2. 60 Seconds
Overview
There is so much happening in the business world today
that it is hard to stay current on new ideas and
innovative thinking
For large companies, even those with robust formal
training programs, external peer advisory groups can
play a major role in maximizing collaboration and
alignment within the company
For the businesses, it’s often a brilliantly effective stand-
alone solution for developing people and growing the
enterprise
Coach-In-Corporate offers vital solutions for the most
pressing issues encountered by organizations and CEOs
in all industries today
You will gain invaluable insights from a trusted group
of peers in a highly confidential environment, once a
month

3. CEOs and MDs often struggle with both professional and
personal issues, to the detriment of company
performance and their family life
Teams and leaders are getting more dysfunctional of
trust, transparency and dialog (especially in larger
organizations)
Rules of running large organizations have changed and
the pressure of performance is much higher and cut-
throat
CEO and Senior Leaders are feeling more lonely at the top
with no-one to share their thoughts and frustrations
They need somewhere where they can be open and free
to talk without worry of being judged or threatened
Challenges

4. Senior leaders are looking for a place where they can be
open and free to talk without worry of being judged or
threatened
The power of Peer Groups in such organizations could be
absent and non-functional
An outside independent gathering is much more effective
and produces bigger and quicker results
CEO’s and leaders are trying hard to develop their
strengths to fulfill their role in the ‘Driving Seat’ of the
company
Challenges

5. Solution
How Peer Advisory groups can solve your pain and problems ?
o Learn from one another solutions to new and old
problems and challenges
o Focus on both their business and personal life
o Advantage of getting up to 14 ideas and
recommendations rather than the one!
o CEOs can expect to gather critical insights,
candid feedback and real-world/real-time
business perspectives
o Such powerful group meetings help business
leaders to align their executive development
efforts with business objectives
o The final result is better leaders who make better
decisions and get better result
o A place where people talk more about their
issues than their success
o A place where leaders don’t pretend that
everything is going well and there is no issues
with their business
o A place where they can be 100% authentic and
honest about themselves and their business
o A place where they get challenged on things they
don’t want to be challenged on
The distinguishing element of the peer group is value received. Peer group members seek to:

4. 360 degree leadership interviews - focusing on the behavioural
aspect of the CEO and help him/her improve certain behaviours
and team building
5. Periodic expert presentation and discussion session in areas of
interest to the senior leaders - CEO’s know that they need to learn
and grow
6. Annual peer group retreat - these retreats will strengthen bonds
while solving problems, bolster relationships and build consensus
among the group

9. Profile of the Peer Group
participants
- 8-14 CEOs, MDs and Senior Leaders

- Willing to change and accept straightforward and sincere constructive
criticism

share openly and receive a great deal of guidance

10. The first session - the Kick-off exercise
• Significant events session.
• Everyone has the chance to speak and bring
the group in a ‘present mode’
The second session - a Business Overview
• A presentation done by the hosting member
each month, on any critical issues or changes
needed in their business
• This is a ‘cross-fertilization process’ at its best!
The third session - the ‘Executive Round Table’
• All members share with one another the
issues, challenges, opportunities, etc. with
which they are dealing
• Recommendations and powerful suggestions
are given by the group based on their
knowledge and vast experience
• People walk away from the round table with
thorough advice and recommendations you
can immediately act upon
How it works
The monthly day-long group meetings are segmented into three main parts:

11. Coaching will focus on:
o Work on key behavioural issues
o Conducting needs assessments
o Defining functional competency models
o Implementing learning strategies and solutions
o Measuring results
o Where are we going as a business?(e.g. sales,
marketing, customer situation, competition, market share,
profits, bottom-line etc.)
o Where are you going as a leader?
o What is going well?
o What are the key suggestions for
improvement?
o What is the most important thing needed to
learn and work on in the next 30 days?
One-to-one Coaching
Confidential, one-to-one executive coaching and leadership development sessions take place during the
month:

12. TURNING 360 DEGREE FEEDBACK INTO “POSITIVE CHANGE’”!
We apply Dr. Marshall Goldsmith’s approach (recognized as the # 1 ‘Leadership Thinker’ and one of the top
5 ‘Management Thinkers’ in the world) where the focus is not purely on the past but it concentrates on
suggestions for the future!
At the executive level, few direct reports want detailed instructions on how to do their work. What they
want is ongoing communication with their executives concerning the "big picture”, how their work is
making a difference and suggestions on how they can improve.
Results from the 360 degree leadership assessment allows one-to-one leadership coaching and team
building where the focus is not on “feed-back’’ (resistance to negative feedback about the past) but rather
more on “feed-forward’’ (positive suggestions for the future)
Effective executive coaching assist the leader to help direct reports be "right" tomorrow, as opposed to
proving they were "wrong" yesterday
The key to helping you turn 360 degree feedback into meaningful behavioural change is for you to follow-
up with your co-workers.
