Understanding our way of being

Strategic Intention

Strategic intention is an expression of 9 components of strategy and tactics that are used in the B\Coach Development System to create an operational strategy map.  This map of the territory is an opportunity to create shared vision and purpose through an effective means of creating right action: the right people doing the right things in the right way at the right time for the right reasons.

The people going through our coaching system learn to distinguish and help others distinguish the key components of effective leadership in each of the following domains:

• Assumptions/beliefs

• Values/Aspirations

• Vision: Now, near & far

• Guiding Principles

• Purpose

• Strategic Objectives

• Key Success Factors

• Goals

• Standards

We have found that most executives and business owners fail to execute strategy.  There is a lot of difference between knowing and doing and in B\Coach, we focus on getting it done.

VISION

Now

We envision organizations that are awakening to the dichotomy between work and life.  We see people looking into a new world of work where contribution of knowledge and soul are becoming important to the organization.  We are beginning to feel a deeper sense of meaning around being together to get work done and our organizational structures are searching for methods to include the whole person in business.  Coaching has reached a point where it is a viable solution to creating more effective conversations.  Coaching interactions have become important to reformulating how work gets done and how are valued in organizations.  Coaching is impacting the bottom-line in progressive companies and pilot projects involving coaching have sprung up in the organization.

Knowledge about coaching has become more widespread and it is no longer a fad or latest trend in management and leadership.   Organizations understand the value in the bringing the whole person to work and have integrated the use of coaching in recruitment, selection, training and development.  Every key decision-maker in the organization is being coached by a cadre of coaches and coaching has been elevated to the strategic level in organizations--Chief Coaching Officer.  A coaching system is seen as a boundary spanning strategic connection to link the entire organization of stakeholders in order to improve innovation

FAR

Every worker has become key to the organization and has a development plan and a coach.  An effective system of coaching interactions creates innovation, learning and growth and has become the key contributor to organizational success.  All systems are connected through strategic coaching and organizations that have implemented these coaching systems have people lined up to apply for positions.  Emotional competence of the organization is high and people love to come to work.  Organizations influence the social structure of our economy and world and business is leveraging the integration of improved social conditions throughout the world.  Coaching is used in the International Monetary Fund, United Nations and for all leaders in world organizations throughout the world as a preferred manner of improving the response to rising complexity.

Our definition of coaching:

Coach:  is a person participating in a mutually voluntary interaction with neither responsibility, accountability or authority over the outcomes of the person being coached towards a result of mutually desirable performance, generative change and development of the whole person not separate from the systems to which they are connected.

Business Coaching:  an interaction or relationship that occurs between people that produces desired performance, change or transformation in consideration of personal and organizational awareness, purpose, competence and well-being.

Appreciative Coaching: an interaction taking place between a person coaching and either a person or group being coached that is mutually interactive, supportive and appreciative that creates openings (surfacing gaps or variances in behavior that are recognized by both person coaching and person being coached) for generating possibilities, developing plans, previewing outcomes of plans and taking committed action to increase performance, change and transformation, while producing outcomes of awareness, purpose, competence and well-being for all stakeholders.

Where does coaching fit into your life and into your organization?

Business Coaching is a core competence of leadership.  It is the appreciative communication's methodology of leadership.  It reflects a system perspective while providing a core process of building capability at every level in an organization.  Business coaching provides a core competence for organizations and leaders in them to promote development AND PROFITABILITY from increased levels of awareness, purpose, competence and well-being.

Business coaching lowers interpersonal viscosity and improves the number of iterations that can take place between individuals, teams, groups and organizational systems.  This speed of exchange is essential to improving cycle time, increasing speed of adaptation and improvements in innovation that are profitable and leveraging.

The improvement in way people are treated leads to increased levels of contribution, vitality, passion and the willingness to go the extra mile for each other, suppliers and customers.

Business coaching is not designed to replace other process improvement strategies but to catalyze them!  Finance become more efficient with coaching, operations become more profitable with coaching and all areas of your personal and organizational life can be improved with business coaching that focuses intention and attention on what really matters.

What does it take to B\Coach?

People who are passionate about developing others in business systems.  People who want to make a difference.  People who want to work, think and act at levels of what really matters and what is important to other people in business systems.  

People who see that by making a difference in business, we can make a difference in society, in economic and cultural systems not to gain an advantage but to create generative circumstances for people to have better lives.

Business is NOT a dirty word.  In the past, business has been too narrowly focused on producing profits at any expense and the new world dictates we produce a profit and at the same time create generative circumstances for the rest of the world.

Business coaches are all about testing assumptions and beliefs of we personally live and work.  It's not about a separation anymore, but an integration of the whole person in service of humanity through generative business systems.

People who see the difference between performance and development and want to integrate and synthesize both to build results and productive capability in light of compassion and consideration for others are ideal candidates.

It helps if you have a business background, but if you don't and you have the passion to coach in business systems, we can help you learn about business and organizations in our program through the Leadership Foundation™ Program, the CoachMBA™ and MAP$™ (Marketing for Attractive Professionals), three programs that accompany the COACH2 System of appreciative coaching in business.
