It’s now widely recongised that coaching inputs are vital at key points in your businesses lifecyle or your career. Coaching is an investment, so it’s important you find a business coach/mentor you respect. Someone who has relevant experience, and who you have a good rapport with.
You’ll find overview of my career background here and details on my approach to coaching here. Do give me a call for an initial no obligation chat.
I work with individuals and teams, to facilitate a wide range of outcomes. Here are some examples:
Supporting business change: change will only succeed if you consider the transitions of all those affected by change. I work at a team level to unite a team around a common purpose, and then at an individual level with key personnel to facilitate their personal journey through the change. My overall focus is always to support the agreed business outcome.
Behavioural change: are you aware of some things you do holding you back in your career? I can help turn that awareness into new, more positive behaviours. Or, if you haven’t quite identified what it is you need to change (but have a niggle something isn’t right) I can help you work on self-awareness, then drive behaviour change.
Personal impact and confidence: Do people perceive you in the way you want them to, or do you want to develop more inner confidence to present yourself more powerfully? Whether it’s presentation skills, speaking up in meetings, dealing with challenging colleagues or networking, I can help you develop.
Influencing skills: are you finding that you spend a lot of time feeling frustrated that things just aren’t going your way? I can help you identify what behaviours could be contributing to this, and help improve your ability to positively influence outcomes.
Leadership skills development: are you happy with how you lead, or do you feel you could do better? If you’re motivated to create the best possible environment for yourself, your team and your business to thrive, I can help you enhance and develop your leadership style.
Marketing yourself: are you looking for that next promotion or career change? Knowing how to market yourself is key to success, and I can help articulate your strengths for maximum benefit.
Career transitions: are you starting a new job, or have you been promoted/taken on more responsibility? I can help you work on developing new, or enhancing existing behaviours/skills to improve your performance.
Psychometrics to support my work
Most large companies have already invested in some psychometric profiling of teams. I am familiar with pretty much all the tools on the market so can take and work with inputs if you have them. Alternatively, if you want to update or use profiling for the first time I am accredited in two tools as follows:
Strengthscope® is an innovative strengths profiling system that measures work related strengths. Using Positive Psychology it is underpinned by 10 years of testing and research, Strengthscope® helps energise peak performance by releasing the power of employees’ strengths. I offer two report options:
-
- Strengthscope360: scoring against 24 work-based strengths, performance risk areas and how these relate to performance. This includes feedback from up to 20 colleagues.
- StrengthscopeLeader – scoring against 24 work-based strengths, performance risks and effective leadership behaviours, ‘follower confidence index’. This again includes feedback from up to 20 colleagues.
ICS Connect – this tool helps people identify their communication styles to then improve the quality of their business relationships. Everyone has a preference in how they see the world around them and a preference in how they interact in that world. When we meet someone who sees the world the same way we do, there is no challenge in developing a strong relationship that leads to success. When meeting a person who sees the world and interacts with it differently, it can be a challenge to build a quality relationship.
