Executive & Personal Coaching

Coaching is a useful way of developing people's skills and abilities, and boosting their performance. It can also help deal with issues and challenges before they become major problems.

A Coaching session will typically take place as a conversation between the coach and the coached individual, and it focuses on helping the coached individual discover solutions to problems they face for themselves. After all, people are much more likely to engage with solutions that they have come up with themselves, rather than those that are forced upon them! Agree? 

In some organizations, Coaching is still seen as a corrective tool, used only when things have gone wrong. But in many companies, Coaching is considered to be a positive and proven approach for helping others explore their goals and ambitions and have the means and ability to accomplish and achieve them, even while things are going perfectly well, Coaching is used as a means to to make what is going well, become better, and the better become the best! 

Coaches in the workplace are not counselors, psychotherapists, gurus, teachers, trainers, or consultants – although they may use some of the same skills and tools. Most formal, Professional Coaching is carried out by qualified people who work with clients to improve their effectiveness and performance, and help them achieve their full potential. Coaching is MOST effective when both sides know exactly what is required of them and know their GOALS and are willing to work on achieving them, and most importantly, is also most effective when the person who wants to be coached, seeks and agrees to the process, willingly.

HOW WE DO IT & WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?

BELIEVE
We believe in coaching. We believe in the need to be heard. We believe in needing another perspective through which we see life. Sometimes, we get so caught up in our own issues, we become emotionally involved and this in return clouds our thinking. It is known to be much easier to give advice to others, than it is to ourselves, because we are not emotionally involved with that issues of those around us like we are in our own issues. Top athletes, artists and top leaders, all have coaches to achieve peak performance. Executives deserve the same development, training and support, by an objective, encouraging, loyal, trained and commercially experienced professional on whom they can rely to help them navigate better and achieve more. 

focus
We are committed and focused on results. Change comes from within. Every person is capable of changing. Whatever it is that we set our mind(s) to, is attainable.  By nurturing and retaining top performers, their potential is accelerated, and their achievements sky-rockets, hence an executive coach offers a focused approach to allow a client to know what they want, how to get it and when they will achieve their goals.

PROCESS
It is in how we do it. Following a briefing from the business, a briefing from the line manager, and a general understanding of the functionality of the business, a meeting to create the chemistry bond between the coach and the person to be coached is then put in place. An agenda outlining the goals to be achieved is then put in place, and is followed by six or more 2-3-hour 1:1 coaching sessions over a period of 6-12 months. Feedback forms are completed through the process to track the progress, and feedback is given to the coached to monitor the changes.
