Personal Impact Coaching
What is Personal Impact Coaching?
Personal impact coaching is a process that can transform the way people in senior roles present themselves effectively and authentically across a wide variety of day-to-day interactions at work. The focus of the learning is on the voice, the body in movement and motionlessness, and the individual’s physical relationship with space.
What happens in Personal Impact Coaching?
Participants are coached on a one-to-one basis: a wide variety of methods will be used to help develop awareness about the signals being transmitted, often unconsciously, through vocal delivery and body language. Individuals are guided to develop a style that is uniquely theirs and flexible enough to be appropriate in a variety of situations – with a style that helps have the impact desired to influence various stakeholders and audiences.
Typically, a participant will engage in two or three impact coaching sessions and will receive a detailed report with on-going recommendations at the conclusion.
Why engage in Personal Impact Coaching?
Many people in senior roles have areas of extraordinary strength, in terms of their interpersonal effectiveness. They may also have areas where they know they are not achieving the impact desired.
Whether the challenge is:
- Delivering key presentations with gravitas and style, with strong messages to large audiences
- Inspiring leadership teams to work effectively and productively with a clear sense of direction, support and strength
- Instantly building rapport and understanding when networking with influential people outside of a formal work setting (analysts, media or other people key to the success of the business)
- Providing a sense of leadership and direction across the whole business
Personal impact coaching will enable participants to develop the appropriate style, assurance, presence and authority; transmitted through body language and vocal delivery. This ensures that a consistent message can be delivered effectively. Personal Impact Coaching will enable individuals to transform the ‘emotional footprint’ they leave on the people around them, contributing to the ability to build and manage more productive relationships at work.
Personal Impact Coaching quite often becomes part of the process within the Organizational Edge Approach to executive coaching.
