What We Do

Praesta Australia excels in providing positive outcomes and an excellent ROI on one on one, team by team, and organisation-wide coaching and facilitation at the senior executive level.

We don’t just walk in to a new boardroom with a predetermined path or solution. Instead, Praesta believes in appropriate evolution, where each of the issues can be dealt with as they emerge, in order to maximise the effectiveness of the end result.

Our highly skilled senior coaching experts concentrate on far more than just passing on new skills or developing existing strengths. Praesta corporate coaches deliver a two pronged approach to develop the performance of the individual as well as the business unit run by that individual.

In the case of recently promoted senior executives, we bring them up to speed rapidly in order for them to be optimally equipped to deal with the wide ranging responsibilities of their new role.

It’s not a case of ‘set and forget’ either. We also factor in regular interaction time over the following months to embed the new knowledge, skills, systems and reporting methodologies associated with their new position.

To summarise, Praesta instruct and prepare the way forward for your best people to increase turnover rates, achieve better internal communications, get chosen as top performers for more senior roles, as well as paving the way for more internal collaboration and not wasteful competition.

What We Work On

Our clients rely on us to deliver positive, trackable and accountable outcomes across the board. We help high achievers to develop their people focus and emotional intelligence radars and work with new executive board members to understand their new strategic responsibilities.

We also coach leaders to get the building blocks in place for a higher performing team, transform leaders with lowered levels of self esteem and confidence, and coach new and emerging leaders to adapt to and develop their new responsibilities. It’s all about assisting and motivating senior executives to move from transactional leadership styles to transformational styles.

Many of the senior executives we coach are already high performers, and that’s when our coaches concentrate more on tweaking their skills and communication, and fine-tuning their performance to get to the next level of achievement.

Praesta has a three platform evidence-based approach depending on the specific need… myself, my team, or my organisation.
