    the legacy we leave

    Coaching was once regarded as punitive; a tool to correct underperformance. Today, the picture has shifted. According to a Right Management Consultants survey, 86% of companies say they use coaching to sharpen the skills of individuals; especially their top performers.

    Why is coaching becoming so much a core part of development? The things that characterize a coaching relationship are rarely found in other development opportunities. The coaching relationship is:

    Highly personalized
    Goal-focused
    One-on-one
    Confidential
    Feedback and guidance in real-time

    The Executive Coach, unlike most other parties in an individual's network is:

    Objective and unbiased
    Subject matter expert
    Highly skilled in facilitating learning
    A confidential resource

    Does coaching work? According to surveys conducted by the International Coaching Federation, 98.5% of clients are satisfied with their coach. 83% of clients stay with their coach over three months, with an average working period of six months. Additionally, a survey of 100 executives, mostly from Fortune 1000 companies concluded that a company's investment in providing coaching for executives realized an average return on investment of almost six times the cost of the coaching.

    Individuals benefit most from coaching when new circumstances call for a change in the way things currently are. When success in a new situation requires a new level of polish or skill that has not been required in the past, coaching can be particularly useful. With all the pluses, it is clear that almost anyone can benefit from a coaching relationship.

    For top executives, who frequently receive little, if any, feedback at all, Executive Coaching is often the lifeline to receiving important and reliable feedback. Without the benefit of development coaching, many executives plateau and are unable to achieve the results they desire.

    For top executives, more than anyone else in an organization, coaching can be a vital key to learning and development.

    Beyond typical Executive Coaching relationships, Tero embraces a team-based approach to the highly personalized, coaching relationships in Tero's Infinity Series; especially when the client's goals are complex or diverse. This is an unusual approach to coaching and one that makes Tero unique in its field. The benefits to the client are many:

  • A coaching team guarantees that clients benefit from greater subject matter expertise. Each Tero coach brings their own unique specialties, certifications and experience to the coaching relationship. Since the range of goals identified by the client may be diverse, a single coach cannot be, and is not expected to be, an expert in every area. The client will usually interact with at least two, and frequently several, members of the Tero team, each trained and certified in one or more areas relevant to development.

  • Coaching is not mentoring and therefore benefits from a team model. Mentors have "walked in your shoes" and pass down their wisdom. A coach facilitates your personal and professional growth by asking powerful questions, offering direct feedback and holding you accountable. Mentors often do more telling, coaches do more asking, guiding you to tap your own inner wisdom and resources.

  • Scheduling coaching sessions can be a challenge for the busy executive. A team approach offers more flexibility in scheduling.

  • Regardless of the number of Tero coaches involved, one member of the Tero coaching team serves as the team leader or head coach. This person has the advantage of evaluating the overall progress against goals, assessing the big picture and making recommendations and adjustments as appropriate.

  • Critical to the success of Executive Coaching is an atmosphere of trust and confidentiality. Both the identity of the coaching client and the content of the coaching sessions are carefully guarded by Tero; now and forever. Tero takes its responsibility as a trusted partner very seriously and holds itself to extremely high standards of discretion and confidentiality.
