Reflexion: Transforming Individuals, Teams And Organizations
Urvashi Malhotra
Co-Founder
For gathering knowledge about Reflexion's robust development, sink in the conversation between the CoFounders Urvashi Malhotra and Suva Chattopadhyay with CEO Insights.
Most people in corporations assume that being given the chance to work with a coach is a positive thing. Can you explain the benefits of executive coaching? Also, briefly describe Reflexion’s approach.
We would like to challenge your assumption that coaching is viewed as a recognition of talent. Often clients, who have been selected for coaching, come into the first coaching conversation with the question “Why me?” A lot depends on how the value of coaching is communicated to the client by the organization.
Coaching has many benefits:
• It is one on one process, and therefore more client-centric. Challenges can be openly discussed in a safe space and the focus in on development in areas that matter to them
• It helps in positive behavioral change that translates into business results
• Transition coaching supports leaders who are new to their roles, to make a great begining
• Coaching enables deeper insight and analysis for leaders who are managing complexity
In our coaching work, we ensure that the client, stakeholder, and the coach articulate the gaols that the coaching partnership aims for, right at the outset. We undersatnd, how things are presently and what the envisioned state would look like. We measure the progress and do the necessary course correction to get closer to the objective that we started with.
