Coaching Overview

Coaching and You

How often do you need to:

Make a major change?
Take on a challenging project?
Develop a new role?
Alter your style of managing?
Achieve higher performance for yourself or your team?
Deal with unsatisfactory work relationships?
Update your knowledge or skills?

Getting the input of an expert in difficult situations such as these was once seen as an unnecessary extravagance. Nowadays, however, support and challenge from an experienced coach - inside or outside your organisation - who can offer a balanced, sympathetic, yet objective view, is often a necessity, not just a luxury.

Do you recognise any of these situations?

'I'm having to take on more responsibilities, with fewer resources and less time. How does my boss expect me to handle it?'

'I don't have anyone at work I can ask for help, yet I'm being asked to do things which I can't be expected to know!'

'It's too much. I can't go on like this. How do I find a better balance between my working and my personal life?'

'I've just had my appraisal and it was really bad. I realise I've been too busy with my head down, just doing my job. My manager hasn't been any help. What do I have to do to take control of my own career and development?'

'I feel stuck. I don't know what I want to do. I don't know where my job is going. The way this industry is going, I don't even know if I'll have a job in a year's time. What should I do?'

'Wow. It feels like I'm on a roller-coaster. This is such an amazing opportunity - but am I really up to it? There's so much to learn. Where do I start?'

There never seems to be a training course that gives you what you need, just when you need it. In fact, when did you last attend a training course? And what did you get out of it? Our clients tell us that, even when they have time for training, most traditional development courses involve them in substantial periods of time away from the job, cover a general range of material, and provide only limited ideas about application.

And all the good ideas and fancy action plans stay in the folder within a couple of hours of returning to 'the real world' and the day-to-day pressures of their jobs.
