Executive coaching, a compass in the fog?
.png)
“Am I doing the right thing? “How do I get out of this situation?” “Do I really need to keep going in this direction?” ”
These are the types of questions that all business leaders ask themselves on a regular basis,
Those sleepless nights thinking about, with the “hamster spinning in its wheel”,
These moments “caught in the guts”, asking yourself “What's the point? ”,
And always, to be alone, in the face of unanswered questions.
The solitude of the CEO is an intimate experience that is difficult to share...
And then, faced with all these fears, there is the need to “fulfill your role” as a Leader with teams that trust.
As I recall all these situations, I appreciate the essential role of the “executive coach”, for the success of any entrepreneurial project, regardless of the size of the company.
One who, through his own experience, and his detachment from the contingencies of daily life, can provide insight, a lead... open a door that was hidden until then...
What if in fact, precisely, it was the CEO, the one who carries the vision and the ambition, who most needs to be coached for the success of his company?
A very particular coaching, specific to the profession of CEO...
The “Executive Coach.” This trusted peer, who embodies a lived experience rather than a certificate
“Professional coaching” has been in fashion in recent years.
There are many courses that allow you to become a “certified coach”, mainly focused on personal development and behavioral aspects: communicate well, manage interactions and conflicts, develop your managerial skills,...
Whether internally within large groups, or via freelancers for smaller structures, management and team coaching, which allows the improvement of relational relationships, the development of “soft skills” or better team cohesion, is essential for the well-being and commitment of employees.
However, this type of coaching does not really address the fundamental challenges of the CEO mentioned in the previous paragraph.
For any top athlete (regardless of their individual talent, physical preparation or competitive experience), success and self-improvement require input from outside themselves.
The CEO is this top athlete. The executive coach is this former athlete.
“I've done pretty well so far. The company has developed well, I can be proud of the progress made... but the future seems much more uncertain... so what do I do? ”
“It's shaking in every way, I'm being challenged internally and externally, and frankly, I'm not at all sure I'm on the right track... What if I was completely wrong? ”
“The world is getting so complex... can I really still predict or anticipate anything? ”
2020. COVID crisis. An unprecedented global systemic crisis.
It is no longer possible to ignore the globalized context of uncertainty in which businesses operate.
Economic, geopolitical, social and environmental uncertainties...
An intertwining of uncertainties that generates a situation of polycrisis, or even systemic “permaccrisis”.
The scale and suddenness of the COVID crisis in 2020 took most leaders by surprise.
Although the acute phase of this health crisis is behind us, we continue to evolve in an extremely uncertain global economic context, full of geopolitical, environmental or societal “shocks”.
The question is not whether there will again be a global systemic crisis of the magnitude of 2020 in the near future, but rather when and in what form it will occur...
The sudden storm of 2020 was followed by a thick fog that is not about to disappear, and which requires navigation “by instinct”, in the middle of reefs that we know exist but without having a map.
Now more than ever, and probably more in the future, leaders need to develop a talent for constant adaptability, constant listening to weak signals, and the ability to react in real time.
The challenge for businesses is no longer a search for the best possible performance, but an ability to combine this performance with robustness and flexibility.
From a racing driver, the CEO now becomes a navigator, explorer, adventurer...
“Whatever his talent, the well-equipped craftsman is always more efficient.”
Of Coaches all former experienced CEOs, based on the belief that there is no better sports coach than a former top athlete. Coach Visconti is “The Experienced Navigator”, essential support from the CEo.
A proven methodology that structures a road map, and allows you to project yourself into a future, even an uncertain one. It is “the navigation map” which makes it possible to detect pitfalls and to constantly adapt its trajectory
Tools in the form of pre-packaged workshops around the main challenges of CEOs, providing both a structured framework and flexibility in implementation. These are “Browser tools”, to always know where you are, even in the fog.
Finally, a collective of 50 coaches who work closely together, emulate and enrich each other by sharing their practices and experiences. It is “The starry sky”, always present to help you find your way around.
For the Captain of a ship that is the leader, always alone on a daily basis in the face of vital decisions for his company, in a fluctuating and uncertain environment, the Visconti coach is his experienced and equipped Navigator, his compass in the fog.
So and for you, this captain of a ship, this leader who had the courage to reach the end of this reading...
“What are the questions that keep you up at night? “Do you also sometimes feel lost in the fog? “What is your compass?” Your browser? Your starry sky? ”
What if we took the time to talk about it quietly over coffee?
