Interim Coaching for Professional Excellence: I-CPE™
What is it?
I-CPE™ is a structured approach which helps you identify areas of your business and/or personal life where you wish to make a positive change. The purpose is to enhance every Interim Executive/Manager’s product offering in a confidential and supportive way.
- The coach will discuss the established Interim capabilities with you.
- You can discuss previous, current or future assignments – focussing on the ‘how’ rather than ‘what’
- You will gain insight into your own performance, hot spots, stressors, coping mechanisms, and preferences;
I-CPE™ is a totally independent, objective opportunity for you to take responsibility for updating your knowledge, raising self-awareness and concentrating on self-development in the same way that you maintain professional skills.
Why do it?
| Interim Providers and Clients want to feel assured that every Interim will deliver in the best way possible, every time. | Interims want to enjoy the challenge of the assignment without the pressures from over or under-utilisation, or by trying to meet unrealistic expectations. | The focussed coaching provided I-CPE™ increases self-awareness among Interim Executives and Managers, and guarantees the creation of a positive market differentiator. |
Who benefits from I-CPE™?
- Clients and providers are reassured that an Interim is fit for purpose and that the coaching process contributes to creating a clearer insight for the Interim into ensuring “right assignment fit”
- This provides clarity for all parties on the actual value added to the Client by the Interim – as opposed to just “achieving the necessary tasks”
- Interim Providers recognise the “kite mark” of voluntary coaching - setting the Interim sector apart from consultants or other agency temporary workers.
In order to get the best assignments in this increasingly competitive market, Interims need to exploit their successes and reduce ‘blind side’ professional drift or repetition of inappropriate assignments. Rather than worrying about whether you have made the right decision, speak to a I-CPE™ coach who can help you make the right decisions.
“My coaching made me realise how important it was that I received the same amount of support as my permanent executive colleagues. It offered me the opportunity for a confidential discussion which at the same time gave me additional insight into my performance and any development I may need. What I liked about it most was that I felt that it was designed for my specific needs as an Interim executive”.
“Doing this has helped me to think about how I can work more flexibly across sectors. I was worried about becoming ‘pigeon holed’ and just getting repetitive assignments”
