THE TEXEM, UK COACHING EDGE

All our programmes are designed to include actionable coaching that equips executives with requisite insights on how to efficiently innovate and adapt their leadership style to address organisational contextual realities. Some of the Strategic Organisational challenges that our programmes will help address through coaching include changes such as those due to the implementation of new technology and adapting to fiscal revenue generation reforms that would transform the organisation. Others include; change in organisational culture, and new fiscal, financial, legal and regulatory developments such as Tax Policy Reforms like the recent introduction of Value Added Tax (VAT) and the risks and opportunities this offers. In addition, all our programmes help executives develop critical leadership skills such as communication, influence, negotiation, confidence, empathy and self-awareness. The TEXEM coaching edge methodology entails support and tailored guidance, challenging the executives’ assumptions, facilitating behavioural change, optimising performance and ultimately achieving sustainable success.

Our pedagogy entails helping executives to develop specific new awareness and skills – such as those required because of increased visibility (contexts such as engaging stakeholders-regulators, partners, colleagues).

OUR VIRTUAL ADVANTAGE

At TEXEM, we encourage our senior executives to make challenges their vitamins, and we practice what we preach. Virtual capacity development programmes have become an essential aspect of our delivery mode due to the global socio-economic and health crisis that resulted from COVID-19. We have successfully conducted various virtual programmes using TEXEM’s tested and proven methodology, which makes pedagogy fun, learning engaging, fosters collaboration, and optimises assimilation. Through our insightful, exciting, and behaviour-changing virtual programmes, our distinguished stakeholders consistently affirm that they achieve significant returns on investment.

For example, TEXEM recently concluded a three-week live virtual programme titled Resilience in a Volatile World: Inspiring Transformation Successfully, which comprised one hour of daily self-study and four hours of live study sessions via a technology platform. As always, this TEXEM programme was delivered by our esteemed faculty members from Ivy League and Russell Group institutions, as well as world-renowned decision-makers. Participants were encouraged to study at their convenience through our learning management system while fulfilling their professional obligations. The programme content, which included videos, short articles, case studies, scenarios, group discussions, and self-reflections, was updated weekly. To enhance engagement, thought-provoking questions were posted on the platform, fostering interactive discussions. Participants earned points through a reward scheme, and the top five participants were recognised weekly, promoting healthy competition.

Live sessions were held every Saturday evening, facilitated by scholars and industry leaders from esteemed institutions such as Cambridge University Enterprise, London Business School, and Ashridge, alongside ambassadors from various countries. These sessions were conducted via Zoom, leveraging the breakout room function to stimulate brainstorming and group discussions. Participants networked and collaboratively devised solutions to assigned tasks within minutes, simulating the fast-paced nature of their professional environments. This approach subtly reinforced the importance of time management, collaboration, and decision-making in challenging situations. Additionally, the topics covered—including leadership carousels, optimising motivation, managing organisational politics, and winning strategies—were tailored to the realities of operating in developing economies. Participants attested to the uniqueness, relevance, and applicability of the modules.

Game sessions were incorporated into the live session itinerary to stimulate goal-setting, enhance multitasking skills, and introduce an element of healthy competition. These activities kept participants engaged, as they were aware that questions related to the facilitator’s lecture would be posed during the live Q&A session. While many provided correct answers, only the fastest respondents received prizes. Towards the end of the programme, participants were grouped and presented with an assessment, enabling them to apply their learning to real-world scenarios. Participants reported that the assessment heightened their self-awareness regarding leadership blind spots, equipped them with essential tools to address leadership weaknesses, and strengthened their ability to capitalise on their strengths.

TEXEM’s dynamic methodology fosters an emotional connection to learning, provides opportunities for feedback and practice, and allows for personalised instruction. Participants expressed that the experience was so immersive that they often forgot it was a virtual programme. The high level of interaction and engagement ensured that there was never a dull moment. Furthermore, the quality of our faculty contributed significantly to creating the ideal learning environment, as they actively engaged participants throughout the sessions. The module was designed to address organisational challenges in both stable and uncertain times, equipping participants with strategies for achieving efficiency, enhancing morale, optimising performance, and attaining sustainable success.
