Whatever the size of business there are always instances when individuals need help resolving an issue or want to work on improving a specific area of their business skills.  Coaching can help individuals solve problems and eliminate personal issues that interrupt concentration in the workplace and improve relationships.  

The sporting world has shown for many years the advantages a coach can bring.  Coaching helps to bring out the best in an individual by helping them see, feel and think differently about the situation they are in.

Many people already have the skills they need to do well but don't have the confidence to use them.  Coaching can help break down this common problem to allow them to perform at the level they were always capable of.

Coaching solutions are available to solve short term issues and to improve performance over a longer period. 

Please pick the best solution for your circumstances.

1) Breakthrough & Build
Business coaching has traditionally shied away from the underlying behavioural and emotional aspects of people's situation and state, but this is not how people work.  All performance improvement starts with a congruent desire to improve and change, and includes learning to manage one's state.

Whether your starting point is dealing with a problem or working towards an outcome what makes the difference is addressing attitudes and resulting behaviours, including eliminating self-limiting beliefs.

Breakthrough
Breakthrough is often undertaken at the start of, or as part of, a period of Build.  It's an intensive one day individual session with the purpose of identifying then addressing and correcting the factors at the cause of a particular issue.  The individual will discover the processes, reasons and purpose involved, and then work through techniques that will immediately bring about the desired change back in the workplace.

Build
Build is a process of ongoing individual or group coaching involving a fully tailored programme, structured and phased to fit with the organisation's expectations and the individual's requirements.  It embeds appropriate attitudinal and behavioural changes as well as exploring and neutralising performance limiting factors.  When combined with Breakthrough it reinforces the change and enables the individual to develop further and explore other issues.

Breakthrough & Build can address both the short term (ie be issue focused) or the longer term (ie be development focused), for example:

Problem: A recent promotion or recruit in a key role appears not be living up to their promise or indeed a long standing appointment appears to have reached a performance plateau below their peak
Solution:  A combined programme of Breakthrough & Build to restore and enhance peak performance

Problem: A previously performing individual appears to be under significant stress for reasons that are unclear, which could be either personal or work, causing a drop off in performance or indeed inappropriate behaviour which is impacting on their team
Solution: A Breakthrough to identify and resolve the individual?s situation and state restoring performance

Problem: A previously stable Board of Directors has experienced changes and is now not functioning well
Solution:  Group Build programme focused on group dynamics and defining well formed outcomes.

2) The Coaching Hotline
The Coaching Hotline is a tool for businesses who want and need coaching for designated members of their team on an ad hoc basis.  The Hotline works by your company buying minutes of coaching time which can be used on a draw down basis.

The benefit of the Coaching Hotline is obvious, you and your staff get access to coaching when they need it most and for the time they really need it.

Please contact the office for further details.  Tel: 01494 790890

3) Building A Coaching And Mentoring Culture
Companies who have experienced the benefits of coaching from external coaches can decide to train their own internal coaches.  The Certain Change Performance Coaching Programme is designed to take enthusiastic novices and teach them the techniques, attitude and skills to be an effective coach.

Designed for those members of your staff who have a responsibility for bringing out the best in people, your delegates not only become productive and trusted coaches but also learn how to introduce a coaching culture into your organisation.

For more information on any of the above options, or to discuss your particular requirements in more detail please call Stephen Bates on 01494 790890.
