Coaching
Grow yourself to grow your results, professionally – and personally - with a powerfully facilitative
coach, including Executive Coaching
Why have coaching?
People who come for coaching with us are often at a turning point in
their job, their work, their career, and frequently their life in general.
-
Many are facing change and the challenges it is throwing up.
-
Others might be encountering personal or behavioural difficulties in the role, as
compared with the technical skills, experience or knowledge to do the job, and are under pressure to do
things better or move on - or be moved on.
-
Sometimes people find themselves in roles which they realise they are not fully equipped for.
-
The challenges might be personal - or interpersonal, managing themselves in situations
or dealing with particular personalities around them.
-
It could be that someone is needing to grow as a leader to suit the role or future
roles or need to upscale as the organisation grows.
-
Maybe leadership is something new or challenging, calling on them to work with people and get results
in ways they've not done before.
-
Or, maybe someone needs just to do work on themselves or to clarify
direction and goals.
Maybe someone just wants to just sort their life out, as so many of us need to do. But far fewer of us
take the courage to do something about it.
The coaching solution
Your coach will get to the heart of the matter. He or she
-
Works beneath the surface of issues to bring about change
-
Has the ability to get right to the heart of where you are struggling and help you move on
-
Can ask you the right questions
-
Encourages you to grow
-
Will challenge you supportively
-
Has wide experience of developing people to bring to your work
-
Can construct with you a programme that suits your needs and engages with your concerns
-
Supports your personal responsibility and empowerment
People who work with us often have great potential but don't know how to realise it. Often they know that
there is something better for them and have the answers inside them. They often want to grow and they respond
to taking personal responsibility.
A coaching partnership involves these features
-
An initial meeting to get to the bottom-line issues, identify goals, agree a plan of action for
the coaching and crucially gain commitment to the process
-
Each session builds on the agreed plan and explores issues in-depth. Homework is often agreed, which is
reviewed at the start of the next session
-
The work is often done in partnership with a sponsor in the organisation or a line
manager, and others may have an in-put, such as in giving feedback, whilst respecting personal
confidentiality
-
Concluding sessions then summarise the work done and agree goals going forward
-
The coach uses facilitative questioning and listening and powerful dialogue, helps you draw out your
strengths and your potential and supports you to resolve those areas that get in the way of your
success
-
Sessions are often on-site but can be supported by tele-coaching remotely
There are many options
-
A one-off Self-Empowerment day, with a follow-up to monitor progress
-
A full-blown Personal Effectiveness programme of up to 8 sessions with 2 follow-ups
-
-
Combined team review workshops and 1-to-1’s with team members
There are always other formats to suit your needs. Our experience is so wide that we can usually come up
with ideas that match your needs.
