By Context Technologies www.leadershipcoaching-context-technologies.com

Today almost every business is faced with a leadership lag: the time between coming up with a vision or strategy and the time it takes to develop your Leaders capability to implement it. In the times of disruptive changes, incremental improvements and slow academic learning do not work. A leader needs to move faster than the speed of change and often “build the airplane while flying it” The question is: How do you cut the learning curve for your Leaders? We have worked with hundreds of senior executives in Global Fortune Corporations and family-owned Businesses as well as trained almost thirty thousand managers in leadership development seminars and through our one-on-one work as Executive Coaches. Although these engagements were highly rated by the participants, we have come to realize that the traditional paradigm of leadership development based on a list of “canned” corporate leadership competencies and abstract training programs is not only too slow, but is often counter-productive. A REAL BREAKTHROUGH occurs when leaders are coached in the context of a “Breakthrough Vision” - a Vision so ambitious that it cannot be achieved based on past skills and can be only realized by leaders reinventing not just their teams or organizations but also themselves. 1|Page

Vision-based, results-driven coaching is the fastest, most powerful, most profound way to develop leaders.

What “Moving Faster than the Speed of Change” coaching engagement delivers: 1. Helps your leaders re-write the future of their company, team or department 2. Dramatically elevate their own performance and that of their teams 3. Accelerate their leadership and personal development with minimal off-the-job time

…while providing your High Potentials with the ultimate growth and self-development experience.

BONUS BENEFIT: Apart from the obvious benefit of boosting your talent pipeline, sponsoring a Coaching programme sends a powerful message to your people: Most Executives we have coached said they felt “their Company really cares to have invested into them”, and would like to give back.

Many called coaching “the most valuable, even life-altering growth experience they ever had in their entire career”

“This coaching has expanded my thinking, getting me to explore beyond the limits I set for myself. I find a big change in my thinking about my career. I feel that I am back to being very ambitious and “back on track.” I feel that now that I am beginning to play the bigger game and have very ambitious targets for the next year. I find myself actively engaged with the bigger objectives of the team and contributing significantly”. -A. Kumar,VP, Insurance Co

PHASE 1. The “Take-off” Retreat – Leadership Re-BOOT The theme of the 3-DAY workshop is:

You can’t reinvent your business until you, the leader, reinvent yourself

“My coach was pivotal in the Adidas turn around. He asked me a strategic question that no one from a big company like McKinsey would ever ask. “How do you need to grow to grow your business?” -Rene Jaegger, former Chairman, Adidas

DAY 1 Re-inventing the FUTURE - leaders will re-calibrate what’s possible in their business and life DAY 2 Re-inventing YOURSELF –creating Executive Brand with Executive Presence to match DAY 3 Re-inventing RESULTS

Day 3 culminates in participants taking up “Breakthrough Projects” - short-term, quick-win, high visibility projects to be accomplished with existing resources and authority. These Projects must reflect their Executive Brand, stretch them as leaders and produce a significant tangible Business result for their Company. Says a client:

Why do it with us? How is our method different? There is a world of difference between the “Moving Faster” Coaching approach and most of the usual coaching approaches on the market. In most cases, these are the old paradigm of leadership development based on studying leadership characteristics and traits. It is our observation that most abstract training programs produce lots of information but have little impact on people’s leadership ability.

A New, “BREAKTHROUGH” METHOD…

Our method of Leadership development is business connected and results oriented rather than the mechanistic, competency-based approach that we often see today. Coaching is to help you create wins in your business, not about analyzing leadership gaps to death. The best measure of leadership development is the contribution to the bottom line.

OUR USP: We Connect Leadership Development to ROI  The Highlight of the Programme: During a year-long coaching program participants will roll up their sleeves and work on a “Breakthrough project” that will serve as a lab to practice and elevate their leadership. This project is specifically designed to significantly contribute to the bottom-line: save or make more money for your Company.

So how much does coaching cost? IT COSTS NOTHING! Even if just ONE participant successfully completes the Project – your coaching program has paid for itself. The Value you receive far outweighs the cost. Make sure you are deciding on the VALUE. Says a client: “Positive changes that I have taken away from the coaching: Enhanced creativity and actively seeking out opportunities enabled me to initiate two of the largest projects that our group has undertaken ever. The two projects are innovative, done for the first time and were completely my ideas. I have actively led the initiative and presented it to other groups and departments at XL. -A.Kumar , Actuary, VP, XL India  According to MetrixGlobal LLC, a professional services firm specializing in measurement solutions that increase accountability for bottom-line business results, "Coaching consistently produces a 529% return on investment (ROI) and significant intangible benefits to the business"
