Personal Chemistry: A unique copyrighted process, GTKEO^©, establishes a mutually comfortable relationship between the Coachee and the Coach.
GTKEO^© = Get To Know Each Other

Inventory of Managerial Competency: At ZEUS, this is done upfront so that both you the Coachee, and your Coach, have the same understanding of your competencies. And this insight is built up from two different viewpoints; “Inside out” & “Outside In”. A unique copyrighted process, ZEUS Twin Inventory of Managerial Competencies^© is used. The four foundational competencies ZEUS focus on for mid-level managers are ...

Foundational Competencies*

Can I have face to face meetings?

Technology gives us the facilities that lessen the barriers of time and distance.- Emily Greene Balch

Certainly; if the ZEUS Coach you have chosen, is free, willing and you are ready to incur the additional costs.

Zeus urges you to reflect on following practical questions before considering this option.

What proportion of your professional interactions are over telephone and video calls? How do you expect this to change, in the years ahead?
You would like to pick a ZEUS Coach of your choice. Would you want geography getting in the way?
You know how difficult it is to carve out an hour of uninterrupted / focused time. Would you like to add on travel time, in addition? Either for yourself or your coach?
You know the value of being coached by a former CEO. And you know how valuable every CEO’s time is. Would it be productive use of your development monies to spend it on travel time & logistics costs of a CEO?

Even after reflecting on the above, if you are still keen on a face to face interaction, ZEUS is open. Please send your request to facilitator@zeuscoaching.in. Zeus Team will check with your chosen Zeus coach and respond.

Isn’t face to face meeting more common in Coaching?

There is enormous value in face to face interaction.- Sebastian Thrun

Yes of course. Face to Face meetings at CEO / CXO level is needed for following reasons.

CEOs & CXOs, have the wherewithal to block their calendars for 3~4 hours at a time, 3~4 weeks in advance. This makes possible for travel & other logistics.
Coaching needs of CEOs & CXOs tend to be around advanced competencies such as strategic orientation, organisational capabilities, change leadership and inclusiveness. These are relatively subtler skills needing longer interactions of often up to 3 to 4 hours.

Even in Coaching CEOs & CXOs, face to face meetings are substantially supported by telephonic and e-mail conversations.

What exactly happens in Coaching Sessions?

All coaching is, is taking a player where he can't take himself.- Bill McCartney

Coaching Sessions are essentially conversations, that up your Managerial Competencies and help you realise your full potential. It focuses on your needs, your motivations, your aspirations, to assist you in understanding, selecting, building & exercising chosen managerial competencies.

Coaching conversations are typically around questions such as :

What is your current inventory of Managerial Competencies?
Where do you want to get to and why? What are the different ways you can get there? Which route(s) fit your native talents / managerial competencies best?
Which added competencies do you need to build? And, how could you do that?
Which competencies do you need to exercise more and in what situations?

It is around these questions, your Zeus Coach develops a coaching program, specifically for you.

The process of strengthening competencies has its own challenges. Your Zeus Coach is aware of this and would be sensitive to physical, emotional and mental challenges you would be going through.

What are the Managerial Competencies ZEUS Coaching focuses on?

ZEUS Coaching focuses on the following eight competencies

Foundational Competencies	Advanced Competencies
Results Orientation	Strategic Orientation
Collaboration & Influence	Organisational Capabilities
Team Leadership	Change Leadership
Market & Undersatnding	Inclusiveness
Foundational Competencies are the focus at middle management levels. Advanced competencies, would be needed at leadership roles in the future.

Where and how often do we meet?

You meet your Zeus Coach over easily available video conference facility such as Skype or similar.

Frequency would be once every 3 or 4 weeks. The intent is to complete the Five Coaching Sessions in about 15 weeks so that you can focus on your performance with renewed vigour. The actual time taken may vary a bit.

What is Coaching and what is Mentoring?

Both are about deep conversations that positively influence the Coachee / Mentee to develop themselves and realise their full potential. The differences are

Coaching	Mentoring
Conversations are largely evocative	Conversations are largely prescriptive
Focuses on specifics such as Managerial Competencies / Leadership Skills etc	Takes a broader holistic view of work & life.
Limited to about 4~ 12 months	Long term. May be 3~5 years or longer.
Coach is usually a skilled person of repute, often from outside	Mentor is usually a very senior internal person

Is Coaching for me?

The ZEUS Framework for Coaching Managers is designed for people like you; aspiring middle level managers, keen on rising to the top.

ZEUS Framework recognises a simple reality; your career growth, your performance and your managerial competencies, continuously feed in to one another as virtuous cycle.

Are there situations where ZEUS Coaching is not appropriate?

Yes. There are three situations

ONE: Where the task is “imparting managerial knowledge”. Class room based development program such as MDPs & EDPs are amore appropriate for this.

TWO: Where an individual is grappling with a purely personal challenges, coaching is not appropriate. Counsellors may be more appropriate.

THREE: Out-placement / where an individual is seeking to switch jobs. Search firms may be more appropriate.
