Coaching Unlocks the Leader Inside Managers

Learn and Be Curious is one among the principles guiding us through each day decisions at Hostinger. For over three years, we have now implemented an external coaching program as a precious learning and development initiative for our employees. To this point, greater than 130 of them have experienced the CoachHub program’s advantages and have had over 1,200 sessions.

The Idea Behind It 

Based on Gabrielė Zakaitienė, our People Partner, a very good leader has to grasp and practice coaching. There isn’t any higher solution to learn be an incredible coach than to have one. Coaching is about guiding individuals to seek out their approaches and solutions, not only giving answers.

“In a rapidly growing organization like ours, traditional development methods will not be enough to turn out to be a skillful leader. The CoachHub program helps employees to reflect on their leadership journey, enabling them to unlock their team’s strengths. Hostinger fully funds participation on this program to make sure our employees reach the utmost leader potential and have access to experienced coaches worldwide,“ highlights Gabrielė.

Integral to Hostinger’s culture is the idea in worker freedom and responsibility. As such, there isn’t a interference from the corporate in employees’ conversations with coaches, fostering an environment of trust. This approach empowers employees to resolve work-related issues, tackle each day challenges, self-reflect, and see the larger picture.

Mutual Advantages

Gabrielė recognizes the advantages Hostinger reaps through this coaching program – external coaching enhances self-awareness and accountability and fosters leadership development. It also helps leaders to turn out to be more diagnostic within the decision-making process and allows them to administer teams more effectively. This system offers employees precious tools for locating modern solutions, identifying strengths, developing a positive mindset, and constructing resilience.

Monika Šakytė, Head of Pricing and Business Insights, shares her experience as a participant within the coaching program. After the primary sessions, she realized it was an incredible solution to develop people, especially those liable to self-reflection and situational evaluation, on the lookout for answers and wanting to grow through change.

“In the course of the coaching sessions, you’ll be able to give you either questions or a broader topic you desire to to deal with and analyze. Coaching has helped me realize that you simply often have the answers to difficult questions. The one that asks you the appropriate questions permits you to see those answers. Once I was working with a coach, I had some very specific questions that I discovered difficult, and I left with a transparent idea of what to do next or a transparent picture of the situation,” Monika reveals. 

Flexible and Open to Everyone 

As the brand new six-month coaching program kicks off at the top of August, Gabrielė Zakaitienė reminds us that all Hostinger employees can apply. Participants are chosen based on specific criteria and standards, just like the developmental stage the leader is in, whether or not they’ve already finished fundamentals training, how many individuals they’re leading, and what number of stakeholders they should interact with.

“This system offers flexibility, allowing participants to vary coaches, manage sessions, and pause membership if vital. This system utilizes an AI-enabled technology platform, facilitating personalized communication between coaches and participants, ensuring a seamless coaching journey,” Gabrielė explains.

While personal achievement and improvement are crucial points of this system, constructing a community is equally as vital. That’s why we’ve ensured Hostinger employees have access to channels where they’ll discuss their experiences and newly-acquired knowledge with other program participants.
