Executive coaches play a crucial role in guiding leaders through complex challenges and propelling them towards greater effectiveness. However, just like the leaders they coach, coaches themselves need to be on a continuous journey of personal development. The four inner processes of "growing up," "waking up", "cleaning up" and "showing up" represent key aspects of this development for executive coaches as much as it’s pertinent

for the leaders they coach.

As a coach, you can only coach someone to wake up, grow up,

clean up and show up insofar as you have already woken up,

grown up, cleaned up and are able to show up yourself!

GROWING Up

Moving Beyond Techniques: Coaching is not just about applying a toolbox of techniques. A mature coach understands the underlying psychology of leadership and the dynamics at play within organisations and systems. They possess a broad and nuanced understanding of leadership and it’s developmental aspects.
Taking Responsibility: A mature coach recognises their own limitations and biases. They are committed to continuous learning and self-improvement, seeking feedback and supervision to refine their skills. They are accountable for the impact of their coaching on their clients.

Emotional Intelligence: Coaches need to be emotionally intelligent, able to manage their own emotions and navigate the emotional complexities that arise during coaching sessions. They can hold space for their clients' emotions without being triggered or swayed.

Unresolved Issues: Coaches need to address their own unresolved issues, unfaced fears and personal patterns of thinking, feeling and reacting which no longer serve them. Unchecked baggage can cloud their judgment and hinder their ability to effectively guide their clients.

Waking Up

Awareness of Self: Effective coaches possess a deep understanding of themselves, their values and the impact of their ego on those they coach. This self-awareness allows them to build both presence and a genuine connection with their clients to create a safe space for exploration.

Seeing the Bigger Picture: Coaches need to be aware of the organizational context in which their clients operate. They understand the complexities of VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous) environments and how they impact leadership.

SHowing UP

Authentic Presence: Great coaches bring their whole selves to the coaching relationship, fostering trust and connection. They are genuine, present and fully engaged with their clients.

Embodiment of Growth: Coaches serve as role models for their clients. By embodying a growth mindset and a commitment to continuous learning, they inspire their clients to do the same.

Mastery of Facilitation: Coaches create a safe and stimulating environment for learning and exploration. They masterfully facilitate conversations that challenge clients' assumptions and unlock their potential.
