Traditional executive coaching and Passion Quest Orchestra®
Passion Quest makes use of the benefits of traditional executive coaching, while embodying business operator support that is more flexible, more surprising, and more rich with variation. Just like an orchestra in which a wide variety of instruments combine and switch among themselves to produce extremely original music, a team composed of a diverse range of experts provides support to you as a business operator. (Orchestra® is a registered trademark of Passion Quest Inc.)
In traditional executive coaching …
- the coach and business operator meet one-on-one.
- Regular discussions are held centered on questions
- from the specially trained professional coach in order to
- search for and clearly identify targets, direct the business operator toward
- those targets, and at the same time achieve growth for the business operator.
- However the coach does not provide advice or instructions, or contract operations.
- He provides questions and feedback that promote thinking and action by the client himself or herself.
Passion Quest Orchestra® is a new type of support for business operators that is similar to but unique from executive coaching and has the following features.
With executive coaching, ordinarily a single responsible coach converses with the business operator. However with Passion Quest Orchestra®, it is the conductor who interacts with the business operator. The conductor makes full use of coaching skills as an element technique, however he is not limited by the traditional methods and framework of coaching, and provides flexible support to the business operator. While the conductor regularly meets one-on-one with the business operator, he occasionally holds sessions with invited expert guests. The conductor is also not limited to one-on-one coaching, and can conduct group sessions and training involving client company management or employees.
| Traditional executive coaching | Passion Quest Orchestra® |
|---|---|
| The client and responsible coach always meet one-on-one. | In addition to one-on-one sessions, sessions which various experts attend are also possible. |
| The same supporter remains involved throughout the entire process. | |
| (The executive coach is involved throughout.) | (The conductor is involved throughout.) |
| The core consists of providing questions and high-quality brainstorming sessions. | |
| Instead of directly providing direct support for advice and resolving problems, instead we provide complete questions and brainstorming. | In addition to questions from the conductor and brainstorming, advice is provided by invited experts. For example web and video production requests based on the discussion contents are also possible. |

|
| The client gains new questions based on the questions asked by the responsible coach. |
In collaboration with the conductor, the client gains new questions based on a diverse range of questions from the experts. Also gain new questions through encounters with art, music, architecture, and other areas. |
| Sessions are generally held in an office, by Zoom or other work space, or in a conference room. |
Sessions are not limited to offices, conference rooms, and Zoom, and can be held in all kinds of locations. For example, gain inspiration by participating in a tour of another company’s workplace, hold discussions in a bamboo forest or Japanese garden, or discuss while encountering paintings, music, theater, or other art. |
|
The responsible coach asks a wide variety of questions. A wide variety of questions are asked with the backbone being the expertise, learning, viewpoints, and perspective developed by the responsible coach. |
Because sessions are conducted involving multiple experts who have a wide variety of knowledge and backgrounds, the questions asked and viewpoints presented are likely to be more diverse and richer than support provided by an individual coach. |
| Coaching services are provided to the single individual designated in the contract. |
Support starts with one-to-one discussion with the business operator in the contract, however it is possible to designate other management personnel or employees as service recipients later as necessary. While conducting regular one-on-one discussions with the business operator, being able to simultaneously conduct training, coaching, consulting, and other services for designated management or employees in parallel enables more detailed discussions with the business operator. |
