“I left every session with valuable insights and was able to put many of them into practice between sessions. It was a very valuable experience.”
What Is Coaching?
Coach as Catalyst
The role of the coach is to help the client stay true to their goals, objectives, and commitments. For us, a coach is a catalyst. A coach does not develop people, a coach equips people to develop themselves.
Inquiry
Entering into a coaching relationship involves entering into a context of change and growth. Together, the partnership creates an environment for something to be different, whether that is attitude, perspective, thinking or action. The inquiry context represents the powerful process of deepening the learning. It is a process of discovery and curiosity. The coach asks: What does that mean for you? What is incomplete for you? What would make a difference?
“Building trust and gradually digging into the tough problems I was facing, having my coach constantly challenge me, feeling like I was not getting anywhere at first then realizing momentum was building and I was changing. It was positive stuff - really meaningful.”
Coaching Program Details
The coaching program consists of six monthly, 1-hour long sessions with your dedicated coach. These sessions can be done remotely or in-person in San Francisco. The coachee and the coach work together to define development goals, explore options, and implement actions. The coach guides a process where the coachee systematically explores current conditions and the path forward to develop higher clarity, alignment, impact and commitment, through the series of six targeted monthly 1:1 meetings.
Leadership Assessment for Salesforce
An optional leadership assessment lays the foundation for the deep introspection and self-awareness work of the coaching program. It is conducted before the first individual coaching session. Each participant will complete a self-assessment to reflect upon his or her own leadership ability, strengths, and growth areas. Peer feedback will be collected from individuals nominated by each participant to gain insight from different stakeholders. Input from each participant’s self-assessment and the peer assessment surveys are combined into a summary report of what is working and needs work. The report will be customized to highlight key areas of competence most relevant to Salesforce. The findings will provide the basis for each participant’s individual coaching goals to focus on with their coach.

About Our Coaches
One Size Doesn’t Fit all
Each coaching relationship is unique; coaching is not an exact science. What one person needs is quite different than what another person needs both in hours as well as form and content. Many factors affect the coaching process, including the barriers that the person is trying to overcome as well as their current and future responsibilities and assignments. Each client’s program is customized around numerous factors, and will be unique in its execution.
Though each of our coaches has their own individual style, and customizes each coaching relationship based on the need of their client, all of our coaches utilize the same fundamental processes from our Active Communicating® methodology and coaching certification program.
To apply to this program, please rank your choice of coach - we will try to assign you to your top choice based on coach availability and schedule.
