Coaching is the process that mobilizes strengths and realizes the potential of business individuals and organizations. The practice of coaching embodies a skill set designed to optimize the performance of a person in an organization in areas including leadership, corporate, public service, healthcare and other professional services. “Coaching psychology can be understood as being the systematic application of behavioural science to the enhancement of work performance and well‐being for business individuals, groups and organisation.” Anthony Grant (2006).

By advancing coaching research, education, and practice, Monarch supports professional coaches and others who use coaching skills in their personal and professional lives. We are building a global coaching community by bringing together leaders in the field to accelerate research progress and disseminate coaching’s best practices. We are realizing the coaching mission of optimizing human potential via Business Research, Leadership and Applied Positive Psychology.

Congruence

The path to personal and systemic congruence is a path one follows throughout life. The Monarch Executive Institute sets the practitioner on this personal journey. Dysfunction in an organizational setting may occur at many times and places due to increasing pressures and low-trust. Understanding the values and beliefs important to yourself and your organization is critical to having an impact on your surroundings and alleviating dysfunction. The MEI develops the practitioner so that they may build functional strategies through a step-by-step approach in order to embrace challenges and become increasingly congruent. Ultimately, the goal is to create both a congruent person and congruent organizational setting.

Congruent

The programs focus on the key aspects of creating increased congruency and resilience: Inside-Out Perspective, Equality, Empowerment, Equity, Exploration of the Self and Personal Needs, Examination of Value Sets and Beliefs, and Cross-Cultural Awareness.

In today’s global business environment scholars and business people are building a greater appreciation for the importance of leadership and emotional competence. The MEI recognizes the importance of personal mastery and its role within the organization. It is impossible to be an effective leader and coach of others without having personal knowledge and understanding. The MEI builds on this simple adage by combining courses on leadership, personal mastery, psychology and coaching to enable the candidate to explore the boundaries of the self and its interaction with others. If this focus reflects your own orientation then we encourage you to push yourself towards increased personal awareness and effectiveness. - Professor Steinberg

This module aims to support practitioners in identifying and developing a personal style of coaching.

Coaching With Complexity

This module introduces candidates to an approach to business and executive coaching that properly aligns the practice in the culture of business through the use of a relational "coaching axis" that helps to manage the complexity of the organisation and the individual as dual clients. This form of coaching is distinct from other types in two ways, firstly it is focused on achieving business outcomes, and secondly, both the individual being coached, and the sponsoring organization are simultaneously the client. This module explores how a coach manages the complexity of helping these two clients by acting as a narrative bridge between their stories. It offers a relational approach which resists remedial or curative notions born from the human science roots of Coaching and instead aligns to workplace realities.
