GAINMORE™ Advantage Executive Coaching

Our business and leadership coaching enables organizations to attain outstanding results by helping leaders to realize their full potential. It produces quantifiable and sustained improvements in leaders' performance and helps them to achieve previously unattainable levels of excellence.  In short, our coaching makes successful people even more successful. That's why it is used extensively across all forms of industry. As the business world becomes increasingly fast moving and demanding, more and more top flight executives are turning to coaching to help them meet and exceed their challenges  Your effectiveness as a manager or executive is inextricably tied to your ability to lead and motivate your team.    

	Great leaders move us. They ignite our passion and inspire the best in us.
	Daniel Goleman

We all want to be proud of who we are - both in our own eyes and in the eyes of others. We all want to make a difference. So how do we go about developing the leader within us?    

	Being a leader changes everything. Before you are a leader, success is all about you. It's about your performance, your contributions. It's about getting called upon and having the right answers. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others. Your success as a leader comes not from what you do but from the reflected glory of the people you lead.
	Jack Welch

Now that is a big transition! Being a leader requires a whole new mindset.  It's easier to recognize performance gaps in others rather than finding those gaps in ourselves. But great leaders recognize the importance of continued improvement and support the concept of a learning organization. Only recently have individuals and organizations recognized that their long-term success is directly linked to the quality of their leaders.  Isn't it time you to set your leadership development plans in motion? Remember: Success comes when we take action. GAINMORE™ Advantage Executive Coaching specializes in helping people learn. We work with individuals from all levels of an organization. We help people transform from employee to leader; from mentee to mentor.    

You can't win at golf by only using one club in your bag.

Leaders need to use various leadership and relational styles. These improve performance and enhance relationships. We work with individuals to deepen an awareness of the vital attrivutes that are required to move ahead. Executives, managers and supervisors learn how to identify and improve leadership gaps - and then create the abilities, behaviours and strategies to close them.    

	What separates those who achieve from those who don't, is in direct proportion to one's ability to ask for help.
	Donald Keough

Our team of professional coaches are here to provide a powerfully rich learning environment and help focus corporate and individual energies to obtain a clear vision of what is needed to achieve their goals.

Our coaching process

The GAPPS³ Assessment

GAPPS³ is our powerful GAINMORE™ Advantage Potential to Performance System. Unlike other leadership assessments, GAPPS³ provides you with a comprehensive profile report showing your competency strengths AND your priority development areas AND links to our unique, interactive online learning system. The GAPPS³ full assessment includes personal feedback coaching (45 minutes) preferably face to face, else by video conference. You will also receive access to the GAINMORE™ Leadership Advantage Toolbox - this covers the foundational modules for each of the 12 areas under the GAINMORE™ model as a full, interactive and supported online learning tool.  Using GAPPS³ enables you and your coach to quickly identify your strengths and development areas so that together we can leverage your talent into areas that require development to achieve your goals and outcomes.

Strategic and Sustainable Excellence Staircase

To achieve your career goals and sustain your desired behaviour outcomes we use a powerful process to leverage your strengths, developing your new behaviours or mindset and embedding these strategies into your 'normal' response process.

How long does it take?

The GAPPS3 assessment will take you about 35 minutes to complete online. Your feedback coaching session will last 45 minutes. It is very likely that you will be given some "homework" by your coach – this might take you an hour, or sometimes 3 or 4 hours.  We recommend a "Coaching Season Pass" for your first coaching engagement. This is a three month (Season) coaching programme with six 45 minute sessions (once every two weeks) or three 90 minute sessions (once a month).

What will I achieve in a Coaching Season?

At this point, it is almost impossible for us to answer because it depends.  You will achieve the Outcomes agreed at the commencement of your coaching season! But what do you want to achieve?  GAINMORE™ Advantage Executive Coaching clients often want to achieve specific career goals – a promotion perhaps, or, more frequently, they have been promoted and now need to develop new leadership behaviours.  Whatever your career or personal goals, the outcomes you achieve during our coaching season are designed to support that achievement.

Who is it for?

• Those who want to learn what it takes to become a great leader.

• Talented management who are candidates in succession planning but deficient in their leadership and communication skills.
