Case Study – Executive Coaching

D’Arcy has provided executive coaching for a wide range of clients, and these include senior executives throughout the construction and housing sectors, Scandinavian banking, the NHS, WWF, medical recruitment, the pharmceuticals sector, the water industry.

Client: a national house builder.

The brief: “we have had a lot of change in the last year, and the regional directors are not working as well with their senior managers as we need them to. Please get them communicating effectively around the real issues in the business.” – Managing Director.

The D’Arcy response: D’Arcy coaches embarked upon intensive one-to-one coaching with both directors and their senior managers. Each individual had four personal sessions; this was followed by the coach facilitating joint sessions with a director and a senior manager. Coaching and conciliation skills were employed to assist the participants to explore issues which the solo sessions had identified as either being contentious or limiting the working relationship.

The results: an exercise which proved to be bonding, liberating and stimulating for the individuals, whilst improving decision making for the business.
