Matching each participant with a career next step, the associated requirements, a facilitator, and stakeholder(s), provides guidance for each coaching cycle. This process ensures that each participant is being coached in the right direction, on the right things, at the right time, with support from the right people.

Identifying specific goals for each requirement is the basis for actionable coaching. Our goal setting process helps each participant set appropriate growth milestones to work towards, with the support of their facilitator.

Breaking goals down into specific tasks provides day-to-day guidance for personal development activities. Our task management tool helps participants keep track of each goals’ related progress, plans, and problems, with the support of their facilitator.

This also provides the outline for productive coaching sessions. Our toolkit creates a ready mechanism for each participant and facilitator pair to meet to review goal statuses, celebrate progress, plan the next tasks, and brainstorm how to overcome problems.

Coaching Reviews summarize all of the above information for relevant stakeholders. Participants are able to share their growth with a broader group of supporters who are invested in their career development.

All the steps above are designed to give any organization a world class career coaching program. Executed properly, this program brings predictability, objectivity, consistency, efficiency, and effectiveness to the important work of building individual careers across an organization.
