1:1 Coaching Services
1:1 coaching has been proven as a highly effective development tool.
Two key areas where this approach can be at it's most effective are:
Career Coaching
We can help you to devise a very effective CV; Target the right jobs; Interview well and Negotiate the right salary. Working closely with a Coach will enable you to overcome the challenges that are specific to your unique situation, and will give you the confidence to be successful.
Move into the new role that you really want. Work with us to:
- find a new job following redundancy
- move up the career ladder
- change career
- protect your career against potential risks
- set up your own business
Leadership
We provide Executive Coaching to people who want to become more effective, confident leaders. We can help you to clearly understand your current management style and recognise the behaviours that work...and those that do not. We help you to build on your strengths, and develop the essential skills and abilities required to meet the challenges of today's business environment.
The Coaching Process
1:1 coaching can take place face to face, over the telephone, or even by email.
An initial consultation meeting will explore your current situation, and start to build a picture of your aims for the future.
A *Coaching Programme would be agreed as an outcome from this meeting, and will be tailored to meet your needs.
The core questions to be explored through the Programme are usually:
- What specifically needs to change?
- What are the priorities?
- What barriers are in the way?
- What has worked well in the past?
- What has not?
- What personal strengths can be built on?
- What skills and qualities need to be developed?
- What actions need to be taken (Action Plan)?
- What support is needed?
- What will be the 'measures of success'?
