How Does Nodus Executive Coaching work?
1. Assessment
The first phase of the coaching process involves assessment. Through a series of meetings with key stakeholders, discussions with the individual and assessments, the individual and coach will develop specific goals for the executive coaching program.
2. Development
Through phase two, the individual will focus on addressing specific issues, developing skills, and solving problems that are blocking their career development.
3. Implementation
The final phase is to take action on the areas for development. The executive coaching relationship continues through the implementation in order to provide reinforcement and continued learning as a challenge and unexpected realities occur.
