Our Coaching Clients
Our clients are from a range of industries and include heads of business units such as marketing directors, production directors, general managers, etc, as well as board members, directors, MDs and CEO’s.
Every client has different needs and Praesta tailors our programs accordingly, with all discussions between the client and the coach remaining entirely confidential.
Sometimes we recommend that a client obtain additional information before we commence in order to assist us to create an optimal coaching and mentoring program for each particular task. This may include feedback from colleagues, past performance data, and psychometric profiling data.
Our clients usually ask us to obtain this information on their behalf, but that is entirely the client's choice and we have systems in place to ensure all data is totally secure.
The requirements of each client vary considerably, but typically include the following:
- How to develop a constructive leadership style
- The need to meet short term goals
- Planning to achieve long term aspirations
- More effectively rising to daily challenges
- Generating tomorrow's strategic opportunities
- Optimising management of time in and out of work
- Enhancing an executive’s current work performance
- Preparing an executive for their next senior position.
So what are the most in-demand senior coaching scenarios that Praesta Australia is briefed to work on? They can be summarised into three broad categories:
- People who are functionally driven with good technical skills but want to now move from deep knowledge into a broader business team environment.
- People who have just been promoted and need to be able to be given skills to cope with the responsibilities and board-level expectations of the new role.
- People who have been recently hired for a specific role from outside of the organisation and need to be brought up to speed with the culture of the organisation in order to maximise engagement and invigorate shared goals.
