Corporate Vision January 2017

, High standards and quality always have and always will be the starting point for the Academy of Executive Coaching. The firm believe that all organisations and their people should have the opportunity to flourish, as the AoEC values the individual and respects that each journey for their clients is unique. There is no such thing as a ‘one size fits all’ approach, and AoEC’s clients and participants are offered the opportunity to own their development and tailor it to what works for them in a supportive environment. This is what brings about the personal and professional growth and incredible transformational results that those who have availed of the training have witnessed. The Academy of Executive Coaching’s aim is to bring about positive change in human interaction and communication, so as to deliver an improved triple bottom-line for organisations with a focus on results, relationships and reputation. The team at AoEC feel strongly that companies who insist on focusing solely on profit will not be around in the next 10 years. AoEC believes that change needs to happen in the form of a more collaborative, distributed leadership style, where employees are responsible for Driving a Coaching Culture Worldwide The Academy of Executive Coaching Ltd (AoEC) exists to provide both the highest quality accredited coach training to individuals and tomanage culture change at all levels of an organisationwith both small and large scale developments.

They believe this level of autonomy can be applied for a more empowered and motivated workforce, where individuals are supported to draw on their own insights and knowledge to come up with solutions, rather than operating in a command and controlled environment. AoEC recognise that there are a number of issues facing HR and training teams today, which include a lack of transparency in communication, difficulties in developing talent to align with meeting business objectives, and struggling to create a company culture that motivates, attracts, empowers and retains talent, to name just a few. AoEC’s team of professional consultants and highly skilled faculty all have a strong business background and a passion for people, which enables the AoEC to stay relevant and passionate about supporting HR and T&D professionals in facing these challenges. Another of the major assets of the AoEC is their ability to design programmes that get to the heart of what is outlined as a need. The faculty and consultants combine master level psychological experience with extensive business leadership and coaching expertise, whilst maintaining their focus on ensuring that they deliver on the personal and/or organisational objectives. The increased return on expectation provides a competitive advantage when partnering with the AoEC. The challenge for the Academy of Executive Coaching is encouraging people to challenge themselves and their organisation, and to be confident in doing so. The team at AoEC supports their development so they are able to manage the critical relationships that assist in driving change. The firm’s high-quality training is triple- accredited by leading coaching bodies; the ICF, EMCC and AC. The team at AoEC notes that one of the factors driving this necessary shift from what was previously described as ‘The Wild West of Executive Coaching’ is accredited coach training. This is crucial to the success of the coaching industry, the coach practitioners and their coaches; research shows that it is no longer good enough to call yourself a coach without the proper credentials. Although the AoEC is a virtual organisation, whose business hub is in London, their business is far reaching across the UK and internationally, with partners operating in Scotland, Ireland, Boston, New York, Brazil, Croatia, Germany, Estonia, Romania, Turkey and East Africa. The world is becoming a smaller, more connected place with advances in technology, which is enabling teams to communicate across time-zones and continents. It also means the need for leadership development and coach training is a global requirement, causing AoEC to continually strive to develop their partners so they can best service the needs of organisations across the globe. The team’s vision revolves around changing the world and those involved fully appreciate that they have got a large amount of work to do, but they not afraid of that; AoEC see challenges as opportunities for growth. All involved at the firm recognise that we live in an uncertain and volatile world, but they also recognise that where there is uncertainty, there is possibility. Since 2005, the Academy of Executive Coaching has trained 11,000 people worldwide; they believe in coaching you to be a coach, to be the best you can be. AoEC do not just teach coaching methodologies, they work with you to identify and develop your own model, your own style, your own ‘signature presence’. AoEC’s team feel that by continuing to develop individuals and organisations to be the best they can be, they are not alone in their mission to change the world.
