HPT Leadership Coaching
Individual Executive Coaching Programs
1. What Are Individual Executive Coaching Programs?
School Leaders are constantly juggling the strategic, operational and supportive demands of not just their leadership team but of the whole school. On top this, school leaders also face massive personal wellbeing challenges with a much higher likelihood of suffering from depressive, anxiety and stress symptoms than the general population. The challenges many school leaders face could be summarised by the phrase ‘trying to keep all the plates spinning’.
HPT Individual Executive Coaching Programs are a tailored series of 6-8 individual coaching sessions held over 6-12 months which provide school leaders with reflective space, support, accountability and an opportunity for further growth and development.
The Focus of HPT Leadership: Strategic, Supportive & Self Leadership
Being an effective School Leader requires us to be able to: (1.) work ‘supportively’ with those we lead as well as work ‘strategically’ on our school improvement priorities and day-to-day operational responsibilities – all the while making sure we look after our ‘self’ care – optimising our own wellbeing.
Thus the focus of HPT Leadership Coaching is to 1.) ensure leaders are able to maintain clarity and focus on the three inter-connected leadership domains of: Strategic Leadership, Supportive Leadership & Self Leadership as well as 2.) problem solve current challenges and 3.) proactively grow and develop their leadership capabilities.
2. How Do HPT Individual Executive Coaching Sessions Work?
HPT Individual Executive Coaching Sessions are run one-on-one, face to face either virtually or onsite. A typical coaching session runs for 60-75 minutes with the timing frequency adjusted flexibly - pending individual preferences and needs. Often sessions are closer together (weekly/ fortnightly) during the establishment phase and then more spaced out (monthly/ bi monthly) in the growth and development phase.
HPT Individual Executive Coaching Sessions focus on developing an individuals strategic, supportive and self leadership capabilities as well as problem solving current challenges and pursuing relevant growth and development goals. Sessions are led by a HPT Master Coach who uses a structured agenda to ensure that sessions are inclusive, supportive, proactive, strategic and accountable. Each coaching session is highly focused with leaders able to rapidly identify their most critical issues through completing a personal Leadership Update Tool pre-session. An annual HPT360 Leadership Feedback cycle is also recommended for optimal growth and development.
