Whilst it is able to provide these services across a wide spectrum of businesses it is particularly interested in coaching high potentials and executives in fast growing small and medium sized enterprises and large banks with a special focus on developing leadership skills. The coaching services on offer are as follows; |

PenLion’s approach to executive leadership coaching is based on the research work undertaken by the Center for Creative leadership and Lominger (www.lominger.com), a leading global leadership consultancy. This research is expressed in an experience proven leadership model that has been shown to be universally applicable and highly effective. The same research identified the most effective means of developing business leadership. The result is a highly acclaimed portfolio of proven tools and techniques for leadership development that PenLion is certified to apply in its coaching process.
The leadership coaching process unfolds over an intensive programme of face to face sessions supported by comprehensive assessment and development material. The process commences by establishing the prevailing leadership profile of the client using a comprehensive online 360 assessment that is used to target areas for development that are captured in a detailed action plan and acted upon in the workplace accompanied by reflective reviews. The power of the process lies in the detailed targeting of the development need and the application of research based and experience proven development tools in the actual workplace thereby linking theory and practice in the work context. The book “For Your Improvement” from Lominger completes the set of materials used in the coaching. Supporting material in the form of the client’s leadership story, psychometric tests, aspirations and the like are taken into account as required. Developing leadership skills takes a great deal of time and effort. PenLion ensures that this investment is made in the right leadership skills for the client’s specific circumstances thereby maximising the return on investment. |

The promotional transition between the major hierarchical strata in an organisation can be the source of great challenge to many aspiring executive as he/she attempts to come to terms with the new position. PenLion is able to support the organisation and individual in making sure that the transition is undertaken smoothly and effectively through the proper identification of potential for advancement and coaching through the transition.
In the first instance PenLion is able to offer insight into individual potential for promotion through its accreditation in the use of the Lominger “Learning Agility” material. The term “Learning Agility” coined by Lominger refers to learning new skills under first time conditions for the learner. High Potentials are ambitious people who have the passion and ability to learn new things. The Lominger research shows that they do 4 things particularly well; |
| • |
They are critical thinkers who examine problems carefully and make new connections. |
| • |
They know themselves and are well able to handle tough situations deftly. |
| • |
They like to experiment and can deal with the discomfort that surrounds change. |
| • |
They deliver results in first-time situations through team building and personal drive. |
|
The Lominger research has produced proven assessment technology that is practical and can be used by line managers and Human Resources professionals alike.
Secondly, PenLion provides executive coaching to those in transition. The focus of this coaching is on learning the key demands of the new position and gaining new self insight that develops the mindset and skills set to succeed in the new position.
The transition may take place in a large organisation characterised by many layers of hierarchy or it may relate to a fast growing small/medium business that creates natural transitions as the business grows in complexity. |

Many an executive stumbles in a high stress environment and requires support to get back to winning ways. Sometimes it might be a lack of confidence. At other times it might be issues related to poor emotional intelligence or poor attitude or lack of motivation. Whatever the issue, executive coaching can often save the day through a focus on the nub of the matter and creating the self-awareness required to overcome the performance problem. |
| |
Executives transform organisations and are often involved in strategic change and confidential matters. The nature of the confidential agenda means that the executive can seldom discuss it with many people. In these instances they may require a confidant to act as a sounding board as they navigate difficult waters. Executive coaching provides self insight related to perspective, values, business ethics, the need for change and the like. It can also provide constructive, neutral feedback that is otherwise unavailable to the executive due to the nature of his position and the task at hand. |
| |
Some clients may wish to have access to a leadership 360 assessment together with some basic feedback. They may then integrate this into a development initiative of their own. In this situation PenLion is able to deliver the Lominger online 360 assessment complete with comprehensive feedback report and coaching on the feedback delivered individually or to a small group. |
| |
The client need may be to deliver coaching in small groups of no more than 6 people, perhaps as part of an executive or HIPO development programme. In this case PenLion can design and deliver group coaching sessions to meet the client need. |
| |
In these difficult times many people are unfortunately made redundant. A set of coaching sessions can be very beneficial in easing the pain and enabling the coachee to move seamlessly on to another job. PenLion is well experienced in the redundancy field and can add value to a company’s redundancy strategy. |
| |
Retirement is a significant life changing event which can prove difficult to transition. Coaching can ease the transition and provide meaningful direction to a person’s post-retirement life. |
