High-Performance Coaching

Coaching Key Talent

Leaders are the principal shapers of an organization's culture.  What they do and how they interact with others is critical to the organization’s success. AAI'S Leadership Coaching program is an in-depth process designed to help leaders develop specific skills and behaviors that lead to improved effectiveness.  The emphasis is on developing and honing practical skills for immediate application. 

What is the Process?

The Coaching process involves five steps:

  1. Assessment.  An analysis of the individual’s competencies and behavioral styles.  This typically includes 360° Assessment, behavioral questionnaires, 360° interviews and/or direct observation.
  2. Action Planning.  The creation of a focused Development Action Plan.  The manager and coach work together to develop this focused and highly-relevant plan of action.
  3. Coaching Sessions.  One-on-one coaching sessions by highly seasoned coaches.
  4. Phone Consultation.  The availability of the coach on an as-needed basis helps connect the initial Coaching Sessions and Progress Update Sessions.
  5. Progress Update Sessions.  The coach provides a practical progress review with recommendations for future improvement.  At the final Progress Update Session a Targeted Coaching Report is provided.
