Coaching
In challenging times, businesses require people not only to be able to maintain levels of performance but also to be innovative, proactive, learn new skills and adopt new approaches. We see coaching as a question based, action-oriented process to focus someone on what they actually do, and through questioning draw out how they believe that might be improved and developed. Good coaching builds competence and confidence.
Our work in the area of coaching falls into two categories. We provide executive coaching for individuals and training in coaching for managers.
With individuals there are a number of scenarios where coaching can be used to good effect –
- To improve performance in a specific area
- To develop a different approach to the way particular tasks are done
- To fast-track someone into a new role and responsibilities
- To tackle underperformance
- To support a change to working practices or responsibilities
When we work to develop coaching skills for managers it is frequently to support changes to organisational strategy or style. For example, there may be a need to leverage more innovation and responsibility from people and managers need to improve their ability to encourage ideas and upward communication. Frequently managers are required to raise their game in the area of developing their people and good coaching skills are a pre-requisite for this.
