At International Business Mentors we use Executive Coaching as an integral part of Business Mentoring. In a true Business Mentoring or coaching relationship the Business Mentor will guide their mentee through a process of change towards agreed objectives. The approach our mentors take is holistic and covers many aspects of the business and the individual. Whilst there are a many of areas in which a well matched Business Mentor can assist executives, the most common areas involve a mix of the following:

• Transitional
• Leadership
• Relationship Building - Senior management, peers, reportees
• Switch in dynamic

• Enhancing and Embracing Change
• Realistic goal setting
• Career development
• Behavioural changes
• Effective team development

• Communication and Presentation
• Delegations and influencing
• Time Management, Balance of business and private life

As well as the technical aspects covering: Marketing, Finance, People or HR, Customer and Competition, and Operations. To be effective, an Executive Coach must have expertise experience in a wide range of organisational structures and business cultures. He or she must have the background, skills and relevant qualifications necessary to guide executives to achieve their goals. The success of the relationship will also come down to matching the executive with an Executive Coach who they easily relate to and have a rapport and trust, and commitment to change and develop.

An Executive Coach is a confidential sounding board, who will encourage, motivate and challenge the individual to reach their potential, or see things from a new perspective.

Many organisations provide internal mentoring programs. Whilst any well meaning assistance can be of some benefit, the fact that the people providing the mentoring/coaching may not be entirely independent or confidential or be the right person with the right expertise, can limit the effectiveness of such campaigns.

At International Business Mentors we routinely select and provide Business Mentors or Executive Coaches to executives in companies. Executive Coaching is a sub set of Business Mentoring, in that the parameters tend to always include these major components: leadership, strategy, performance, transition, relationships.

To be effective and add value, Executive Coaching needs to be individually assessed and carefully matched.
