360-degree Assessment and Executive Coaching for Professionals – Three Sessions (2025)
Are you looking to elevate your leadership and management skills? Take your professional growth to the next level with a comprehensive 360-degree assessment and coaching experience.
The 360-Degree Assessment offers valuable insights into how others perceive you and how you engage within your work environment. These insights are further enriched and contextualized through three Executive Coaching Sessions, where you will develop actionable steps to harness your strengths and address areas for growth based on the assessment results.
What is a 360-degree Assessment?
A 360-degree Assessment is a process designed to provide a holistic and comprehensive understanding of your leadership and management style. It gathers valuable feedback from the people you regularly work and interact with, including your direct reports, peers, supervisors, and other stakeholders whose perspectives you value. The process also incorporates your own self-evaluation, offering a well-rounded view of your professional behaviours and impact.
What can you learn from your feedback?
This is a common question. While receiving feedback can feel intimidating, it’s important to remember that the 360-Degree Assessment report in this context is used solely for developmental purposes. The feedback aims to support your growth by highlighting your strengths—some of which you may not even be aware of—along with areas for improvement and potential blind spots. This insight serves as a foundation for self-awareness and targeted development.
- Increase self-awareness: Participants will gain a deeper understanding of their strengths and areas for improvement through a 360-degree Assessment and individualized feedback from colleagues.
- Improve leadership skills: Participants will identify specific leadership and management competencies to develop through the analysis of 360-degree feedback and coaching sessions.
- Foster personal growth: Participants will engage in self-reflection and identify actionable goals for personal and professional development based on the 360-degree Assessment results.
- Enhance communication skills: Participants will practice active listening and constructive dialogue during coaching sessions, with a focus on addressing feedback from the 360-degree Assessment.
- Apply feedback effectively: Participants will learn how to analyse and interpret feedback from the 360-degree Assessment, and develop strategies to implement change based on this feedback.
- Strengthen teamwork: Participants will explore their impact on team dynamics and identify ways to enhance collaboration and communication with team members based on the 360-degree Assessment results.
- Increase emotional intelligence: Participants will gain insight into their emotional self-awareness and social awareness, and develop strategies to enhance emotional regulation and relationship management skills through the analysis of 360-degree feedback.
- Develop a growth mindset: Participants will embrace a learning orientation, view feedback as an opportunity for growth, and be open to exploring new ideas and perspectives during coaching sessions.
These learning objectives can help guide participants through the 360-degree Assessment and executive coaching process, ensuring that they focus on personal growth, leadership development, and improved performance within their roles.

The 360-degree Assessment process is not aimed at performance management; it is a developmental tool.
The 360-degree Assessment report is normally confidential and only provided to the participant and their assigned coach.
