Coaching unlocks your people’s potential to improve their performance within your organisation and is a vital tool in your organisations performance management toolbox.

Coaching is a highly powerful and focused developmental tool that enables you to target key personal and organisational objectives in a challenging, open, creative and relevant environment.

In this way the development interventions we employ are a direct match with your needs, being delivered at the time and in a way required by yourself. There is no time wasted dealing with non-relevant issues, or dealing with them in a way that is not useful to you or your people.

Coaching is the best way to ensure behavioural change amongst your organisations senior management team. The atmosphere is non-threatening, positive and constructive. We identify solutions that have the greatest and most immediate impact on an ongoing basis.

Our approach to coaching is the most effective way to implement your personal development goals. It focuses on the primary issues, allowing for the solutions to be individualised, which can be updated on a regular basis if required.

Your people don’t have to be poor performers to warrant coaching with us. We know that true coaching is often used to resolve gaps between actual performance and expected standards, but it can also develop characteristics beyond your people’s current contribution to competent and excellent performance within your organisation.

We strongly believe that coaching is as likely to be about removing a block to a latent skill as it is to be about enhancing the way a characteristic works.

The coaching would be set up on a ‘one-to-one’ basis. It can work on a one-to-some (two or more), but this would be more unusual.

Below outlines the process of a one-to-one coaching relationship.

• There is usually an initial two hour meeting at which a ‘Coaching Contract’ is agreed. At this point the relationship between coach and coachee is established, parameters are agreed and objectives are set.

The relationship is central to the success of the experience. It revolves around key elements of empathy, trust and synergy. During this meeting objectives between the coach and coachee will be agreed, together with questions to be asked and pursued during the coaching contract.

A ‘Coaching Diary’ system will also be established so that the coachee can note important event, conversations or issues in there working or personal lives in the interim period between the coaching sessions, from which topics for analysis and discussion may arise.

• ‘The Coaching Contract’ will typically last from between 4–6 months, however if a shorter more intense coaching relationship is required that can also be arranged. Coaching is an individual experience.

The sessions would be conducted at your offices, usually on a three weekly or monthly cycle.

All sessions are completely confidential and there will be no reporting (other than an outline basis agreed with the coachee, if required) to the organisation or anyone else of conversations, issues or objectives
