Executive Coaching

“Being strategic about your personal communication simply makes good business sense. The ability to knowingly convey the right message to the right people at the right time is a valuable asset that delivers an ongoing personal and professional dividend.

I commend the BlueChip approach to any executive seeking to enhance their communication skills and improve performance.”

Managing Director, Global Asset Management Firm

The Brief

A chief executive operating in the post-GFC world of commercial banking sought bespoke communication guidance. With a previous role as COO, the jump to CEO was not without hurdles. One of these was guidance on personal communication: the art of bringing people on a journey and gaining their permission to lead.

BlueChip took the brief to understand the CEO’s communication strengths and weaknesses, assessing the working environment and CEO’s personal reputation; and build a coaching framework to address specific communication issues while harnessing individual strengths.

The Response

BlueChip senior counsel implemented a 10 week communication coaching programme. A tailored agenda was developed, with individual brand, goals, audience and organisational KPIs accounted for.

The Results

• The difference between a good leader and a great one is the strength of personal communication. The ability to connect consistently, clearly and with conviction is one of the great daily tests of effective leadership. Compelling personal communication is not just a chapter in a management text book. It starts from within. Our client committed to these points and has yielded the rewards – winning positive feedback from his Board, line managers and executive team. Even his harshest test, his Executive Assistant, passed him with flying colours!
