Coaching Programmes

In our experience, focusing on an executives’ total needs, both organisational and personal, delivers the best results for the organisation.

How Coaching is perceived
Our clients see coaching as an opportunity for executives to move towards scoring 10 out of 10 in all areas, at work and their personal lives. The executive benefits as much as the company does.

Whilst it is usually seen as a development tool to address challenges and difficulties or to enhance strengths, coaching can also be offered as a company perk. Sometimes coaching is part funded by the organisation and part by the executive. This arrangement can be extremely effective in generating results.

What makes Coaching effective?
100% confidentiality is essential in generating results

Coaching is usually at its most effective when the client is committed to the process and getting results. For the more motivated executive, commitment is likely to be in place before they even start coaching. In other circumstances, commitment begins only once the process has started. This often applies to the executive who comes for coaching following a recommendation that it may prove beneficial for his/her professional development.

Our experience has shown us that even the more sceptical get results. Surprisingly they are often the ones who get the most outstanding results from coaching!

How Coaching programmes are created
Working with the client, we will together identify the areas in their work and their life where coaching can make the biggest difference and set some inspiring goals (usually 2 to 3). These goals then become the focus of the coaching series. Organisational requirements are incorporated as appropriate.

Our coaching programmes are tailor-made and usually last 6 months, but can be longer or shorter. A typical programme includes;

• Initial assessment of individual clients to evaluate work and life needs and establish goals

• 2 one hour sessions per month (telephone or face to face)

• Unlimited telephone and email access to your coach to answer questions, share successes or deal with urgent interim issues

• Tailor made exercises and practices to implement between sessions to facilitate achievement of goals

• Frequent reviews take place throughout the coaching

• Strategies for ongoing support

• Full confidentiality
