LEADERSHIP, EXECUTIVE AND BUSINESS 

COACHING AND MENTORING SERVICES OFFERED

I offer a professional leadership, executive and business coaching and mentoring service to individuals and teams at executive level as well as at lower management and specialist levels within organisations (government, private sector and non-government organisations), small business owners, and to private individuals. I bring my diverse background, knowledge, skills and years of experience to my mentoring and coaching practice. I have coached and mentored locally in South Africa and internationally.

Mentoring and coaching is about understanding the present and how to shape one’s future more positively.

Leadership, Executive and Business Coaching & Mentoring: A Value-add Proposition

I was, and still am, incredibly lucky to have had excellent mentors and coaches (both formal and informal) who have played a major role in my development as a business woman and in my personal life. I therefore personally know and appreciate the true value of a good mentor and coach. Such value created by mentoring and coaching accrues to both the individual in her / his private life, as well as where the individual is an employee, to the organisation in terms of an appreciable return on investment (ROI) through inter alia having a more fulfilled and happy staff member, as well as through the achievement of increased performance and output.


My Approach towards  Coaching & Mentoring

My definitions of mentoring and coaching are as follows:

- Mentoring: When a role model, or mentor, offers support to another person. A mentor has knowledge and experience in an area and shares it with the person being mentored. The approach is a directive one which focuses on the mentor teaching the client best practice and sharing lessons applicable to the client's needs. The "work: is therefore predominantly done by the mentor to teach the client. (Source: The Coaching Community Academy)

- Coaching: A professional, collaborative and outcomes-driven method of learning that, [through reflective conversations], seeks to develop an individual [or team] to enable them to find their own solutions. This is achieved by raising their self-awareness [and creating sustainable key shifts in cognitive, behavioral and emotional competence] in order to [unlock their full potential and to excel]. The approach is non-directive and focuses on the coach facilitating for the client an awareness raising and learning process. The "work" to reach a new level of awareness and to change what needs to be changed, is therefore done by the client. (Source: Comensa, adjusted by M. Hanekom)

Depending on the needs of the client, sometimes the focus of the individual’s or team's journey is more geared towards a mentoring action programme which will lead to increased skills, knowledge and job performance to comply with that person’s or team's job descriptions (current or immediate future job) and other times the predominant focus is coaching towards a general awareness raising related to whatever circumstances are relevant in the person’s and team's life at a specific point in time and to develop an action programme to deal with these challenges.

I strongly believe that a mentoring and coaching journey can only be successful if it is well understood that this process will involve a concerted effort by the client to participate in a dedicated way and to, in fact, take ownership of the process.

Mentoring

When mentoring, I ensure that I understand exactly what the client's needs are and then agree on a mentoring programme to ensure optimal transfer of knowledge and skills takes place.

Leadership, Executive and Business Coaching

When coaching, I also ensure that a clear upfront needs analysis is undertaken as part of the formal intake process with the client and from this devise a personalised development intervention to suit the client's needs.

I base my coaching on the psychological premises of the Humanistic approach (i.e. Rogers, Maslow: person-centred, holistic, personalised.) It’s about unlocking potential of people who are unique beings and generally good in nature. The coaching emphasis is on assisting & motivating coachees to grow and change in order to reach their objectives. This school is my main theoretical base and provides good start for coach/coachee relationship & building trust but I also use the following two schools of psychology to ensure a comprehensive approach towards coaching.

-  Existential approach (i.e. Frankl, Yalom) which has as its point of departure that we are all individuals with unique challenges and confronted with existential concerns, such as freedom, responsibility, meaninglessness and authenticity. During the coaching sessions, the coachees are given an opportunity to reflect on the challenges they are experiencing & decide on a course of action to address these.

-  Cognitive Behavioral approach (i.e. Allport, Ellis) which deals with internal processes – thoughts, feelings, beliefs, etc – that result in behaviour.The coach and client work collaboratively to assess current belief systems, gain awareness of the connections between situations, feeling states, and automatic thoughts and behaviors.” (Good, Yeganeh & Yeganeh). The focus in on achieving long-term behavioural change.

-  Retirement transitioning. The coaching approach is based on the coaching provided, and accredited, by Retirement Options, a division of Career Partners International, LLC the industry leader in retirement coach certification and retirement readiness assessments, based in the USA. Madi Hanekom is an accredited retirement coach.
