Tailored Executive Coaching for Leadership Growth at a Global Cosmetics Organisation. Empowering Leaders with Insight, Self-Awareness, and Practical Development Strategies for Measurable Impact.
The Brief
A global cosmetics organisation sought executive coaching to support a senior leader in the Asia-Pacific region.
The leader faced significant challenges in guiding a large team during the COVID-19 pandemic. The organisation aimed to enhance the leader’s self-awareness, foster insight, and develop actionable strategies to improve leadership impact and effectiveness. Future Leadership was engaged to design and deliver a tailored coaching program aligned with these goals.
Improvement in Performance
Studies show that executives who receive coaching report a 70% improvement in work performance, according to the International Coaching Federation (ICF).
Increase in Employee Retention Rates
Companies that offer coaching and transition programs during restructuring or layoffs see a 60% increase in employee retention rates, as reported by the Human Capital Institute (HCI).
Faster Reemployment
Outplacement services and career transition coaching can reduce the time it takes for displaced employees to find new jobs by 50%, according to a study by RiseSmart.
Higher Return on Investment (ROI)
The ICF reports that companies receive an average return of A$11.85 for every dollar invested in executive coaching.
The Process
The coaching process began with a chemistry meeting to establish rapport and align expectations between the senior leader and the coach. This was followed by completing the Hogan suite and Hogan 360° assessments, which provided multi-rater feedback to identify the leader’s strengths and areas for improvement.
During the first coaching session, the leader reviewed these assessment results and defined clear, actionable goals for development. The second session delved into workplace challenges, helping the leader set measurable priorities and establish success criteria. Future sessions introduced practical models and frameworks that guided the application of newly developed skills in real-world situations.
The program also included triad check-ins with the leader, their manager, and the coach. These collaborative sessions ensured alignment between organisational objectives and individual progress while providing a space for ongoing feedback and refinement of strategies.
This structured and supportive approach empowered the leader to translate insights into actionable outcomes, strengthening their ability to navigate challenges and inspire their team effectively.
