Leadership Coaching
Bison Scout offers leadership coaching for those looking to expand their horizons.
What Is Leadership Coaching?
Leadership coaching is a professional development strategy that helps executives and other high-potential employees improve their performance, achieve goals, and unlock their potential. The goal is to improve leadership and management skills, often by developing the individual's self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and ability to influence others.
Leadership coaching sessions involve one-on-one interactions between a coach and a leader. The coach actively listens to help the leader:
Set goals
Gain insights
Develop strategies to overcome challenges and secure opportunities
Understand feedback from assessments
Create and work through a development plan
Address specific business or interpersonal challenges
The Transformative Benefits
Enhanced Self-Awareness & Emotional Intelligence
The coaching process begins with reflective conversations and assessments. We each have strengths, weaknesses and unique styles of leadership. Heightened self-awareness and emotional intelligence contributes to better decision-making and greater empathy. This leads to improved relations with colleagues, customers, and other stakeholders.
Better Job Performance
By providing a confidential and personalized approach to professional development, coaches help solidify goals, identify obstacles, and develop strategies to overcome challenges. The feedback-rich nature of coaching allows the individual to gain insights into their strengths and areas for improvement, fostering continuous growth and success.
Stronger Team Performance
Coaches have a different perspective, looking not only at how the individual can improve their own performance, but how their teams and organizations can improve. The accountability and support provided by a coach can enhance focus and motivation, leading to more effective communication, engagement, and overall team performance.
Healthier Work Environments
Leaders who successfully engage in coaching typically direct benefits back to their organizations by fostering a more positive, collaborative work environment. The “ripple effect” of wellbeing extends beyond the individual experience, to the team.
Coaching To Fit Your Needs
Leaders have busy schedules that demand flexibility. Bison Scout offers customized leadership coaching. From informal weekly conversations to structured monthly meetings, your Bison Scout coach will coordinate and collaborate according to your schedule.
Leaders often wish to bounce ideas off of an impartial coach. At times they may need help managing employees with generational differences. Others seek a coach to challenge them, hold them accountable, and provide support as they forge their new frontier.
Your Bison Scout coach will help you navigate and be your biggest cheerleader.
Leadership Training
In today’s constantly changing business environment, your organization must adapt to keep up with industry trends. If you want to further your professional development, equip your leaders for long-term success, and transform your organization, Bison Scout’s leadership training can help.
What Is Leadership Training?
Leadership training is a structured experience designed to help develop and enhance your leadership skills and abilities. The most effective leadership training benefits you no matter where you are in your leadership journey. If you’re a prospective leader, training can provide foundational skills, such as effective communications, decision-making, and problem-solving. If you’re at the senior level, training can help you learn how to adapt to industry trends and define your company’s mission.*
The Transformative Benefits
Provide Value
Leadership training provides value to your company. According to research by Gallup, effective leadership directly influences profitability, productivity, and employee retention, which are critical to your organization’s bottom line.
Manage Change
Leadership training programs outline techniques you can use to navigate organizational changes and create a culture of innovation.
Handle Resistance
The real challenges of organizational change don’t always stem from technical or logistical issues but from people resisting it. Research from the Institute of Public Relations shows that an estimated 70 percent of organizational change efforts fail because of employee resistance. Thus, it’s vital to become an organizational leader who can handle challenging workplace dynamics.
Cultivate Stakeholder Buy-In
Cultivating buy-in for an initiative requires proving its value to stakeholders. Bison Scout leadership training will offer methods to help ensure your team supports your strategy.
Training To Fit Your Needs
Just as each organization is unique, Bison Scout tailors leadership training to fit the organization. Training scenarios range in timing, frequency, format, and size.
Organization’s may need onboarding training for new hires or regular, ongoing leadership training for a small department. At times, the organization may wish to host an engaging, off-site, full team staff retreat.
Bison Scout will curate a leadership training program made for you.
