Coaching

Executive coaching reinforces learning, leadership development and behavioural change. It gives professionals the tools to become more self-aware, to understand where their skill gaps lie, to work through challenges and blockages and to set tangible goals to improve their performance and progress their careers. Intercultural coaching with LSIC focuses on the international context and is ideal for expatriates, international project managers or global leaders.

Your coach – getting the right fit

We make sure we match each coaching client with the best placed coach to understand their current context and challenges and to help them meet their objectives. We understand that sometimes it’s also a question of chemistry and always recommend a short telephone call so that the coachee can feel comfortable that there is a good fit.

How it works

We usually recommend a minimum of four sessions of 90 minutes over a six week period. Coaching can take place via telephone or Skype but ideally the first session should be face-to-face. This is where we establish confidentiality, build rapport and agree on the focus and goals of the coaching process.

Using the right tools 

We take a broad approach to coaching and use a range of tools to support the coaching process. We often recommend The International Profiler, an online questionnaire and feedback tool which enables individuals to evaluate their strengths and areas for development against a set of 22 international competencies.
