Coaching

We believe all human beings have considerable untapped potential, and given the right advice, motivation and support, most are capable of developing this potential to lead more fulfilling lives whilst also growing their career. We will discuss your needs and tailor the content, and the number and frequency of sessions for you.

The focus can be on relationships, time management, presentation skills, improving assertiveness, negotiation skills to name a few. Coaching is usually booked for a set of sessions.

Expertise

We believe the key to a successful coaching relationship is the creation of a successful “partnership” between coach and coachee based upon mutual respect. The coachee needs to believe that the coach possesses the multi-faceted competence necessary to be able to:

Challenge their perspectives
Suggest alternative ways of thinking and tools
Motivate them to aspire to more
Follow through on commitments

They also need to develop the confidence that the coach acts in their best interests, with the overall aim being to evaluate what could/should be different, and then exploring together how to achieve such improvement.

Our approach uses the latest research from a number of sources, including management theory, psychology, philosophy, sociology and bio-medical research.

Content

Examples of topics, which can be included in a tailored coaching program are:

Understanding and managing the five elements which impact personal wellbeing
Developing emotional intelligence – understanding self and understanding others
Growing your personal brand
Managing stress
Goal-setting
Leadership principles
Establishing and maintaining effective relationships
Planning and organising
Effective Decision-making
Delegation
Handling conflict
Developing Assertiveness
Developing Resilience
Coping effectively with change
The art of influencing others
Problem-solving
Conducting effective performance appraisals
Dealing with challenging/underperforming staff
Work/life balance
Interviewing techniques
Presentation skills

To assist in the self-awareness aspect, we use a complementary Personality Profiling session as part of the coaching program.

Approach

Due to a range of variables, we believe it is difficult to predict at the outset how many sessions will be required to achieve specific outcomes.

These variables include the coachee’s capacity to develop; their commitment to outcomes; the complexity of the changes desired; and the influence of external factors.

We would suggest that the coach and coachee undertake a review of progress after 4- 6 se

ssions to determine outcomes achieved, and plan future requirements. It is our aim to empower subjects to increase their effectiveness so that they are able to develop independence as soon as possible, and we feel it is therefore important to design an individual Development Program for each coachee.

Coaching Outcomes

to better understand personal and professional strengths and weaknesses
to develop effective strategies to enhance strengths and minimise weaknesses
to develop confidence to trial new approaches
to learn effective ways to review and evaluate progress
to learn specific new skills based upon Development Plan criteria
to learn how to self-motivate so that progress is maintained

Notes are taken at and subsequent to, each session so that the coach can review the detail and prepare for the next session where appropriate

Fee Structure

We will compile an individual program for you based on your needs.

The monthly fee includes program compilation, a 1.5 hour face-to-face session (and preparation by the coach), tracking and reviewing progress, and intermittent contact (if required by phone and email).

Typically, there would be one session per month, but it can be beneficial at the commencement of the program to have fortnightly meetings so that faster traction is achieved
