Global Executive Professional Development has become the critical success factor for organizations that are extending their reach internationally.  Leading professionals engaged in global executive professional development have typically employed the coaching model of change and learning as the platform for an executive development program as well as a set of key relevant global executive competencies. However, executive coaching has had to rapidly evolve in the last fews years to meet the corporate 'bottom-line' need to obtain sustainable, measurable (accountable) behavioral change

Today, global executive coaching is no longer a suitable domain for employing outdated, un-scientific, unproven, simplistic: executive coaching models, user-fits-all personality profiling, tools and techniques etc. Successful global executive coaching programs are built upon validated, behavioral scientific models and accelerated behavioral change techniques. Organizations now undertstand that global success is all about unleashing the full personal power of their executives. By using a behavioral-based coaching approach the global executive can be shown how to self-manage himself and significantly up-grade his personal and professional skill sets, feel balanced, alert, in control and powerful and be able to make the greatest contribution to the organization. The empowered individual acts and not reacts, thinks creatively, works well under pressure, makes good decisions and communicates clearly. Global leadership qualities also emerge. When an organization's people move into a zone of optimum, sustainable best performance, so does the organization.

Developing a Behavioral-Based Coaching Plan can provide a relatively quick and cost-effective increase in individual and organizational productivity and well-being. Using industry-proven behaviour based coaching models, well-trained coaches can develop a Plan to assist people to develop competence by identifying the key aspects such as; beliefs, values, attitudes, thinking processes etc -that affect professional and cultural expertise.

The first step is to recognize that developing a behavioural-based coaching program depends on both the rigor with which the methodology is used and the rigor with which the necessary behaviors are identified and addressed. Hence the need to use psychologically-based and workplace proven, valid and reliable behavioral assessment instruments, change models and techniques. However, the key to success in any coaching initiative is the selection of the appropriate behavioural based change model to fit the individual's specific change needs. Dr Skiffington's industry-proven Global leadership Certified Master Coach Course meets the critical needs for professional leadership developers to be trained and mentored in the use of a range of validated, reliable behaviour based coaching models, tools and techniques.

Global executive coaching is now recognized as the critical platform for executives to achieve successful behavioral change and learning. Executive behavior (first seen as actions) is the sum of professional skills affected by personal skills and behavioral aspects such as; beliefs, values, attitudes, motivation, thoughts, and unconscious drives. 

The graduates of the on-site Global Leadership Certified Master Coach Course are personally trained by Dr Skiffington to employ the building blocks of a successful Global Executive Coaching Program. These elements include:
- 
1. Accurate Assessment of behaviors and situations.
-
2. Cultural Competencies required to be succesful
-
3. Behavioral Change and Adaptability models and tools
-
4.  Performance Benchmarks so that executives can fine-tune their actions.
-
5.  Self-Monitoring and Support Mechanisms to assist the executive in the field.

The Unique demands of the Professional Global Executive Developer as Coach transcend the typical executive coach role in three critical ways: 
-
1. Behavioral Perspective.  The developer-as-coach strives to recognize the assumptions and values that affect the executive’s professional choices and behaviors. They employ valid behavioral change models and techniques to assist executives through the process of self-awareness, self-understanding and skill building to achieve lasting, measurable behavior change, self-development and performance enhancement.  This is critical, because through out-of-awareness, cultural conflicts and misunderstandings arise.
-
2. Tailored Approach.  Each developer-as-coach monitors their own cultural perspectives, beliefs etc, striving to develop a personalized, objective working relationship with the executive.
- 
3. Just-in-Time Intercultural Knowledge.  The developer-as-coach’s role is to apply this knowledge of successful interactions across cultures, just-in-time, to the executive’s behavioral and performance issues to be addressed.

In Summary:
Global executive coaching equips and encourages executives to meet their challenges by helping them to develop self-awareness of their behavior and patterns; cultivate awareness of how others perceive them; capitalize on their leadership strengths and bridge gaps; acquire new leadership strategies and tactics; and in turn deliver and surpass their executive and corporate goals.
