Professional Coaching for Performance

You may have heard about life coaching in the media or even met a Performance Coach in your workplace. Coaching began as a tool to promote executive leadership in the USA and has since grown into a global industry. It is the practice of success and achievement. Celebrities, Business people, Sports people and Politicians have all hired Life Coaches as coaching assists a person to move forward faster towards goals, be these in career, business or in your personal life.

• Are you someone who wants to change or develop your job or career?
• Are you an employer that wants to develop and empower your staff (your most valuable asset)?
• Are you a business person looking for more motivation, confidence and the opportunity to reinvigorate and grow your business?
• Are you someone who wants more direction in life?

If the answer to the above is Yes, then a tailored and bespoke programme of coaching could be for you. Coaching for Career, Business and Personal Performance is currently available.

Career Coaching

We spend almost a third of our lives at work and it is one of the most powerful influences on our wellbeing and lifestyle. Working at a job you enjoy offers a multitude of benefits including financial stability and security, personal happiness, opportunities for promotion and development and greatly reduces the risk of stress and burn-out. I work from the standpoint that knowing our own values, our skills, our strengths and passions and tailoring our career search in line with these factors offers a much better chance of landing the ‘right’ job in the ‘right’ career. While money is undoubtedly an important consideration for all of us, I am most passionate about being happy in my job and when I am happy I am always successful.

I offer four types of Career Coaching:

• Career Change - are you unhappy in your job or chosen career and need a change?
• New Role - are you in a new job and want to make a significant impact with your boss and colleagues within those all important first six months?
• Career Management - are you already in a career but experiencing workplace bullying, loss of work/life balance, the need for a promotion or pay rise, wondering how to lead and inspire your team or already good at what you do but want to be even better?
• Job Search - are you looking for a new job but not getting the results you want? Do you need to rethink your job search plan and make the most of your CV, networking opportunities and interviews?

If you replied Yes to any of the above please contact me to discuss your requirements.

Business Development Coaching

I have worked successfully with a wide variety of individuals including managerial staff, SME business owners, academics, community groups, young people, offenders and people with mental health difficulties. Every person brings something unique to the world and every person has enormous potential if it is harnessed in the right way. The Chartered Institute for Personnel and Development state that ‘coaching is a win-win solution for workforce development…improving the competitiveness and productivity of the business as a whole’. Did you know that Vodaphone used coaches to realise the potential of its workforce and went from 3rd place in the telecommunications market to 1st? Coaching is still part of company policy today.

I offer two types of coaching for business, Staff Development and Business Owner Coaching.

Staff Development

I will coach staff directly on the issues that matter most to their performance at work. These issues include individual performance, process issues, effective team leadership, communication, stress and time management, decision making, culture change and organisational change, confidence and motivation. Where applicable, I use the latest thinking on drive and motivation to inform my practice.

Business Owner Coaching

If you are a Business Owner, or have responsibility for the development of a business, I will work directly with you to address the issues you identify using the ‘million dollar question’. The Million Dollar question is the basis for rediscovering your motivation, your goals and targets, your vision for the future of your business and the passion in what you do. It can apply to you if your business has reached a plateau or simply if you need to think outside of the box and find new and creative pathways to grow your business.

If you wish to take advantage of this service please contact me to discuss your requirements.

Personal Performance Coaching

Coaching is an effective method of getting the results you want and powerful antidote to the stresses of modern living. It is safe to say that we all feel a loss of direction and purpose at times in our lives or have a sense that things need to change. Alternatively, you may have a very clear idea of where you want to be but lack the confidence or motivation to get there. Personal Performance Coaching is about the future and working one to one with a person on the issues you identify. Some examples of the issues where a Performance Coach may be hired are:

• Relationships
• Dealing with debt
• Developing a better work / life balance
• Increasing confidence and motivation
• Reaching for a personal goal or wanting to set your own SMART personal goals
• Developing a ‘winning’ mindset that serves you in the game of life
• Dealing with change
• Diet and Exercise
