In 2014, the Institute for Employment Studies (IES) of the United Kingdom and the James Cook University of Australia conducted a survey among 296 executives who had recently received coaching. This study was carried out with executives from 34 countries and various industries. The results are very much in line with other studies on the perception of the effectiveness of coaching by the coachees (such as the International Coach Federation survey):
– 90% of respondents described their coaching experience as effective or very effective.
– 96% would participate again in a coaching process.
– 98% of the participants would recommend coaching to their colleagues.

What is a coach?
As a coach, my role is to accompany, serve as a mirror, confront and support the executive, so s/he is able to walk the road from where s/he is now and to where s/he wants to go.
I believe that, as an individual, the executive is a complete being, full of resources and wisdom, seeking to expand his/her consciousness; my role is to accompany him/her to open spaces of possibility to create an exciting future, based on decisions and actions s/he takes in the present.

How does executive coaching work?
Please find a brief summary of an executive coaching process:
STEP 1. INITIAL INTERVIEW WITH SPONSOR. (1 session) There is an initial virtual or face-to-face interview of approximately 60 minutes, in which the coach and the sponsor (company that will cover the coaching process of the executive) discuss about the background and reasons of this coaching process. The process expectations and conditions are clarified, the roles of the sponsor, the coach and the executive, the coach´s code of ethics and any other question that may arise about the process.
STEP 2. INITIAL INTERVIEW WITH EXECUTIVE. (1 session) In this initial virtual or face-to-face interview of approximately 60 minutes, the expectations and conditions of the process are clarified, the roles of the sponsor, the coach and the executive, the coach’s code of ethics and any other questions about the process.
STEP 3. REVISION AND APPROVAL OF THE AGREEMENT. (Approximately 1 to 3 sessions) In these weekly sessions, the coach and the executive explore the executive’s general objective for the coaching process, as well as the topics that need to be addressed to achieve it; they work together on progress and success indicatorss, which will be part of the Process Agreement. The Executive will present to the sponsor this Agreement, goals and success measurement indicators, so that both coincide in the general objective and the topics to be addressed, being able to suggest changes on the part of the sponsor. With this feedback, the executive and coach will redesign the agreement if needed, further detailing the goals and indicators; the Executive will present the agreement again to the sponsor until the latter approves it.
STEP 4. COACHING SESSIONS (Approximately 5 sessions). In these sessions, whose frequency is weekly, the topics outlined in the Agreement are explored. Each session will have an objective defined at the beginning, which allows the executive to see their own progress.
At the end of each session, together the coach and the executive will establish tasks, which represent the actions to be carried out to advance the process and which the executive commits to do before the next session. The success of the process depends very much on the executive performing the actions discussed during the sessions and the tasks form a large part of this effort.
STEP 5. FINAL COACHING SESSIONS (Approximately 4 sessions). These sessions, whose frequency is every 15 days, allow the executive to integrate the advances and what has been conscientized so far, so that he can internalize a new way of doing and being.
STEP 6. FINAL INTERVIEW WITH SPONSOR. In this meeting, the executive´s achievements are analyzed based on the Process Agreement, the goals established as well as the indicators initially outlined. This allows the process to be measurable and the impact that the coaching process has had can be assessed. The coaching process is finished.
What is my added value as Executive Coach?
Having gone through the different management levels and executive development for an international chain, I understand the various challenges faced by current executives: the group dynamics in which they are immersed, as well as the pressure to meet goals and obtain results.
As a coach, I have the tools to support the executive´s growth and expansion, integrating new leadership dynamics and assertive communication skills; I accompany her/him in the uncertainty of changes, exploring options to effectively manage the levels of stress inherent in their activities so that a positive and extraordinary impact on productivity and business results.

Testimonies
Gabriel R. Tulum, México.
I was very lucky to be coached at a crucial moment in my career, when I was facing a great opportunity for learning and growth, but like every new stage in life there are always fears, doubts and uncertainties; coaching was and is a journey of deep and conscious self-discovery. Being able to unlock and discover the potential I have in me to gain understanding of my tools gave me the confidence and determination to move forward. Coaching not only provides light for the path (light that comes from ourselves), but also reveals a much broader horizon, giving vision and confidence for the future. I hope that all those who seek to be leaders not only in their jobs but in their lives, will find Ruby on their path. “-
Ariel M. Tulum, México.
Before starting the executive coaching process, I had a lack of self-confidence and insecurity that if the tasks I was doing corresponded to me doing them or were delegable. From the sessions, I was able to delegate all these tasks, without guilt or remorse, to be able to focus on issues that really required my participation. I learned to identify and differentiate important tasks from urgent ones. I began to manage my time better to the point of being able to leave on time instead of staying after office hours. I managed to improve the quality of my relationships both vertically and horizontally in my work environment. I even addressed and resolved personal issues that somehow affected my work day. I was able to visualize a long-term goal that motivated me. I don’t think I was skeptical when I started coaching, I always trusted that we would arrive safely to my objectives and I enjoyed the process.”
Laura B. Tulum, Mexico.
Through the coaching process, I was able to connect and recognize my abilities as a leader, in addition to knowing and developing tools that allowed me to improve and be more effective in my responsibilities, as well as with my work team. I also received moral support from an emotional maturity perspective to evolve and improve different operational and management situations. I have always believed on the processes of coaching and professional help, the coaching process for me is a very good tool for the ethical and moral development of today’s leaders. ”
