Who is an executive coach in the Philippines?

An executive coach in the Philippines is someone who helps leaders in a certain position achieve their specific goal in a given situation. The Executive Coaching Process Philippines suggests, he or she must be using his or her vast knowledge, practical wisdom, and wealth of experience to guide the clients toward the achievement of their goal. In the process, he or she helps them by applying behavioral strategies and tried-and-tested method to bring out the best in them.

In other words, an executive coach is someone who listen to you very carefully in order to make you see your blindspots. Thus, you are given an opportunity to see the bigger picture.

How long does an executive coaching last?

Our executive coaching program lasts between one month to six months and sometimes up to one year. It depends on the specific need and goal of the executive client. Sure, it’s not a one-time engagement. Just for the executive coach to know you already takes time.

However, because of our extensive knowledge in our coaching craft, we do make some processes shorter than the usual. That is, without sacrificing the quality of the coaching result.

Step-by-step Guide to Getting Your Executive Coach

1. Have a clear goal. Since you have landed on this page, we assume that you tried to look for a coach. However, you must know what your goals are. One of our clients, who run a Php 2 billion-peso realty company, set a goal: At the end of the program, I must be able to enhance my oral communication skill during networking meetings. That’s clear.
2. Agree on the terms of engagement. During the “getting-to-know” meeting with your coach, agree on the terms and conditions that will be beneficial for both the coach and the coachee. The success of the coaching program depends on this partnership. How long would the coaching program last? Where do you do it? Is it online via Zoom? Is it face-to-face?
3. Choose a schedule. Scheduling is an important part of our coaching success. Find a day or two in a week that you are most relaxed. Choose a specific time when you can focus on the coaching session. Do not let distractions ruin the coaching process.

Basic Qualifications of an Executive Coach in the Philippines

What is the best executive coaching qualification?

Never trust an executive coach without an actual experience in leadership and management. Many “coaches” today simply get a certification in coaching and that’s it. It’s a trap. We have more than 15 years in the business of coaching leaders and managers in the Philippines. It must mean something.

Getting certified is not always being the best. As someone familiar with it, the Executive Coaching Process Philippines gives you some basic qualifications should you need to choose an executive coach:

Consider this:

• Experience. Does he or she has an extensive experience in leading and managing people? If the answer is yes, you’re off to a good start. Executive coaching isn’t paper thing. It must be based on actual, practical, and experiential application of knowledge. One coach can’t teach you to do a certain if he or she has known his or her teaching only on paper.
• Credibility. A quick search on the reputation of your executive coach will come handy. Who is he or she to coach me? What has he or she accomplished? Who are the people and organization he or she has an exposure with? What recognition does he or she has to merit my time and effort to get to him or her? Again, a certified executive coach can sometimes just be another title. You have to get to know the credibility of your executive coach.
• Professionalism. Not all people can handle your story or your situation. In fact, many people may not be in the position to listen to you or hear your case. That’s why you’ve got to get a professional coach in the first place. Does he or she has a professional practice in the area of coaching? Who are the people who may vouch for his professionalism? Does he or she do it using a certain methodology, process, or framework? If the answer is no, then you might want to think again before hiring such an executive coach.

Do I need an executive coach?

It depends. If you feel there’s a need to consider looking at your situation from a different perspective without any bias or judgment, they you need an executive coach. Sometimes, when we are too familiar with our situation and the people around us, the tendency is to trust that everything is ok. However, in reality, it might already be the opposite.

An executive coach is someone who can help you see another perspective. He or she can present parallel scenarios and situation which can help you expand your thinking. It’s through these insights during the coaching process that you get to grow as well as a leader or as a manager.

As an executive coach myself, I normally come into the picture to challenge an existing belief. I love challenging my clients’ perspective so we can arrive at what we can better accomplish.

Many have been said about executive coaching—what it is and what it is not. But whoever you choose, make sure you get your desired result. Otherwise, it’s a bad investment. And a bad investment is still an investment. Choose very carefully.

The Need for an Executive Coach

Why do I need a coach?

We all have blindspots. We have a tendency to be our own fan. Sometimes, we can be tempted to believe our own lies. All these make a great recipe for disaster. Disaster is the last thing you want to happen under your leadership. In other words, you’ve got to have someone by your side for a check-and-balance.

As an executive coach, we care about your well-being. You must be able to be your best self to make sound decisions in your career or business. We help you in that area. No matter how painful, we will tell you what you need to hear. Then, you can deal with situation with more confidence.

Does having a coach mean I’m not good?

It’s no. Another no. And one more no. Three no’s!

Having an executive coach doesn’t diminish your being an executive, a leader, or a manager. On the contrary, it can propel your leadership to reach new heights. Having a coach means you are ready to take bigger roles and you are committed to succeed to achieve that goal.

Michael Jordan. Rafael Nadal. Stephen Curry. Hollywood stars. Name other successful people you know and they all have one thing in common. They all have coaches. That didn’t diminish their greatness. Having a coach unlocked their greatness.

Am I ready to be coached?

This question isn’t for us to answer. Nevertheless, we’d like to assume you are. Nothing easy comes when leadership and management are at stake. Everything is a walk-in-the-forest. But the good news is, you’ve got a coach to help you survive in the forest.

No one is really ready unless they do. We are here for you.
