughter liked the sound of that and so do I. In a weird way, that is what Delenta does for coaches and coaching/training organisations.

• Research by Cognology found that coaches spend an average of 20% of their working time on administrative tasks, such as scheduling, record-keeping, and billing.

Personally from chatting with coaches, ops managers and CEO’s, I think that time is much more. But taking the average of 8 hours a week, that’s 32 hours a month and 16 days in a year.?

We have had clients say that we are saving them up to 20 hours a week which is a whopping 43 days in a year!

In today's fast-paced business world, executive coaching plays a pivotal role in fostering leadership development, enhancing performance, and driving organisational success.?

But at what cost?

Executive coaches often find themselves grappling with unique challenges that hinder their ability to deliver high-quality coaching experiences, such as streamlining their coaching programmes, integrating software efficiently, and making the most of their time.

In this article, I will delve into these challenges from a coach's perspective and introduce Delenta as a transformative solution.

Challenges Faced by Coaches:

• Administrative Overload: As a coach, you likely understand the significant administrative burden that comes with managing your coaching practice. Tasks like scheduling sessions, tracking client progress, managing payments, and maintaining client records can be overwhelming. Precious time and resources can be taken away from what you do best – coaching.

• Integration Struggles: Many coaches rely on multiple software tools to handle various aspects of their coaching programmes. This lack of integration can lead to inefficiencies, data silos, and a lack of visibility. You might find yourself switching between different tools for scheduling, communication, invoicing and data management, making it challenging to maintain a cohesive coaching practice.

• Time Constraints: Time management is a common concern for coaches, and it's not surprising. As a coach, your time is valuable, and you want to make the most of it. Balancing coaching sessions, client meetings, and administrative tasks can be a juggling act. In fact, a recent survey among coaches revealed that 70% consider time management one of their top challenges.
