ENQUIRE ABOUT COACHING

OUR COACHING APPROACH

We believe…

There is no more powerful enabler for change than having someone who believes in you and challenges and supports you to achieve your goals.

Everyone has potential…

With motivation, every coachee has the potential to realise the outcomes they seek through a productive partnership.

We work strategically and behaviourally…

We coach clients to tackle both the surface-level challenges such as influencing across a matrix, alongside exploring the roots of their natural leadership style, values and beliefs. We believe that coaching at both levels is necessary for successful and sustainable change.

OUR ASSESSMENT APPROACH

We use assessment tools on a case-by-case basis depending on the needs and outcomes of the coachee, their manager and the sponsor of the engagement. Below are some of the psychometrics our team of coaches is certified in:

NEO PI R

EMBEDDING LEARNING THROUGH COACHING

Coaching enables learning to be applied to individual contexts, exploring and moving past the barriers that get in the way of taking smart risks, and providing accountability and momentum to start experimenting.

1:1 Coaching provides a safe and personalised space to explore sensitive and challenging topics and, building on the foundations of a psychometric, get clear on the biggest opportunities for growth.

Group coaching builds a longer-term culture of self-supporting networks where people challenge and support.

WHAT PEOPLE DO DIFFERENTLY AS A RESULT OF OUR COACHING

Asking for help from their leadership team peers to help manage priorities and workload before a potential burnout
Asking for a different work schedule to help accommodate childcare rather than staying quiet because “it would look bad for my career”
Asking for 1;1’s with senior leaders to share constructive feedback on behalf of their team
Using team meetings to check in properly in small groups before moving forward into business issues, and finding challenges resolved more quickly
Setting up meetings to share what they are working on to benefit the team rather than send emails, encourage discussion and raise personal visibility and impact.
Daily self-care space away from screens; examples include walking phone call meetings, morning/lunchtime walks, boundaries around meeting times.
Meeting up as a smaller group to cross-collaborate on a project, using their different skillsets to support their team members and hold each other accountable for their actions

It was like sitting next to a very successful business leader on a long-haul flight, where the conversation never stopped…It’s been a great process to give me greater confidence and focus on the things I need to do. I’ve strengthened relationships with the sales team and even won an award that they nominated me for! Profitability has improved and the whole team have been engaged and motivated when making the changes.

- Director, Professional Services

The session really, really helped me. I realise that I’d made the problem much bigger than it was. I feel much lighter.

- Director, Channel Sales, BP

I feel more confident, I trust others and myself more and I’m able to give more daring feedback that I wanted to give but hadn’t felt like I could.

- Coaching Client

Conversations like this are so rare – taking the focus away from operational to the strategic – why don’t we use this approach more?
