The Application Process

The application process for the Global SMEs Coaching Excellence Award is straightforward and rigorous. Candidates are required to submit an application that showcases how they have implemented coaching culture and style within their organizations. The candidates will be assessed using the Coaching Excellence Model™, a rigorous evaluation system that assesses coaching culture and leading style within organizations. The model evaluates various aspects of coaching excellence, including leadership support, the effectiveness of coaching interventions, and the impact of coaching on employee performance and satisfaction. The winners of the domestic level awards then move on to the regional level, where they compete against other winners from neighboring countries. The regional-level winners are then automatically considered for the global level, where they compete against winner organizations from all over the world. The winners of each level are awarded in their respective countries, regions, and at the global level. This multi-level approach ensures that the best and brightest are recognized for their accomplishments and inspires others to strive for excellence.
