SERVICE #3: EXECUTIVE COACHING <br />One of the best ways public sector organizations can retain a high -caliber workforce is by investing in an <br />employee's personal and professional development. JGA's executive coaching team is comprised of <br />experienced local government professionals who understand how to support the professional growth of <br />the public servant. <br />Leadership coaching is the process of working one-on-one with an employee, typically an executive, <br />manager, supervisor, or "high -potential" individual in a series of focused sessions to develop their <br />professional impact. The process of coaching is designed to help the participant enhance their workplace <br />self-awareness, tackle blind spots, clarify goals, unlock their potential, and have a trusted source for <br />feedback and guidance. Coaching sessions are designed to provide a means for the participant to clarify <br />and solve problems on their own; promoting ownership and successful implementation of their self- <br />created strategies. <br />JGA coaches subscribe to the "Brief Coaching" philosophy developed by Insoo Kim Berg and Peter Szabo. <br />Essentially, the coach is responsible for ensuring the sessions are focused on results; think SWAT team - <br />get in, tackle the mission, and go home better and stronger. Sessions examine future achievement and <br />support the identification of successful strategies based on past experiences. JGA's coaching approach is <br />solution -focused. <br />Each client engaged in JGA's comprehensive coaching program may participate in the AEM-Cube <br />Assessment to discover their own strengths, opportunities, and place in the greater team context. It <br />provides a robust platform for understanding and unlocking the participant's capacities. By illuminating <br />their unique contributions, coaches can guide clients in harnessing their strengths, both individually and <br />in their interactions with others. (See page 9 for additional information on the AEM-Cube Assessment). <br />Our coaching program typically results in the following: <br />• Movement toward a solution -focused paradigm when addressing challenges <br />• Improved performance and job satisfaction <br />• Enhanced communication skills <br />• Greater accountability <br />• Clarification of professional goals <br />• A roadmap to reach those goals <br />• A deeper understanding of their role within their team <br />• Renewed energy as a stakeholder for their organization <br />
