Making An Executive Leadership Coaching Program

By Marissa Velazquez


Executive leadership coaching programs are usually done by companies who would want the people in the managerial level and the executive level to be able to improve their skills. These programs are usually done for those who have just entered these types of levels. Now if one were to create a program like this, here are some of the things to take note of.

Step one in making a program like this would be to know who the target audience would be meaning the participants. More often than not, the ones who would attend seminars like these would be those who have just reached the above said levels. It is good to know this so that the speakers and hosts can adapt to how the audience would want them to.

Now before even conducting the seminar, one of the things that one should do would be to find out some specific problems in that level. Through some interviews or surveys one will actually be able to find out a lot. If one would want some in depth feedback, then maybe some focus groups will be really good.

When the seminar would begin, the first thing that the speaker must do would be to simply jot down some of the roles of the executives or mid level leaders. It is very important for them to know what is expected of them in order for them to be able to set goals. By knowing what they are supposed to do, they will be able to have a better approach in the future.

Of course there are certain skills that should specifically be acquired by those who are a part of these levels in a company. Some skills such as decision making, problem solving, effective communication, and organization development are some of the things to be learned. Since the ones in these levels are leaders, then it is important that they have the traits that the leaders would also have.

Now the meat of the entire seminar would be the discussion of the problems that the program committee discovered beforehand. Just now, general topics were tackled in order to give the participants an idea of how they should be able to act and certain skills were also discussed so that work will be more efficient. Now, the specific problems in these levels will be discussed so that solutions may be made.

Some last reminders for the program committee would be to remember to never host just a lecture. A lecture may be good for this type of seminar but it must always be supplemented with a lot of activities. By engaging the crowd with activities, they will be able to grasp the message and will also see how to better put themselves in the situation in order to improve and become more efficient leaders.

So if one is a part of the program committee of a company and is tasked to make an executive leadership coaching program, then here are some tips on how to. In order to make a good and engaging program, then the program committee has to be creative. They should know how to be able to know how to properly impart knowledge and skills to the participants.
