From offsite events to regular calendar programmes. Along with Art-Based Trainings, we have a strong presence in the space of Skill Development programmes, which look at addressing skill gaps in leaders, as well as in Executive Coaching using the ICF methodologies.

Executive Coaching: Executive coaching is an experiential and individualized leader development process that builds a manager’s capability to achieve short- and long-term organizational goals. It is conducted through one-on-one interactions, driven by data from multiple perspectives, and based on mutual trust and respect. At The Painted Sky, we undertake Executive Coaching assignments for our clients who have managerial authority and responsibility in an organization. We work with clients across industries, to help them rise to the challenges at work, fulfill their true potential and achieve greater success and satisfaction, through our successful Executive Coaching practice. Potential Coachees mostly include members of the CXO suite or their direct reports. Our approach, using the ICF “Eclectic” method, leverages research-based tools and techniques, which are tested and proven to bear better results. It is a powerful and structured process through which the client is helped to identify and address self-limiting beliefs and skill gaps that hinder progress towards goal achievement. This leads to change and transformation that a client aspires, which emanates from asking right questions, rather than providing right answers. Individuals who engage in a coaching relationship can expect to experience fresh perspectives on personal challenges and opportunities, enhanced thinking and decision-making skills, enhanced interpersonal effectiveness, and increased confidence in carrying out their chosen work and life roles. Design Thinking, with UBQT Design UBQT is a Design Thinking consulting firm that helps clients leverage the most modern approaches to find solutions.
