    -Do you want to be pushed towards achieving your goals ?
    -Do you plan to work for a Multi-National at any time ?
    -Do you plan to travel abroad / work there any time ?
    -Do you currently / plan to interact with overseas Coachees ?

    Effectiveness:        
    - Is often measured by comparing the results of 360 degree surveys conducted ‘just before’ and ‘6 months’ after the commencement of a coaching engagement. A far
    better measure is to observe ‘day to day interaction indicators between the Coachee and the stakeholders’ before and after…

    Ethics Code:
    - We are a signatory to the International Coach Federation’s Code of Ethics

    Conflict of Interest:
    - We will not pursue a Sponsor’s agenda that is detrimental to the career of a Coachee.
    - Likewise, we will not support a Coachee’s agenda that is detrimental to the business of the Sponsor. Refer to Agenda…
    - We will not ‘personally coach’ individuals working for our Corporate Clients, since such individuals will in most cases be planning for another career ‘

    Expats:      
    - Inbound-Expats are best coached by India based Coaches
    - Outbound Expats are best coached by our Global Panel of Coaches

    Face-to-Face Sessions:        
    - Ideal for initial rapport building; Observation (shadow coaching) during Board Meetings / Business Reviews / Coachee Presentations etc

    Frequency:       
    - Weekly-Works only for 'highly driven' individuals looking for a 'crash course'
    - Fortnightly-Recommended in most cases, works when the agenda is a combination of short term & long term
    - Monthly-Works when the agenda is ONLY long term
    - Note: The Frequency is best determined on a ‘case to case’ basis

    Funding:
    - Ideally, needs to come equally from the SBU as well as HR to ensure that the Coaching Agenda gives equal weightage to 'Business Objectives' and 'Development Needs'

    GlobalCoaches ideal for:
    *Ongoing support for Indian Execs being posted overseas

    *Huge savings in lieu of taking-  an Indian Coach overseas
    *No uncertainty of visas for Indian Coaches

    Guarantee:
    - No Coach can guarantee that behaviours or results will improve - Willingness rather than Capability, of the Coachee, is often what makes the difference in the results of a
    Coaching Relationship

    Hi-Pots:   
    - Often invest in ‘personal coaching’ / skill development to give them an edge over their peers. However,they are most likely to become ‘entrepreneurs’ or seek greener
    pastures, IF the Sponsor cannot   create an ‘ innovation culture’ or plot a clear career path.
