our philosophy

All executive coaches within the Locher Coaching Consortium share a common philosophy. This is reflected in the following key values: 

• We respect the confidentiality of the individuals we work with.
• We establish a true partnership based upon trust with individuals in the coaching relationship.
• We establish an agreed coaching plan which clearly establishes both the coach's and the individual's expectations and ground rules.
• We openly challenge assumptions and self-limiting blockers.
• We seek to understand the challenges the individual faces both at work and in other areas of their life.
• We use a systems approach which examines the impact of all key stakeholders in the issue or areas for development.
• We openly share our experiences and expertise but do not impose these as 'solutions'.
• We encourage the individual to drive their own development program and be accountable for it.
• In all cases we encourage the identification of an appropriate mentor and support increased networking within the broader organisational community.
• We measure outcomes, celebrate successes and use 'failures' as points of reflection and learning.
