Exceptional Executive Coaching

“The Conversational Intelligence framework and tools are helping me to transform my workplace conversations from low trust and protective interactions to high trust collaborative conversations with people. Engaging the resources assists me to achieve a more transformational level of conversation characterised by mutual insight, wisdom and trust. Conversational Intelligence is having a significant impact on the quality of my relationships with colleagues and allowing me to feel better about myself while achieving innovative outcomes with my team and stakeholders. Even better, Conversational Intelligence is having a positive impact on my conversations outside of work as well”

“I found Robert very professional and easy to learn from with lots of experience in human relations.
I was very satisfied with the coaching program as it helped me mentally cope with my daily dealing with people.
It also helped me in managing my stress and to delegate work.

The coaching program has made the following now possible for me:.

  • Taking more control in my work environment.
  • Being more honest with people and letting them know what I think, rather than accepting their view and resenting it later.
  • In a nice way, present my ideas for discussion or negotiating.
  • I try not to sweat the small stuff, whether it is an issue with one of my staff or a difficult client
  • I try to explain my ideas with candour and sincerity for a mutual outcome for both.
  • Generally I now communicate better with my employees.”

EXCELLENT FEEDBACK ON EXECUTIVE CAREER COACHING PROGRAM

Program Rating: Extremely Satisfied

The best learnings from the program were:

  1. Gaining an industry/HR perspective has helped me better target my content and style.
  2. Confirmation and/or correction of one’s approach has helped my confidence during the process of seeking employment elsewhere

The program increased my effectiveness in applying for vacancies and thus increasing my efficient use of time.

I feel it is now possible to produce effective and above par applications for vacancies within both the public and private sector job market.

Roberts’s personality, style and engagement are great. It made me feel like I was being mentored and not just coached.

Recently I had the pleasure of working with Robert in the AHRI Mentoring Program. I found Robert to be an experienced professional coach and mentor, with a caring and understanding approach and willingness to help provide solutions to challenges.

My best learnings from the coaching program were gaining an understanding of how to control emotion and of my reactions to situations and how best to deal with those and overcome them.

The mentoring program with Robert provided me with confidence in handling challenging situations and exploring techniques to overcome emotions and remain focused.

It is now possible for me to step up and meet challenges with confidence.

Feedback on Best learning from Program Evaluations for Executive coaching programs

  • I have become more mindful of my personal style and the impacts my interactions have on others; and of others’ styles and their preferred ways of receiving and processing information. The awareness of others’ needs and the understanding of their expectations are key ingredients for a win-win outcome.
  • Robert consistently delivered high quality work and was timely in his feedback on progress and thematic analysis of key development issues for the leadership cohort.
