Tools for managing your career
Professional self-awareness Coaching
No less than 92% of executives have had or plan to use a coach to develop leadership skills and improve the efficiency of their company's employees. This is confirmed by data from a survey carried out by the consulting firm Odgers Berndston, given to a total of 200 CEOs, general managers and human resource managers of Spanish and multinational companies. The coach is responsible for helping the coachee (professional) discover what their needs are and how to enhance their skills. To speak about coaching at a management level, ESADE Alumni organised the session Leadership Lessons of a Coach for executives, run by Pablo Tovar, managing partner of AddVenture and senior fellow of Oxford Leadership, and the session 2015, Yes ..., I Will Follow my Dreams, run by Ainhoa Berganza and Ana Guiu, founding members of Inti Training & Coaching. The DISC system is a method for raising awareness and classifying characteristics of people's social and professional behaviour and their relationship with the roles they play using four trends: D (dominant), I (influential), S (stable) C (cautious). The DiSC method originates from the research of Professor William Marston, and the Professional Career Service offers alumni the DISC Test Target, a tool that easily analyses fundamental aspects of professional profiles based on interaction and communication style. The self-awareness workshops as a tool for professional development held in Madrid and Barcelona allowed for work using the DISC Test Target.
Mindfulness
One of the benefits of working at Google is that its 52,000 employees are given free mindfulness classes. The practice of mindfulness teaches a person to be more focused on the present moment, rather than getting caught up in thoughts about the past or worrying about the future. And Google, Facebook and Instagram are just some of the companies implementing this in their companies. The importance of training the mind through mindfulness meditation exercises has scientific evidence, which is why its application in the field of leadership and management roles is increasing. ESADE Alumni organises sessions to practice mindfulness in which you can try it out in an enjoyable way at home or work.
