EXECUTIVE COACHING & HIGH POTENTIAL COACHING
Discover and experience the unique and influential Executive Coaching journey with Emile Neethling. He has personally coached executives from top companies in South Africa. He is the founder of the Karmic Group in South Africa and AGT Coaching in New Zealand.
ABOUT the journey
The Executive Coaching process is a 6 to 12-month leadership growth journey that helps those who want to take their performance to the next level. The successful approach help leaders achieve and sustain positive behavioural change. The process is highly effective, transparent, structured and time-efficient.
The Executive Coaching Process
STEP 1 ASSESSMENT: During the first stage the Executive is partnering with Emile to envision the future they want to create. The Executive is assessed using the Global Leadership Assessment tool to gain insights into their leadership effectiveness. Emile Neethling will shadow the Executive as part of the process as they go about their day-to-day interaction with key stakeholders. Emile will interview the key stakeholder to gain more insights on how to grow the potential of the Executive.
STEP 2 ACTION: After the in-depth Global Leadership Assessment results debrief it's time to design and implement the leadership development plan. The plan will address the gaps and set smart leadership challenges.
STEP 3 ACHIEVEMENT: The Executive will meet with Emile as needed and will use their stakeholders throughout the process to get feedback and gain insights into their development gaps. Emile randomly interviews stakeholders obtaining feedback to determine the level of growth.
High Potential Coaching
Emile Neethling's Executive Coaching process can be tailored for High Potentials. This partnering helps high potentials become more self-aware of their leadership strengths and growth areas. The offering is cost-sensitive but highly effective.
High potential leaders are also assessed using the Global Leadership Assessments completed by key stakeholders to gain insight into their leadership effectiveness. Emile will debrief their custom assessment results over two insightful sessions and the remaining online coaching sessions feature Emile partnering with the leader to help them formulate and implement their leadership and personal development plan. The focus will be on leveraging their strengths and addressing their development needs.
Investment options: 3 or 6 months.
SKILLS DEVELOPMENT
AGT Coaching enables you to train and develop your employees in a way that makes good business sense and aligns with the company's strategic objectives. An organisation must understand what skills and knowledge it already has.
We do a complete skills assessment through interviews and surveys. This information is valuable to optimise the current skills set within the organisation and will assist with determining the skills gaps aligned to company strategy and expected future trends.
Together with the company's HR department, our skills development coach uses the information from the assessment process to build your unique skills development plan.
The skills development plan is then coordinated and facilitated, with measurable outcomes.

HIGH IMPACT LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT FOR SCHOOLS
“Emile's passion and insights for leadership is unmatched. The workshop was well presented and added so much value. We learned that truly great leaders are examples for others to follow and that we should choose our thoughts, words and actions wisely. Emile connected with us on a deeper level and created a safe space for our young leaders to be vulnerable. It added value to our lives and our leaders are now inspired to have a positive influence in the world."

“I liked the calm, relaxed and professional manner in which the workshop was presented. I enjoyed the fact that everyone was able to engage in conversation. The workshop enabled all educators to realise their potential, to embrace the values and develop them on a daily basis. It served as a reminder that we have a responsibility to embrace the values that our school stands for and strive towards significance in the workplace”

ever: Principals are creating the culture,
systems and instructional conditions necessary
for all children to achieve high levels.
Principals strive to improve teaching and
to learn in schools while faced with increasing
challenges. One-on-One coaching is an
effective tool to support the
growth of the principal and increase
