Philosophy
Although plans for improving an individual’s skills or an organization’s effectiveness may exist, many organizations have difficulty putting them into practice. Coaching helps address this by providing focus and structure and helps ensure that plans for improvement are developed, personalized, implemented and tailored to meet the specific needs of an individual or organization. Coaching also helps clients understand and meet the challenges of the potentially adverse impacts of constant change on their organizations. Through coaching, we help clients anticipate change and innovate quickly, leveraging their existing strengths to achieve their goals.
Our Approach
Although we can, and do, provide personal, one-on-one coaching support to our clients, the coaching methodology we find our clients demand most can be described as a ‘Corporate Coaching’ approach, which is typically focused on work groups or teams first and individuals second. We generally subscribe to the following criteria
- The coaching relationship is based on an atmosphere of frank honesty and mutual respect designed to promote strong trust relationships
- People from all levels in the organization have something to contribute to the process
- Coaching goals should be focused on achieving improved business results or better organizational performance
- Coaching can be applied to either individuals or groups
- Consistency, frequency, flexibility and formality are essential elements of a successful coaching plan
- Active listening is an important part of the job of the coach
- Coaching success is measured by the progress, growth and accelerated development of the individuals or groups being coached, and the value that they add to the bottom line of the business.
