Blog and On-Demand Webinar: Successful Coaching Outcomes for Leadership Self-Efficacy

What happens in executive coaching sessions to ensure successful goal setting outcomes?

Executive coaches help leaders move more from feelings of anxiety to a creative strategic sense of goal-setting.  Coaching encourages the executive to develop new approaches and goals and re-evaluate their impact. Leaders with higher self-efficacy will set higher goals and find better strategies to attain their goals. Self-efficacy is linked to performance through its effect on goals. Outside of academia, self-efficacy is used interchangeably with self-confidence.

My passion has always been to ensure that my coaching sessions lead to successful goal achievement for my clients.  Although goal-setting models exist, descriptions of the various ways that coaches make use of goal-setting in their conversations with clients are not readily available.  In my dissertation research I asked executive coaches what strategies they used to build self-efficacy in relation to positive goal accomplishment in their clients. Some of their answers confirmed strategies that I used in the past and other descriptions lead me to the model of evidence-based strategies that will serve coaches in the future.

The results of this research highlighted evidence-based strategies that coaches use to enhance self-efficacy and positive goal achievement. The core strategies that executive coaches utilize to enhance self-efficacy in order to develop positive goal accomplishment are helping the client gain perspective, acknowledging skills and competencies, reviewing past success, social experiments, and change models. As a result of my research, I was able to develop a coaching model that coaches may use to enhance leaders’ self-efficacy for positive goal accomplishment. This model strengthens the case for evidence-based coaching.

I will share more about this model at the May 15^th at the webinar.

With executive coaching, it is generally accepted that goal-setting is a necessary condition for successful coaching. Self-efficacy is linked to performance through its effect on goals. Self-efficacy is the belief that one has the personal capabilities and resources to meet the demands of a specific task and situation.

As a coach, I wondered if coaches should place more emphasis on how to set and monitor goals, or how to enhance clients’ self-efficacy? As a researcher, looking through the lens of social cognitive theory, one point kept surfacing: Self-efficacy is a key casual variable in performance.

This webinar will present the findings and conclusions of my dissertation research and the theory-based strategies that coaches use. We will review the coaching model that I developed and look at applied examples. We will discuss the strategies that you currently are using.
