COACHING ASSIGNMENT
Like a rocket ship, Clearscore had gone from being a greenfield start-up to a global business with 12 million users, in 3 continents and 200 employees. For their CTO, it meant using a range of existing skills, and finding new ones along the way. In order to continue developing, the coachee needed space to discuss challenges and outline meaningful steps to be able to continue to grow from a start-up to an Enterprise CTO.
THE IMPACT
The impact of coaching enabled the candidate to think a few years ahead and then work back to take practical steps to get there. By trying out some new ways of approaching problems, there has been a noticeable change in how the candidate handles certain situations.
“For me personally, I am now more comfortable sharing ideas that are not fully formed and seeing the benefits from others being inspired and building from them. Ultimately it has made me better in my role.”
DIFFERENTIATION OF POTENTIALSQUARED COACHING APPROACH
“Tom is not a traditional coach. He doesn’t sit back and fire off question after question in an exhausting way. I’ve had these experiences with coaches in the past and it has put me off. The sessions are much more like a conversation with friend who gives feedback and also brings ideas to the table. After every session, it has given me a lot to reflect over and something new to try out.”
