Prominent Mind's Executive Coaching Programs have a clear goal of improving overall performance effectiveness in a time bound manner to perceive the change.

Dynamic Business Engagement
ProminentMind believes that the four pillars Organisation’s Culture, Values, Competency Framework and the criteria adopted in Performance evaluation constitute one half of the long term context, while the nature of the Business Field(B2B, B2C,and others), as well as the stage in which the organisation is (Stable/Mature, Market Leader, New Entrant or other), forms the other half. The short term business context relates to the current challenges and opportunities that the organization is currently facing/expecting within the next couple of years.

The company recommends that 'if then' statements are to be fully avoided while onboarding individuals into a coaching engagement. 'If then' statements typically have three facets. While 'Measurability'in a simple and preagreed framework to gauge the progress is ok, 'Consequences' such as either promotion/salary raise or being moved out of the role if the expected direction and level of change does not materialize is often counter productive. The third facet of 'Arrival' is often a hidden killer, because at the end of any coaching engagement, the individual does not arrive at a finish line or a steady state for the long run. A coaching journey opens up new vistas, directions for the person to explore, practice, and enrich oneself continually. As simply stated by ProminentMind,'Progress and self development have no end, no finish line'. The individuals experience increased self awareness, a clearer understanding of their blind spots including uncovering of their hidden talents/potential, a positive restlessness with one's status quo, all leading to an inner realization that self development is its own reward.

The key challenges faced by professionals

could be divided into three buckets Time Commitment, Translating the enhanced self awareness into appropriate measures & actions, and picking one self up and moving forward from failed attempts. ProminentMind as a coach, stands by and stands next to the professionals, some times prodding or whispering into their ears or encouraging, or at times challenging them to overcome such hurdles. Each coaching journey is very different and formulas or ready made kits are of little use. This is the area that differentiates ProminentMind from other executive coaching ventures.

ProminentMind's eclectic toolkit uses a mix of Psychometric Tools, NLP based self reflection exercises, conversations, and 360-degree feedback. ProminentMind is moving to the 'CAAD Coaching At A Distance'model in the pandemic situation. The company enables mid sized and startup groups to overcome organizational hurdles in realizing their dreams and aids larger businesses to renew themselves for the future. ProminentMind endeavors to achieve deep rooted, holistic outcomes for its clients.
