6-Month Coaching Plan

This is a sample of a coaching plan for a 6-month engagement. The timeline of this plan is intended to be flexible because the dialogue and the work conducted will dictate how much time we spend on each aspect. Based on a client's situation, we may move more quickly through one topic while spending more time on another.

Goal of Engagement:

These goals are unique to each client.
We get aligned on these goals at the start of the engagement.
Each goal is tracked throughout the process.

1. STRATEGIC SELF- AWARENESS

Month 1 - 2

We start with self-reflection and gather any assessment results or feedback.

We take a deep look at the leader's dashboard, PXT Select results, and potentially conduct a 360-verbal assessment to gather real time feedback on the leader's reputation.

Take an inventory on accomplishments, experiences, and skills.

Gain an understanding of market supply and demand.

2. CAREER PLANNING

Month 2

We create a career plan that includes long-term goals and the steps required in order to get there.

Address potential barriers and limitations such as finances and realistic timing constraints.

3. BRANDING + REPUTATION

Months 3 - 4

Design branding and marketing strategy. This includes the leader's resume, LI profile, social media presence, speaking engagements, and other channels.

Gain an understanding of the leader's current reputation and address any potential barriers.

4. JOB SEARCH STRATEGY

Month 4 - 6

Create a target list of companies broken down by industry, size, stage, and location.

Identify the appropriate hiring or decision makers. Design an action plan to get connected with the right people.
